Dear Patchouli; I hate you. The end.

[BuzzPlanet]

Patchouli oil (think incense, hippies, the sixties) is one of those things that people either love or hate. My customers love; I hate. Seriously, I hate working with it because I smell and taste patchouli for hours afterwards. I just finished a batch of patchouli amber musk soap that I am calling, "Hippie Skippy"; because I'm selling at a "patchouli-friendly" venue on Thursday. Then I came inside and my husband handed me a hot dog; and I grabbed it with my patchouli scented hand; and now I can taste patchouli. Yuck.

I learn so much about soap making here and what not to eat

I really agree about patchouli! I hate it! We sell patchouli candles in our shop but mostly only special orders because I cannot stand to make them! When I have patchouli candles in my candle room, they over power every other candle in there!!!

Bwhaha- is your patchouli friendly venue also 420 friendly? Sounds like it may be ;)

I don't mind the smell but only a little of it - there's a shop in my hometown that's a little hippy giftshop that burns incense of the stuff and every time I leave there I feel like I have soap in my mouth!

< taking notes....No matter how good soap smells, DO NOT EAT it.

Yes, very hemp friendly; I added hemp butter to the patchouli soap for good measure; I got invited to sell at a "hemp festival", but I'm skeered.......

Last time I was there I sold out of my patchouli; but since I'm prepared this time; I won't sell any......

That's always the way Buzz - get ready, sell nothing, fly by the seat of your pants, have none of the one thing people are dying for.

Spicer - no matter how good it looks or smells, it will not taste good - promise.

The smell reminds me of Raid...

Ooh, you're right! My sister; who wears tie-dye without any trace of irony; goes NUTS for patchouli! She came into town and I hugged her and immediately could tell she used my Hempy Mama lotion; it smells better on people than in the bottle, but still not great.

I don't like the smell of patchouli very much.
