Nag Champa FO

[Heika]

After avoiding this scent for as long as I could, I am finally caving to the many requests I have gotten for it. Any suggestions on a good one with a low vanillin content? Oh, and phthalate free.

https://www.naturesgardencandles.com/nag-champa-fragrance-oil here you go, I haven't tried it out, but its a very good company, and I've had other fragrances from them, and it fits your criteria

I am not a huge fan of WSP either, but there are some things that I find at a better price there than anywhere else. Thank you for the recommendation, I will pick up a bottle. And, lock the resulting soap in the garage, where I don't have to smell it. It can take the spot right next to the pine tar soap.

aw man you gotta like nag champa

No. I refuse! :sick:

I have always remained really vague about whether I will make it or not. One customer has been pestering me for a while about it in particular. And, one of the shops in town asked me about some a few days ago, too. So.. ugh.

I agree with Carolyn, WSP has the BEST nag champa!

I like brambleberry's

 

[cmzaha]

Brambleberry's always turned a funky pinkish color which I hated and was not to crazy about their Nag. Not that is was bad but not good enough to put up with the funky color.

This thread hits home for me! Even though Nag Champa is popular my husband refuses to sell it, he can't stand it.

Pure Fragrance Oils has an awesome Nag Champa. I think it's better than Brambleberry's - not sure how it stacks up against WSP but I highly recommend it!

Hi dixie
I love OMH from Pure Fragrance oils and would like to know before I order if there are any other oils that you may have tried from this company? I don’t see many post about them.

 

[SoaperForLife]

I get my OMH from Sweet Cakes but might have to try a sample from Pure Fragrance Oils - thanks! Some others that I use and highly recommend are Sunwashed Linen, Stress Relief and Dragon's Blood. Stress Relief is a bit finicky so I advise soaping at low temps, don't discount your water AND make sure to add a little bit of your warmed oil to the fo before adding it to your soap batter, otherwise it will rice on you.

I made Nag Champa from WSSP and it gave me a funky brown. I put in other colors with it and they looked funky too. I loved the smell but didn't not sell it. Maybe next time I'll use darker colors.

Thanks for the tip! Didn’t know about that one ;-)

WSP's Nag Champa is the only Nag I use and is the best I have found. It soaps well, discolors to a light to med brn which is workable with bright colors. Pure Fragrance Oils Dragon Blood is the closest there is to mine, but it discolors to a very dark brown. Nag and DB are fantastic mixed, which I found out after a member here mentioned using them mixed mix. Before using either fragrance pour off what you want for colors before adding the fragrances

Entries from the SMF Fragrance Oil Review. If you see a simple "yes/no" answer, the first is whether the FO accelerates and the second is whether it discolors.

Dead on to the incense. I like Nag Champas, have tried a lot of them, and this is my favorite. Great scent, sticks like glue. Recent reviews seen elsewhere say that it recent batches are not sticking as well though (recipe reformulation?) Hope this is not true. CP, MP

0.8 oz ppo (5%)
Accel: no
Disc: Unknown, colored batter
Used .8 ppo. Had plenty of time for a nine bar peacock (with the entire slab being poured via squirt bottles). I don't have another supplier's Nag to compare it to, but it smells like just like dusty incense from a headshop. Not that that is a bad thing... I'm not IN LOVE with it, but all my kids and their boyfriends claimed bars as soon as they came out of the mold. Very surprising since "hippyish" is not what they normally go for CP

I third WSP Nag Champa. I did have something weird happen with my batches, trying to get around the discoloring I used Vanilla Stabilizer. The first batch I used WSP CP stabilizer, and it turned dark dark brown and is weeping a brown liquid. I made a second batch with BCN's CP stabilizer, same dang thing happened. My next batch I will go back to adding TD to my lye water, I use a bright teal, yellow, orange and brown in my design, with the end result only a light "dusting" of discoloration (not sure how to describe it, but the colors stay intact with a muted effect). Moral of the story: don't use VS with WSP Nag Champa.
