Sarva Pumpkin Pie soap, a 2008 Holiday Limited Edition. Click photo for enlarged view.
Sarva’s new Pumpkin Pie soap turned out great, don’t you think?
I want to allow the essential oil blend a little time to see how it matures, but it seems great so far! So let’s give it about six weeks to cure, and this newest arrival will be ready to sell in October for $6.95 per 5-ounce bar as a Limited Edition at Sarva Natural Artisan Soaps. I’ll probably package them in a special gift box to protect the delicate detailing.

Remember: This will not smell exactly like pumpkin pie. I feel it’s important to clarify for those who might be searching for an exact copy, which is typically achieved through a synthetic fragrance. I use essential oils instead of fragrance oils, so my creations are often “interpretations” rather than duplicates of the real thing. I take great pleasure in using the materials Mother Earth gives to us, and my hope is that what I do stands on its own as a lovely little impermanent work of art!
What creativity! And to use Essential Oils to “interpret” pumpkin pie… wonderful!
Thank you! Means a lot coming from a fellow soapmaker! I must admit, it smells pretty darned good
