Mango Mimosa. First thought – go! For me, tropical drink. The kind in the fancy glasses only ever used by hotel resorts and the try hards who think they’re cool having them at home. There likely to be an umbrella and I wouldn’t blink if there was salt around the rim. Definitely vodka involved.

Brown is not a first thought association. Yellow, yes. Orange, totally. Pink, quite possibly. But brown? Um, no.

Then again, I do like to be different.

That’s my Hot Process Mango Mimosa batch. Now, the first test with this scent over heated into a one-eyed cyclops from hell if you remember. Hense the test for Hot Process. It came out ok originally – just look at the post before this to see the colour it was when I cut it.

But like a real mango (and what ever a Mimosa is) left on my kitchen bench, the longer this batch sat there, the browner and browner it turned. It spoiled! It bruised? It’s…. FUGLY!

Smells ok, the scent stuck due to no overheating, but really, is this a soap that just makes you itch to jump in the shower and start lathering up with??
