NG Crackin' Birch

NG Cracklin' Birch usage %'s?

On the strength of positive comments, I bought Natures Garden's Cracklin' Birch FO. But, whoo doggie, is it strong!

I tried it at 2% in a test batch of emulsified scrub and it was hours before the scent was light enough to be reasonably pleasant. Maybe it's just my nose, I'll admit, but I thought I'd ask for advice before I use it again.

What % do y'all use this in soap? In other B&B products like my scrub?

I used it at 3% in some MP and it isn't too strong. I usually only use 1% FO/EO in my BB products. I haven't tried Crackling Birch in anything other than soap yet, though.

I'm definitely going to drop it down to 1% in non-soap stuff! I tried the scrub again today and it's still pretty pungent right after use. But the scent is very nice after a couple of hours. I just need to find the sweet spot for this FO.
