Frankincense and Sandalwood

[CLMP]

Well my white sandalwood powder just came in so I'm going to start planning out how I will make my soap. I'm not sure if it will scent my soap it doesn't smell that strong to me and I'm not sure I like the scent I find it smells fuzzy. But I'm going to try it.

Me too. Was thinking about buying the white sandalwood powder. Fingers crossed that it works for you @CLMP!

@CLMP , I bought a Sandalwood & Sage FO by MYOB through WSP in July. It's no longer available. I finally had a chance to try it out (I made a batch of 10 different FO samples on 12/31.) I really love this scent. Very unisex (to me), not at all sweet, but also no "after shave" quality to it. It has no vanilla so I was puzzled when I came out a beautiful golden mahagony color. I knew nothing of Sandalwood except that it is a popular incense. From this thread, I deduce that Sandalwood will discolor.

I don't know why I bothered buying brown micas. There are so many FO's that discolor to really nice shades of tan through brown.

Im going to try a batch with just white sandalwood to see if any scent comes through I'm a little busy the next few days but as soon as I get a chance I'll make the soap I'll let you know how it goes.

The sandalwood FO I bought all so smells unisex. At first I wasn't sure about the scent but now I love it it mixes and blends well with everything I've been making perfumes with it I can't wait to make soap with it.
