[Ag-eq] wanting input

I’ve started making homemade soaps, some with goat milk and some without.  I
make some bars and a shower jell.  I’m also making horse and dog shampoos.

I’m very happy with the goat milk rose and the goat milk lavender soap; these
come in a bar.  Right now the shower jell is unscented.  I would like to add
sent, but would like some suggestions.  What type of scents do you all like?

Also what would be a good sent for men?

Do you think people will pay more for homemade products, that have no
preservatives or dye?

I can’t sell any of the soap products very cheaply; some of the oils and scents
are quite expensive.  The dog and horse shampoos cost the most to make; they
contain several essential oils.

I would appreciate any name suggestions for the dog and horse shampoos.

I’ve been making homemade, organic pet treats for over a year now.  A couple of
local stores sell them for me.  I also take them to different festivals and
horse events.  All of the treats can be used for both horses and dogs.  I’ve
tested them on my dogs, goats and horses.  I also tested them on my friends
animals.  So far people seem to really like them and are always asking me to
make more.

There are 3 different treats, which are call pet desserts.  There is the Peanut
butter Crunch Bar, Apple Cinnamon Danish and Oatmeal Carrot Cake.  The bags
have a label on the front that say Jellybean Farm and the name of the treat. 
There is another label on the back with a list of ingredients.

I plan on using the Jellybean Farm label on the soaps too.  It has a picture of
a little, fat goat with long curved horns.  It is blue and gold and rather
fanciful.  Now I just need some fun names for the soaps and shampoos.
I would appreciate any suggestions and ideas.

Thanks.
