    Your experiences trying FO's that smell awful OOB?

    I did smell them when they arrived and then again a couple of days later to show my boyfriend. I think my sense of smell is pretty accurate too, it's the reason I'm so picky with food (lol). So, I think will try these in single soaps since it's my first experience with them. If you don't mind my...

    Your experiences trying FO's that smell awful OOB?

    Is it prudent, then, to try the fragrance at a less potent percentage, or just stick to the recommended one in WSP's fragrance calculator?

    Your experiences trying FO's that smell awful OOB?

    Thank you for the suggestion. I'm definitely gonna try it in a very small batch, so I may split it and add something citrusy to part of the batch. 👀 Hopefully once they're in soaps they won't be so bad, it would be a shame for them to go to waste, but I definitely felt really alarmed when I...

    Oh good!! I told my boyfriend about this comment and he is very intrigued to see how it will come out in soap now. Out of curiosity, is there anything specific you recommend blending it with?

    Best colorants for CP soap?

    I feel like I know them all now! I like your idea for making soaps dedicated to each of them, it sounds like you love them very much. I can relate to your enthusiasm about them, as I feel the same about my dog & cats. It's so funny seeing their personalities blossom. I'd love to see Harrison on...

    Recipe help - making my first batch larger than 1lb.

    That's a great suggestion to "size down" the mold. The itch I have is more to have a different shape/size of soap than to make a huge batch, but I also kinda wanted to put the whole 2 oz. of FO to use since I really like the scent. >.< Not sure what I'll do yet. Drop the OO entirely, or reduce...

    Recipe help - making my first batch larger than 1lb.

    Not the same thing, but I did make a brine soap bar the last time I soaped and it feels so velvety to the touch, which is lovely! I am a little intimidated by making a salt bar, but I do want to try it eventually.. the brine bar was me dipping my toe in the pool first, haha. Ty!

    Recipe help - making my first batch larger than 1lb.

    @Obsidian @AliOop Ty for the feedback. I may wait until the first ones reach their 6 week cure so I can decide on a recipe to use. I figured it might be too much to handle, it is a lot of firsts. :/ For the measurements, I checked the Q&A about the product, someone said the mold capacity is...

    Recipe help - making my first batch larger than 1lb.

    Hi all, This weekend I would like to attempt making my first batch larger than 1 lb. I am using the Crafter's Choice wood & silicone mold that hold about a 55 oz. batch. I actually have yet to use any of my first several batches, as they are still curing, but I wanted to branch out. I am also...

    Thank you so much! I'm going to try this out. :)

    Your experiences trying FO's that smell awful OOB?

    Oh, I just came straight here to ask, I will look for it now! The scents are both from WSP: Farmer's Market Baby Bibb and Lavender Vanilla. The reviews for FMBB are generally positive, but no one mentioned the OOB smell, which I would've expected to come across. Seasoned soapers are probably...

    Your experiences trying FO's that smell awful OOB?

    Yeah, I got a headache after smelling these. One of them only has one review, but I was curious about the scent, and the other has so many good reviews so I'm hopeful it'll change, but, oh boy, I just could not picture myself pouring this into a batch once I smelled it, haha.

    Your experiences trying FO's that smell awful OOB?

    I think I will try these at smaller percentages, thanks for the tip! And that's funny that some of them have a disappearing act. xD Ok, this is reassuring to hear. Thank you!

    Your experiences trying FO's that smell awful OOB?

    Hi all! So, I just received an order with a handful of fragrance oils and I'm a bit disappointed with how some of them smell. I'm reluctant to try them. I've read reviews (for other FO's) that have noted a pleasant change the maker's opinion of the FO once the soap is in the curing process, so I...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I thought of this thread yesterday. I'm a new soaper, so I've been reading/doing research during the week, and have been "practicing" with a small batch every weekend for the last month. This weekend was the first week I didn't soap, but I realized I DID do a soapy thing--I set up and organized...

    Earl Gray Cubes

    I think the leaves look like a really nice accent on top of the soaps! And the shape is nice too. :)
