Fragrance Review for Handmade Soap
What are the most popular fragrances in the handmade soap industry and why. This is a question that has a seasonal answer. Different fragrances are more popular in the fall than the ones that make it to the top of the list in the spring. I have always sold a lot of pumpkin spice in late November but could not imagine anyone wanting to purchase this fall fragranc in the spring. We have a fragarnce that is named summer citrus that does surprisingly well in the winter. Just wishful thinking for all of us Midwesterners.
One on the best resources to check out for fragrance ideas is the website "save on scents." When you get to this site click on the button that says fragrance and body oils. Then click on the button that says best sellers. This will give you give you a list of twenty fragrances that were the best sellers from the previous month. What an amazing resource. let's have a look at the best seller list from April.
REDACTED Yes this is a light fruity fragrance with a few earthy undertones. Makes a great spring fragrance, though I think you will find that this one sells all year long.
Clean Cotton This is the Yankee Candle knockoff. This is very much in keeping with spring theme. The Yankee candle company spends millions of dollars on marketing and research. Yes you should use this knowledge to help make decisions for your own line of soap.
Sweet Pea This is a floral that has a very nice "green undertone" and has been selling very well lately. we have noticed a lot more inquiries for this fragrance, so I'm glad we carry this one.
Warm Vanilla Sugar This fragrance has been making a strong showing all yaer round. It does especially well in the winter months. Now we can see that it is doing well in the spring also. This one is a keeper that you should have in your line all year long.
Cucumber Melon I love this fragrance, though we had a hard time finding one that worked in soap making part of our line Save on Scents has a good one that I would recommend that goes through the cold processed soap making process well and keeps it fragrance.
Use this great resource often and please drop me a note to let me know what is working for you. I am glad to share any ideas and I'm looking for a new hit fragrance all the time.
