Salty Mariner is one of those fragrances that you either immediately love or … you just don’t get it. There’s not a whole lot of waffling involved. It’s primarily an ozoney fragrance, meant to make you reminisce about the sea, waves and salt. But, if it’s not your fave or you just downright aren’t a fan of smelling like oceany sea brine, I’ve designed some blends to make it palatable even for the most discerning fragrance snob. I hope you enjoy them and the fragrance when you try it.

And now, I’m off to Otion to teach an overflowing, full Cold Process I class. It should be a delight.
Amy, So glad that I could help! And if these don’t work for you, let me know and I’ll design a few more.
Yikes. A pound of a fragrance that you’re not in love with is no fun … I’m so glad you spoke up =) Please let me know what else I can do to help.
Oh yeah! I am NOT a huge fan of the salty sea smell, and I have an entire pound of the stuff. Thank you for these suggestions – I will give some of them a try!
Oh take my breath away
Merryn, You can find that icon here: http://blogsolute.com/2008/11/follow-me-twitter-icon-set-download.html There are a LOT of great Twitter icons.
And the rest of you, wow! Thanks for the outpouring of support for the soap design. I’m actually getting ready to film the tutorial on making that very soap for SoapQueenTV. Look for it to air late May. I think it’s the 5th show in the series?
Oh, my! What a beautiful soap!
That soap is beautiful! It reminds me of the beach. Ahh, I miss the beach but right now it’s still frozen 🙁 You should do a tutorial on how to make a soap like that!
Ooooh, sounds intriguing!
Fantastic looking soap! Reminds me of the ocean surf at dawn or dusk. Incredible!
that soap is beyond pretty!
Where did you find the “follow me on twitter” icon? I’d love to have one!!!!!
Salty Mariner is a FABULOUS fragrance. On thing though, it does accelerate trace like it’s stated, only it was a lot faster than I thought it would be. It was instantly, as soon as the fragrance hit the emulsion.
Still, if you work fast enough, it’s not a problem.
That is one gorgeous bar of soap!
Is that picture from the loaf you posted yesterday? It’s absolutely lovely! And very stormy sea-ish.
