Jo Malone Type Orange Blossom

[coco cooks]

My aunt asked if I could make her some bars scented with her favorite Jo Malone Fragrance , Orange Blossom. I found some dupes at Save on Scents and am in love. I used my new TBK Micas and shaped her soaps in a Uline Tube. I love how the scent comes through! I'm happy. Very Spring.
What I'm pissed about are the small air bubbles. I tapped the tube, but still bubbles. The funnel swirl was successful for half of the log, but became muted as my batter started thickening and I had to hurry to get the rest in through the funnel.Nevertheless with my stamps and highlights they all turned OK. I so love how the scent comes through.

Wow! I love it! Did you use a couple of cups to pour or is this ITP swirl?

Forgive me whats an ITP swirl? I just used a few measuring cups with the respective colors. Would the other method have prevented me from having the batter thicken?

you can't use perfumes, you can however use perfume TYPE FO's. like i love Kenneth Cole Black so i bought a KC-B type FO that is spot on.

I got the stamps in a dollar bin clearance at Michaels. a chain of craft stores in Chicago.
