Beautiful per usual Holly!!! And thank you for your honesty on how the scent smells and sets up in your opinion. This is extremely helpful for all soapers. God Bless you 10 fold!

Thank you so much!

For future reference, keep a little container of coffee beans where you store your fragrance and essential oils. Everytime you need to "cleanse your palette", so to speak, open the container of coffee and smell it a couple times. Then put the lid back on and continue with the task of picking out your fragrance. The coffee totally get rid of all the built up fragrances in your sinuses, leaving you clear headed to smell more. Kinda like when you are tasting wine or are a judge at a bbq contest, they give you fruit and cheese, sometimes crackers to cleans your taste buds. Santee thing applies to coffee and fragrances.

I do sniff coffee sometimes. It helps a little. Sometimes my nose holds the coffee. LOL

you're seriously the best soap maker on youtube. all your soaps smell amazing, look so good and are phenomenal. I've purchased soaps from a lot of different soap makers but your soaps are by far the best.

I love the look of this soap. I find many watermelon soaps have too much rind for my taste. I do like the darker colour of the other soap you shared. I hope you can find a watermelon fragrance you like!

This is still a lovely soap Holly! Like another viewer, I really like the thinner rind too. I find Watermelon is a tough scent to deal with, it either seizes or you have to use a mix of some sort and more times than not it will discolour. Thank you for sharing your test batches too, I enjoy watching! ;)

Thank you! Yes, you are exactly right. I meant to mention or note in the video that the reason I don't tend to do large batches is also because it usually gets thick too fast. Too bad that this one played nice but doesn't smell a thing like watermelon.

Since I reduce the water in the solution, it often creates 'lye lint'. I usually don't strain a freshly made lye solution but if it has been sitting for a while, it can get 'crunchy' and then I do strain it so I don't have any lye pockets.
