As I made the new soap featuring lily, it came to me that I felt immersed in pure pleasure. I watched the large percentage of raw Shea butter melt into the oriental lily, rose petal, honey suckle and day lily flower infused olive oil and felt a rush of sublime satisfaction. Oh, that wasn't enough for my hedonistic lust! I had to add some walnut oil and a bit of coconut oil. Without it I feared the lather would be too small from all of the Shea butter! So, just a bit of coconut oil, but never enough to dry the skin and then an idea smote me during the cook-Make it even better! So Frankincense resin jumped in..I entertained my mind with the legends behind these ingredients, thinking of 'Pure as a lily' and other such things, but when I was blending the essences of the flowers, lily chief among them, it became apparent that I was intoxicated with a fragrance best described as rich and decadent. As chocolate is to my tongue, so this scent blend is to my nasal neurons! Glad it's 100% calorie free, otherwise I think I'd O.D.. Of course I had to wash my hands before the soap ever left the pan. When I relinquished this soap to the mold it was hard to resist hoarding a hunk for my own, so I didn't. I will be bathing shamelessly in this essence for weeks. With all of the delicious ingredients, what should I name it? I'm thinking of calling it Lily Flowers Frankincense. I spent my creativity in the making, so the name is just straight forward.
