I tried the Lemon Squares years ago when I first started soaping and I remember liking it, but I can't remember how long it stuck around for. I don't like bakery scents so I did not really give it much thought. Sorry, I was not much help.

I did the exact thing to my husband. I had a mug out when soaping and put it in the cabinet. My husband took it out about 20 minutes later and got the burning on his lip. He comes downstairs saying his lip burns and there is a funny taste in the cup. Ooops! :wtf:

Has anyone bought from this company before? I received an email this morning from the Handcrafted Soap & Cosmetic Guild with vendor specials and Paris Fragrances was mentioned. I can get a free FO if I sign up on their website, but they have no testing info on their site and they are not...

Thanks for the heads up Carolyn, I will need to try that. Since it's oil based I never thought to mix in glycerin. I mix mine with a stick blender AND the food processor and this gets all the lumps out, but it's a pain.

WSP has a nice coral color, I believe it's a neon. I'm not at home now, but if you pm me I can send you some. I have a large container. I think it called coral and cocktails. I love coral!

My 80 year old father told me my soap burned his eyes, but his Dove doesn't really burn them so he won't use my soap. I never thought anyone would be silly enough to think that soap won't burn their eyes, it's soap! I guess I should have reminded him not to eat it too. Can't please everyone.

Carolyn - I still have it. I'll give it to you when I see you. Maybe you can smell the avocado in it. I love the thought of an avocado smelling soap.

I soaped that one too. I hate rose so I did not like it, but it stuck if that helps at all. I think another rose lover got a sample and liked it.

The only one on your list I have tried a sample of is the Avocado Mint II. My notes say it just smelled like mint, no avocado.

I think sweetcakes version smells similar.

Great! I'm glad I could help! I think Peak does florals well.

Aline, I have Pikaki Lani and Tiare Blossom. Neither stuck very well for me in soap, so I was not thrilled with them. The scents are very similar and just ok, but i don't know what the flowers smell like. I have Kauai Ginger Blossom too, but it smells like Hibiscus to me and I was not...

I must say, SC's fragrances smell great OOB, but I have had better success in CP with other suppliers. Many of their fragrances seize or rice very badly. Econocuke was mentioned. Sorry I can't find my notes, but can tell you what I thought of some of them. Special edition Vanilla, did...

Irishlass - I would like to try your method, but I never know how long to hand stir. I get the feeling if the batters starts getting thick from hand stirring it may be from false trace from the hard oils are getting cold. I have tried stick blending for just a few seconds and then trying to...

I have tried both Fresh Coffee and Hazelnut Coffee from Candlescience. They both morphed to something not appealing in CP. I really liked the Hazelnut Coffee in M&P though, but I think coffee fragrances morph in CP. I also tried Fresh Brewed Coffee from NG, same thing. Good luck.

Honey Bee and Big Sur stick very well. Tassie Lavender does as well, but I don't care for it.

Some reviews on The Soap Scent Review Board says it discolors to mauve/mocha mauve and another says tan. Hope this helps.

That would be great! I love the idea of getting rid of stuff I can't bring myself to toss. I would also be willing to bring some goodies for others, but it would be great to just meet other soapers and talk about our experiences.

I would love to meet other soapers in Los Angeles! Count me in if anyone wants to meet up. Ditto on the millions of FO samples!

lsg - Did you mean to say you would NOT go over the maximum use for the FO? shunt2011 - Yes, this is similar to what I was thinking. I would not exceed 5% in the entire batch, just distribute it differently. Thanks for the reply.
