UPDATE - French Field Big Block Kitchen Soap

In my previous post I talked about the dilemma I faced trying to remake my most popular Big Block Kitchen Soap scent - French Field. I had no idea if its popularity stemmed from people really liking the scent, or if they the light green color worked with their decor. It could also stem from similarities to other soaps that steered them toward that particular block. 
I included a questionnaire that I hoped would give me definitive direction. The responses surprised me.! The overwhelming winner was to scrap the old blend and come up with something entirely new.
​So, I went back to the drawing board and worked on a new blend. AT one point I sniffed the blend and thought "hmmm.... that smells familiar". I pulled out the recipe for French Breeze and realized I had practically duplicated it. That wouldn't work!

So i decided to "ignore" what everyone told me to do and I decided to work with the existing blend, omitting the Rosewood essential oil, and rebalancing it. Truth be told, it is essentially like creating something new, since it does not smell the same, but I think it is close enough for the people that liked the scent. 
Since I still have some original French Field soap shreds available for 2 batches of soap, I have incorporated those into the two transitional batches I have made. The "raw" soap is scented with the new blend and the shreds are still scented using the old blend.
The look will be exactly the same - light green with flecks of shredded soap. After these transitional soaps have sold, the new batches will be completely "new". 
To hopefully help with ordering clarity, I am labeling the two transitional batches as French Field Transitional. The new batches are made and will be ready to ship September 20, 2019. I am making them available for preorder today.
