What scent did you get from NSS?

Pretty spot on, going by Sharon's description: http://www.nannyssillysoap.com/ps/index.php?id_product=476&controller=product&id_lang=1

Definitely a clean black pepper scent that is noticeable, which I particularly enjoy.

Apologies for not thinking of/remembering it sooner, but better late than never. This might suit you, Nishy. I think it scrummy!

Cedar & Black Pepper?

... no idea if it's any good, mind.

Oh! it's very good! One of those soaps you know is going to be good from the moment your brush tips touch it. It's what MT call a paste. I used a VS 24mm so not a lot of backbone but it loaded easily and exploded into a creamy lather. Fortunately, I took two for the lads - the other is Cedar and Something - so I'm pleased about that.

Don't know that it has enough black pepper for you, @Nishy, as it is very light on scent. A very pleasant scent, full of profiles and smells, complex in a bilateral sort of way.

Good stuff!

Thank you for the advice gents I will look into it. Carl the reviews of the bigelow seem to concur that very little black pepper is recognised.

I am toying with collecting my own black pepper distillate and applying it to a soluble base.

The general concencus by perfumers and soap makers seems to be that black pepper must be subtle. Are you gonna make a Pepper Bomb?

Yep it is an ingredient that can cause heat irritation. I will be taking no safety precautions as its for personal use. I am making 2 batches. One with just whole black and green peppercorns and another with jasmine, cucumber and black pepper.
