Looking for a New SOAP Fall/Winter Team

We’re itching to test some of our new Fall fragrance samples that were specially formulated just for Bramble Berry. Do you want to be on the Fall/Winter S.O.A.P. team and be the first to test them?

What’s the S.O.A.P. panel you ask? Soap Opinion (Awesome) Panel members will receive 9 one ounce fragrance samples of our top Fall choices for Fall/Winter 2011. Give the cutting-edge fragrances a sniff AND test them in any product you like (really, anything you want). Then fill out a survey to help distinguish the top choices. We want your honest opinion and notes on testing!

After weeks of built up anticipation, it’s finally time for the big fragrance oil reveal! Our new S.O.A.P. fragrances (Summer edition) are here and ready to order. Here’s a link to the S.O.A.P.(Y) Round Up from the Summer Soap Panel.

Try all three fragrances in the click of a button!

Southern Peach (mystery fragrance #3): This isn’t your traditional peach; it’s softer, more rounded with some white floral notes and supporting softer tropical notes (think guava, mango and ripe papaya) thrown in to make a complex, sweet peachy dessert scent. It goes a yellow in CP soap (but you can easily make this work with your design).

S.O.A.P. Team Reaction: “Out of the bottle, this is a sweet, smooth fragrance. One of my favorites, for sure! In CP soap, it turned lemon yellow initially and still smells really good. Really hasn’t discolored much over time either. In the lotion test, it performed quite nicely, and took 2nd place in my customer’s poll.”

Thank You Summer S.O.A.P. Testing Team! You all went above and beyond in your testing. There was lotion, liquid soap, cold process soap and sugar scrubs. There was even one lucky fragrance oil that got its picture taken with Mount Rushmore.  And now an official shout out to the fabulous S.O.A.P. team. Thanks again!

It’s finally time for the S.O.A.P. panel (floral edition) fragrance oil reveal (bells and whistles)! The top three fragrances are in the warehouse and ready to order. Bramble Berry is pleased to introduce to you Cherry Blossom, Orange Grove, and Eucalyptus Blossom!

 

Cherry Blossom Fragrance Oil: This lighter fragrance is a fruity floral delight for the senses; with notes of sweet pomegranate seeds, tart juicy currant mingling beautifully with pink cherry blossom and delicate white magnolia, this is a floral that will quietly steal your heart and have you bursting into song for no reason. This was one of the mystery fragrances in our Spring 2011 S.O.A.P. panel and it was a big hit with it’s fresh and clean scent. Does not discolor or accelerate trace in Cold Process soap.

S.O.A.P. Team Reaction: “Heaven! Sweet clean smell favorite in alllllllllllllll products!!!! Will be buying this one as sooooon as it’s ready!!!!!!!! I am in love with this and it preformed well in CP. No problems”
