I got my package today! Yay!!! There is nothing better than getting your S.O.A.P. Panel fragrances! Well, there is one thing… my BB order came in today too! It’s a BB product extravaganza! 
Awesome is it not?!?! Anyway let’s get into the stuff we really want to know about. The mysterious S.O.A.P. panel fragrances. They are labeled gardenia 1, gardenia 2, gardenia 3, mystery 4, mystery 5, mystery 6, mystery 7, mystery 8, mystery 9, and mystery 10.
So let’s talk initial thoughts on these fragrances… With a sniff out of the bottle this is what I smelled. The funny thing about fragrance oils is that they usually don’t smell the same once in a product. Different notes come out and others fade. Anyway this is what I smelled tonight:
Gardenia 1: Simple smell, very sweet notes
Gardenia 2: Sweeter than 1, more complex notes found here
Gardenia 3: Strong gardenia smell, maybe a hint of rose?
#4: Rose maybe a lily note in this one
#5: butterscotch, sweet finish
#6: Clean smell, fresh linen, cotton
#7: Very sweet, orange and mint
#8: Peppermint, eucalyptus
#9: cherry blossom, citrus note
#10: Lilac
Now I am not saying that is what I think these FOs are… but these are the notes and scents that come out to me right out of the bottle. This weekend will be a soap/bath bomb/linen spray intensive weekend and I can’t wait!
