Orange Spice

Sweet orange with cinnamon and clove

Digital download · 2 files · available the moment you pay

Orange on its own fades fast in soap. Cinnamon and clove hold it in place, and the three together end up smelling like the middle of December.

The colour comes from spice rather than a mica, so it deepens over the cure instead of washing out. The amount matters — too much and the lather runs yellow on a white flannel.

Batch: 1100g oils · 9 bars
Method: Cold process
Level: Beginner
Cure: 6 weeks
