Hello, everyone! It’s been a while since I last posted but we’ve been preeeeetty busy making and getting the soap ready for the GBK Academy Awards Gift Lounge.
After we made the soap for the display, we had to make 100 bars of soap (50 Cool Rhythm and 50 Soft Rain) to be included in the swag bags for celebrities. This took us a little longer than usual because we were extremely tired after the busy Holiday season.
We took some pictures along the way so we can share. Here we go…
We’ve been asked many times: how do you cut it? Do you have a soap cutter, a machine or something? Well, not really! We just use a big pizza knife and a little bit of precision. 
Our hand cutting is not perfect but we are getting better with every bar we cut!
If you get a bigger bar than the 6 oz you paid for, well… put the blame on us and enjoy! And yes, those on the side are samples. As a rule of thumb, we send at least one sample (in whatever fragrance we have available) with every order.
Have I told you 100 bars is a lot?! It doesn’t seem like it but, trust me, when you make and wrap each and every one of them in a short time, you have a different perspective! Here is more soap!
…and more…
Curious to find out how we packaged all these soaps? Stay tuned for more pictures and blog posts from our Oscars Preps! And don’t forget to give us some comment love!
Now, got get your own soap bar of Cool Rhythm or Soft Rain at www.MagicSenses.com! They make the perfect gift for your loved ones and yourself!

With summer comes warmer, longer days where thoughts of escaping to a relaxing getaway get harder to ignore. The weather also brings visions of exhilarating tropical locales and island jaunts, including Tahiti – one of the largest islands located in the southern Pacific Ocean. When you long for the swaying of palm trees, black sand beaches, and scents of leisure, Magic Senses has you covered.
We think it’s time that you embrace the cooling sensation of Tahitian Breeze glycerin soap – an instant vacation contained in a 6-ounce bar of handmade soap. Set in a fresh aqua base with soap flakes of “white coconut,” you’ll come one step closer to sipping a pina colada on a sun-drenched shoreline.
Give the Gift of Tropical Scents
Our handcrafted Tahitian Breeze glycerin soap is a one-of-a-kind treat that also makes a unique gift for family and friends. One of the things that set our soap from others on the market is that no two soaps are ever exactly the same – in shape, color and design. The uplifting scents of soaps, such as Tahitian Breeze, make special get-well gestures and offer an effective way to send your condolences.
Tropical-scented soaps also bring back memories for avid travelers who long to have the fragrance of their tropical adventures close at hand. For a more extravagant display, consider creating a gift basket of tropical-themed soaps. Try our similar scents, such as the tropical fruitiness of Mango Papaya, the salty air of Seaside, the romantic waves of Hawaii, and the marine sights of Oceans.
The Advantages of Glycerin Soap
Introduce a loved one to the gentle cleansing power of Magic Senses soaps – made with vegetable glycerin, fragrance oil, coloring, water, and love. Users with sensitive skin, eczema or psoriasis who choose our glycerin soap will also sidestep the irritating chemicals of commercial products that leave skin excessively dry and agitated. If you’re looking to moisturize and promote healthy skin, why not choose a soap that transports your mind and body to the enchantment of Tahiti?
If flying over the Pacific Ocean and landing at one of the most infamous islands in the world is currently out of your budget, you can bring the intoxicating scents of Hawaii and other international delights to the comforts of your own home. With Magic Senses handcrafted glycerin soap, the natural fragrances of beautiful blossoms will awaken your senses and transport you to your very own personal getaway.
Easily travel to exotic destinations, as our handcrafted Hawaii soap captures the magical quality of tropical islands and aromatic flowers. We’ve included the fascinating blend of plumeria, gardenia, and pikake – a species of Hawaiian jasmine better known as Jasminum sambac. The appearance of the soap is just as tempting with an energetic pink-purple base filled with decorative waves.
About Jasminum Sambuc (Pikake)
Widely grown throughout the tropics, the strong scent of pikake flowers are used as a gorgeous ornamental plant or most famously to enliven welcoming leis with distinct shapes and colors.
In the Philippines, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and the southwestern and southern parts of Asia, the same species of jasmine found in Hawaii decorates these regions. Called the sampaguita in the Philippines, the government named the flower their national bloom. Stringing the flowers together, the blooms create breathtaking leis, corsages and crowns used for offerings at religious altars or for welcoming guests.
With the majority of the country practicing the Buddhist faith, Cambodians have been using wooden needles to thread flower buds together to offer the Buddha. In China, the flower is transformed into a soothing jasmine tea. The sweet fragrance of the flower is also popular in Bengali, making the perfect embellishment in women’s hair.
A Worldly Fragrance
Our handcrafted Hawaii glycerin soap not only allows you to inexpensively travel the world, but to also freshen up, relax, and luxuriate after a hard day at work. Treat your sensitive skin to a moisturizing experience with natural fragrances that leave behind a light scent of the tropical islands and worldwide destinations. Create an attractive gift basket of Hawaii soap for family and friends or pair with other selections in our collection of floral glycerin soaps for the ultimate gesture.
When you just can’t settle on a single one-of-a-kind handcrafted glycerin soap, Magic Senses offers mini gift sets comprised of two different fragrances and unique designs. Offering a chance to explore a range of our themed Soap Collections, choose a mini gift set for yourself or send as a present for that special friend or family member – especially during the upcoming holidays. Packaged in festive decorative boxes and made with love, we offer the following exclusive gift sets:
If the soothing shade of blue is your favorite color, then two of our most popular Fresh and Clean Soaps should tickle your fancy: Rain and Oceans. For a naturally fresh, clean scent, Rain glycerin soap moisturizes the body with no added chemicals – leaving behind a subtle scent. Beads of white and blue appear within a lovely translucent blue-green base.
Featured in the 2009 Holiday Issue of the San Joaquin Magazine, our Lavender Oatmeal and Oatmeal Almond soaps represent duel-purpose selections that lightly blanket the body with natural fragrances and provide satisfying exfoliation. For example, the soft nut-colored clear base of our Oatmeal Almond glycerin soap allows you to easily examine the robust supply of oats.
Lavender essential oil not only provides one of the most relaxing natural fragrances, but also aids in the quest for a more calming and stress-relieving bathing experience. Our Mini Lavender Gift Set comes with a bar of Lavender Oatmeal and Lavender – an eye-catching selection in a fresh clear base decorated with green leafy waves and violet swirls.
Take a trip back to one of the most sensual decades of our times with a burst of 60′s love delivered in our Mini Hippie Mini Gift Set. The colorful presentation of a bar of Peace of Patchouli offers a bright orange base containing an artistic tie-dye peace symbol. Using the classic clean fragrance of Sandalwood, embrace the sedative properties of the second handcrafted glycerin soap selection in this gift set – captured in a solid white base with dark brown swirls of seduction.
The Mini Holiday Gift Set includes our refreshingly spicy Orange Clove and the ancient Roman scent of pine-like myrrh, which fills a room with a distinct herbal fragrance. The solid beige base with attractive yellow swirls of Myrrh helps create an inviting scene for both bathrooms and guest bedrooms.
After a hard day of work or to satisfy your need to unwind, the Time to Relax Mini Gift Set creates a tranquil escape with our Chamomile Sage and Mystique glycerin soaps. Also known as our Sandalwood Amber Oatmeal Soap, Mystique provides a soothing fragrance, while Chamomile Sage contains a well-known calming herb (chamomile) in the world of natural healing.
For holidays, birthdays, or ‘just because’, Magic Senses mini gift sets allow you or a special someone to experience the beauty of our one-of-a-kind glycerin soaps – handcrafted with natural ingredients and packaged with love.

Orange Clove Glycerin Soap
It’s really no surprise that the Orange Clove Glycerin Soap is one of our most popular holiday soaps, if not the most popular. In 2007 and 2008, it was the top selling soap for the holidays and when you breathe in the fragrance of this soap, you’ll know why. The combination of cloves with oranges, and a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon, are traditional scents used during the holiday season. If you hold this soap under your nose, close your eyes and inhale, you’ll think it’s that time of year already.
Although some soaps and candles have an orange fragrance that can be a bit sweet and overwhelming, this isn’t the case with the Orange Clove Soap. By using orange scented fragrance oil, the soap has a fresh, sharp orange smell. It’s almost as if you had peeled an orange yourself or poured a glass of cool Florida orange juice.
Saying that, the sharp zing of the orange scent, makes this an ideal soap for starting your day. While the cloves have a smooth, sultry fragrance, especially when combined with nutmeg and cinnamon, it’s the orange that will get you moving. The combination of scents used in this soap is something to experience, as the initial smell is of the cloves and it ends with the orange.
As with all our soaps, this not only smells great, but it’s handmade using vegetable glycerin, so it’s pretty to look at and great for your skin. But remember, this is a seasonal soap, so it isn’t made all year round. We currently only make it from September to March, so don’t miss out on your chance to enjoy this popular glycerin soap!
Note: It is our Featured soap of the month in November. It is also featured in our Mini Holiday Gift Set, next to Myrrh. On the website, it can be found under our Holiday Soap Collection or Fruity Glycerin Soap Category. Buy yours today!
