I adore
flowers! Maybe, my obsession with perfumes has started from there. I don’t even
remember how many times I hold a flower so close to my nose for hours or How
many times I walked through a specific alley so I can feel that transparent
breath of the flower…
Honeysuckle
is one of my favorite’s blooms. The English word implies the sweet, honey like
scent and taste of the flower. This is true! My grand mother used to eat these
flowers as a child. The Greek word is Agioklima which means Holly flower but
the origin of the word is from the word Aigioklima which means the shrub that
is eaten ny the Goats! The same meaning of the word can be found in French language
“chevrefeuille” which also means the leaves
that are eaten by the goats! We are talking about Goats gourmet here!
The best
time to enjoy Honeysuckle’s scent is the evening. This climbing vine has
scented a lot of our summer nights out and ours best memories!
The natural
essential oil or absolute is not easy to find and if you do is very expensive. That’s
why, Perfumers usually use lab made accords or fragrances. In that way they
recreate almost exactly it’s delicate scent.

And A soap!
Because of my
love for Honeysuckle I decided to make a
Honeysuckle Soap! This is an ozonic kind of a Honeysuckle that I used. It has a
honey note too!
As my oils
I used: Olive oil, Coconut oil, Palm oil, Palm Kernel oil, Shea butter and
Castor oil
To color my
soap I used White and Yellow clays to represent the flower of the plant.
