Fragrance Buddy- anything I just *have* to get?

I unmolded the next series of scents that I used to make individual soaps in cavity molds. I didn’t have any issues with them at 4%. White Tea & Ginger is similar to the FO by the same name that I’ve been buying from BB. I may like this one a little better. Ginger Peach is a bit weak at 4%. Is that a general tendency with peach scents? I think I like OT’s Peche de Vigne better, but it is also a weaker than average FO. My favorite of this group is Pear Champagne. I hope it sticks.

@Mobjack Bay white tea and ginger is one of my favorites. It is so easy to soap and I think it slows trace. It always ashes, so I tried it in a batch with 40% lye concentration and there were no issues.

Great news about the no ash issues with the WT&G at 40% lye concentration, plus, any FO that slows trace is a keeper IMHO.

Well, I meant no acceleration issues But also no ash.

FB Greek Island reminds me of BB’s Cocoa Butter Cashmere, which I like. I didn’t have any issues with acceleration for a small test loaf, but it discolored quickly to a very dark brown.

Wow. That is a dramatic change.

Happiness is also particularly nice.

I finally had a chance to try this. It behaved perfectly at 33% lye concentration - may have even slowed trace. I have no reservations about using it at a much higher lye concentration next time. It smells nice - now to wait to see if it fades or hangs around.
