Pomegranate & Black Currant fragrance is a deep fruity fragrance with just a tinch of tartness. With Pomegranate being the fruit du jour of 2008, it’s popping up in bath and body products more and more in 2009. This fragrance is tangy and sweet, all at the same time. Here are some blends to bring out either the tangy or sweetness in this fragrance. And if you have any other blends, I want to hear about them. The more ways we can find to make this fragrance unique and versatile through blending, the cheaper your products ultimately become.

It will arrive to our warehouse on 6/25 or 6/26 so just one more week. Do you want me to do a backorder of it for you?
Do you have an ETA on this yet? I'm in serious withdrawal!
Merryn,
I’ll get you an update on Monday We can’t have you without this fun fragrance very long, can we? =)
Ack you are out of this amazing FO – when will you get more in? I need some!
Melt and Pour and salt don’t really go well together. Maybe a solid bath scrub would be more up your alley? Not soap but also very fun and cool.
I’ll work on it for the blog but it’s basically beeswax, oils and salt or sugar. Mix it all together, toss it in a cute mold, wait to harden and then viola! adorable solid scrub that you use to moisturize and exfoliate in the shower. =)
that sounds wonderful!
a whole tea line would be great
in fact!
BB Black Tea blends beautifully with BB Green Tea, ratio of 1:1, and I like the same ratio of Matcha Tea and Green Tea too!
I just opened up my free sample of Pomegranate & Black Currant with my order today and I must say I am in love!! I keep opening it up to smell it. I will soon be ordering some and I can't wait to make a whole line with that fragrance!
I don't even know if I want to dilute it with any other scents…. its that good!
that does sound good!
champagne and pomegranate!!!!
not sure about tea though…..
Anne-Marie,
I have so far done cold process once! It turned out great…better than lumpy rebatch
I also did.
For now I think I’ll focus on beautifully fragrant and beautifully colored soap….so melt and pour. But a solid scrub is something that I have seen on etsy and it looks fascinating…..
do you have recipes? I would be ever so grateful!
also, I made a sugar scrub for a friend and she told me her little tiny sugar ants ate it all up!!!!
🙂
we live in the deep south…and bugs abound!
No blend with champagne or black tea? I'd think either one would be fabulous! Since I don't have the Pomegranate & Black Currant (yet) I can't try it out myself. *sadness*
Carol, Yes, you can use all of these in bath and body products. Kudos for doing your homework. =)
Kat, I love salts and scrubs. I love them because they work (that’s important) but also because they are so easy and inexpensive to make. It’s so nice to make a product as good as the ones that you buy at the spa … for a fraction of the price.
Do you want to do cold process or melt and pour soap for the salty soap bar? Have you considered a solid scrub for that instead?
Anne-Marie,
Are these soap blends or can they be used in bath and body products too? They sound fabulous!
oh and, forgive me!
just wanna say i am now hooked
forever on soaping.
it took awhile for me
since I am primarily doing
chandlery with bath and body
to supplement:
however, i made some salts
this weekend for a friend
with candles to match
and some soap
i tried to make it a soap/salt
bar and it didn’t quite work out
do you have a recipe for that?
a salty soap bar? for feet?
looked all over…
but anyways, oh my gosh
i got out all my essential oils
lemon
lime
eucalyptus
rosemary
peppermint
and put them in the salts and the
soap and now
i am hooked forever forever
FOREVER!
so fresh and clean
and invigorating!
now, my quest is to
try to capture the soap that
i smelled at the marriott hotel
in downtown bangkok
5 years ago!
decidedly lemongrass
duh
but what else?
it captivated me
and memories started flying by
from yesteryear.
fragrance has the power to
transport one….
it would behoove us all to become
masters at it, no?
also, fyi
on MSN home page last week
it talked about the fragrances that
men like:
1) they like fresh and clean
2) they don’t like foods for body
products.
Not to say they don’t like fruity;
just to say they don’t want their girlfriends to smell like cake,pie or pudding!
Wow! 3 posts in one day! I knew you were busy!
I once remember listening to the man (name escapes me right now) who founded Starbucks. On his colored coffee drinks in particular the “green tea” frappacino or such, he said,
“we study the auto industry for color trends”
That one comment really stuck with me!
Not one to like geometrical or atomic or angular prints it makes sense that Americans want their
“ducks” in a row if little else can be!
Anne-Marie! i have so waited for your imput on fragrance! Now, to get ready to order!
I have polled customers that I know for the last year and fruity and fresh came out big big.
at least with the 18 – 25 year olds. Good to know we are on
target for this!
Thanks for all the imput!
also, i read in another source that the big color for this year is sunflower yellow! such a happy color!
