De-scenting a Trumpers soap tub

Is it possible to de-scent a Trumpers soap tub? I have a rose tub but don't want to have rose in it, maybe violet instead. I've rinsed it a few times, but it's still a little rosy.

The way scent is collected is by using oil. The strong scent moves to the oil w/o scent.

I can't tell you if that's safe to do with what you have. You're on your own there.

Do you mean wipe tha cavity (or maybe fill it) with some sort of oil? If so, what oil do you suggest?

Well, I don't know. I'd do some research to find how perfumers collect flower scent and see if their techniques can be modified to your bowl.

Or maybe fill it with Sodium Bicarbonate and let it sit for a month or so. Mixing it periodically to get fresh chemical next to the wood.

Dave, I put a Violets puck in a Rose bowl that I had simply cleaned with water. The scent of the new soap displaced the old after a very short while. Of course, both fragrances are compatible and very nice, so it wouldn't matter even if there were some slight blending.
