HELP! Need a fragrance suggestions for CP soap

[Iseleigh]

@IrishLass

That is a lot of fragrance! I think you are an enabler!
FYI: Peak is out of stock with about 1/2 of your last list, including the Wild Mountain Honey.
I sent them an email about ETA for the Wild Mountain Honey.

@dibbles
Thanks for the Holiday fragrance recommendations. I added them to the list.
Speaking of Apple Jack & Peel, on an old thread, I spotted someone recommending Peak's for a good sticking FO. They didn't specify how long it lasted. The reviews for the WSP Apple Jack & Peel were mixed on the fragrance review chart. I wonder if WSP Apple Jack & Peel has been reformulated because the reviewers were using 6% FO, but the recommended max is now only 4.2%.

Let us know what they say the ETA on the honey fragrance is. I would like to get some as well.

Impressive indeed, and incredibly useful. I haven’t made it past the trial sizes of the dozen or so FOs I bought when I first started using them a couple of months ago. There’s a scent from MMS called Green Tea that I really like, but the oldest soap I have with that FO is still a baby. Does anyone know if that one is a sticker?

Yes. It is.

 

[Mobjack Bay]

Yes. It is.

 

[IrishLass]

Oh my gosh....I forgot all about MMS's Green Tea ......as the others have said- YES- it's a sticker.

It definitely sounds like you need to up your fragrance percentage!! Test batches are really the only way to go.... sometimes I need to add more than they suggest. Be sure to read the reviews, too!

Some of my favorites from BB for CP soap are Energy, Espresso, and Apple Sage. I USED to have a lot more, but they have been discontinuing my favorite fragrances with a vengeance.

I noticed this too. I guess they are making a shift toward current trends. Or something...

 

[math ace]

Some of my favorites from BB for CP soap are Energy, Espresso, and Apple Sage.

Let's TALK! I NEED to ask about BB's Espresso fragrance. How does this scent behave in CP?
I was afraid to use this one because I read on some of the other threads that coffee scents are notorious for morphing in CP.
Please, give me your opinion on BB's espresso fragrance behavior in CP.

Some of my favorites from BB for CP soap are Energy, Espresso, and Apple Sage. I USED to have a lot more, but they have been discontinuing my favorite fragrances with a vengeance.

AND do you have any idea how long these three fragrances last in CP soap?
I have the Espresso & Apple Sage on hand and would love to make a loaf of soap, instead of a bar, if they last at least 6 months in CP.

 

[dibbles]

I haven't used the other two, but Espresso is a great coffee scent - and it lasts. I think it behaved well - discolors to dark brown.

 

[math ace]

Ladies, I want to thank you for helping and enabling me!
I've placed an order with FB. I didn't even know about this company before I started this thread. Most of the fragrances were from the suggestions you provide.

I am getting some 1 ounce samples of the following fragrances:

Bob's Flower Shop FB Type Fragrance
JASMIN SHOWERS FRAGRANCE
Honeydew Melon Fragrance
KAI Type Fragrance
LIFE LESSONS FRAGRANCE
Mango Pineapple Type Fragrance
Pepperberry Wreath Fragrance
White Tea and Ginger Type Fragrance
Sweet Orange & Chili Pepper Type Fragrance
PRINCE SHOWERS FRAGRANCE
Leaves MW Type Fragrance
CITRUS TREE FRAGRANCE
CITRUS BATH FRAGRANCE
MOONLIGHT PATH FB TYPE FRAGRANCE
LEMON VERBENA Fragrance

Thanks so much for helping me find some fragrances with some serious staying power.

I'll have to test FB's Moonlight Path, Lemon Verbena, Mango Pineapple, Kai Type Fragrance, & Bob's Flower Shop fragrances, but at least I know the rest of the order should be solid.

 

[dibbles]

FB mango pineapple is good!

 

[math ace]

I get some of my soap making supplies from SoapGoods.com. Do you have any recommendations for scents from SoapGoods.com that will stick at least 6 months?

 

[cerelife]

I like BB's Espresso FO well enough that I now use it instead of my former favorite (Peak's Fresh Brewed Coffee).
They both behave well and have similar scent retention and discoloration to dark brown in my CP recipe using highly concentrated (triple brewed) coffee as part of my lye water. To my nose, Peak's FO has more of a mocha/chocolate scent in the cured soap while BB's FO is more coffee-ish. BUT keep in mind that I use ALL of Peak's FOs at 0.5 oz ppo, and BB's FOs at 1 oz ppo. Both FOs make very nice coffee soaps.
I'm a long-time fan of Peak and love many of their FOs, so here are some of my other recommendations that will retain their scent in CP for at least 6 months at 0.5 oz ppo:
Beach Daisies
Fresh Brewed Coffee
Love Spell
Macintosh Apple (the best pure juicy apple scent I've ever found for CP!)
Nag Champa (I think I actually love this one more that the WSP version and it cures to a lovely purple - so I do black swirls!)

Per FB Sweet Orange and Chili Pepper FO - it's very nice on it's own, but I like to amp up the 'Chili Pepper' aspect with this:
https://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/products/fragrance-formulator-hot-pepper-fragrance-oil.aspx
Or you could play up the 'Sweet Orange' aspect with either sweet orange or blood orange EOs.
This FO plays nice no matter what you do with it
I call my soap "Cajun Sunshine"

@cerelife

Thanks for the additional suggestions for Peak. I've added them to my list!

OBTW: Your website is very nice. Everything looks nice and neat. One of my pet peeves is a cluttered or micro-small font size. The "Home" information was comforting and welcoming. The pictures add a ton of interest as opposed to just listing the soap scents. TWO THUMBS UP for your web site.

@cerelife

As a new customer, PEAK holds more interest for me because they have the one ounce sample size.
All of WSP fragrances have a minimum 2 oz size. At Peak, I can try 2 to 3 times the number of scents for the same money that WSP will cost.

Speaking of cost, WSP just announced a 30% off sale starting tomorrow. So, it looks like I will be trying a few of their scents next. Based on your recommendation, I just removed the Nag Champa from my cart and will try it from Peak instead. PEAK seems to have more issues with items being out of stock! For instance, the Nag Champa is currently in-stock in the 1 ounce size but out of stock in the 4 ounce size. Peak's Wild Honey is opposite: Out of stock in the 1 ounce, but in-stock for the 4 ounce size.

 

[cerelife]

@math ace
Peak is a much smaller company than WSP, and they've been struggling for the past year to stay afloat. I'm guessing that's why they have 'out of stock' issues - trying to balance customer demand/overstock?

 

[math ace]

@cerelife

The list of recommendations for Peak is pretty good...

PEAK Fragrance - Bartlett Pear, Bayberry, Beach Daisies, Black Raspberry Vanilla, Fresh Brewed Coffee. Green Clover & Aloe, Downy Fresh, Jasmine, Love Spell, Macintosh Apple ( juicy apple scent ), Mandarin Plum, Mulberry, Nag Champa, Raspberry Truffle, Sunflower, Sweet Pea, Twilight Woods, Wild Mountain Honey,

( The following STICK, but don’t know how long: Cranberry Apple Marmalade, Apple Jack Peel, & Key Lime)

I think between Peak and Fragrance Buddy, I'll be able to meet most of my fragrance needs LOL.

While I am waiting for PEAK to get back with me, I decided to put an order together for NG. For some reason, this looks like a "fruit heavy" order!

This is what I have come up with:

NOT-Tested, Have you tried these NG scents?
Orange Blossom
NG Cucumber Melon Type
Sangria Punch
Mango Tangerine
Banana Foster

Already Tested & RECOMMENDED
Satsuma Fragrance
Pumpkin Apple Butter
Mango Sorbet
Lemon Sugar
Bite Me
Bayberry
Bamboo and White Grapefruit

If you have any experience with the non-tested NG Scents please share. I'll wait to see what advice you have before I hit the "check-out" button!

AND.... I just added the NG Lime Cilantro to my cart.

FB mango pineapple is good!

OMG... While my adult son was helping test 16 of the fragrances from FB, we BOTH noticed and were drooling over the Mango pineapple batter as we were pouring it in the mold. I so hope this holds for me because it is a KEEPER based on OOB and pour scent.

I did some more searching through various threads and have come up with the following candidates for RE long lasting scents.
Rustic Escentuals (RE) - LONG LASTING
Barbershop 1920's, Blue Skies, Coffee House,
Heavenly Honeysuckle, Hippie Chick, London Fog,
Lemon Slices, Lemon Verbena, Lemon Pound Cake,

Blackberry Sage, Black Berry Scone &
Cucumber Mint,

Rustic Escentuals yearly "1 ounce sample size" sale started today AND I'm Ready for it!

I made soap with NG Sweet Orange Chili Pepper in March. I always fragrance on the "light" end, and it is still fragrant. It is my absolute favorite fragrance so far, and I would like to make another batch with it, but I haven't found the box with my fragrances yet (I moved a month ago and I am not finished unpacking still LOL) I'm thinking the only way to guarantee I can find it again is to just go ahead and order another bottle.

Same - made it in March and am just using it. I used an ounce/lb. Just smelling the bar, the fragrance is more subtle than when I bath with it. It's light, though, but sooo nice!

 

[shunt2011]

NG scents that last for me at least 6 months but way longer in most cases:

Perfect Man
Cracklin Birch
Mango Sorbet
Loving Spell
Sweet Orang Chili Pepper
Passionate Kisses
Bubble Luscious
Bite Me
Hummingbird
Vanilla Champagne

Bamboo White Grapefruit faded before end of cure.

I use most fragrances at 1 oz. ppo Not Perfect Man though.
