NG? How to tell what fragrances are soap-safe?

[FloridaSoaper]

Checking out NG right now - and looking for their sample pack which I can't find...but anyways, wondering how to tell between the candle and soap-safe fo's? Any help would be great! I must be having a brain-fart for sure!

They don't have sample packs, but offer a discount per 1oz bottle when you order at least ten. You can order more than one of each fo. They provide info on how much fo to use depending on your product. Just scroll down a bit when you open a specific fo page.

Thank you Thank you! Maybe I was confusing the sampler with Peak. Anyways, never tried NG before, my 1st order...would you mind telling me some good ones to try? Oh, and one more quick Q for you Nancy, what's a good usage rate for the NG fo's, is .5 ppo a good start?

I like a strong scent so I use 1 oz per pound of oils, but I'm sure you could do .7 oz ppo just fine.

I've used and liked many of their fo. Some favorites are:

Lime cilantro
Sweet orange & chili pepper
Butt naked (discolors)
Bite me (some acceleration)
Lemon sugar
Orange blossom (very very strong could use less than normal)
acai berry
Angel (haven't soaped yet,but is great in lotion and perfume)

Maybe if you could tell us what types of fo you like, we could help you narrow your choices down.

So far I've only bought like 4 diff. fo's. So just starting to dabble in them. I bought the honey almond from MMS, used about .7ppo and don't like the smell in the finished hp soap. Have Bella from MMS and love it! Everyone I know likes that one the best. And the other one came from a local place and I don't like it much, it's supposed to be a romantic fragrance, but no one likes it. To be honest I'm not sure what I like yet. I'm trying to find a good almond or almond/honey smell, or OMH smell, something along those lines. I think I like some florals, and spicy smells are good too. I like some sweet fragrances, but since I'm off sugar, lol, not such a good idea. Ummm....willing to try a BUNCH of new stuff though!

I've never tried the OMH or the Almond from NG so I can't comment on those. I have heard good things about NG's Lilac, but I've never tried it. I forgot to mention that the Australian Bamboo Grass FO is very nice in CP. It's a clean, unisex, soap type scent.

I LOVE NG's fo's. I get most of mine from them. Here are some of my fav's:
Alyssum - a fantastic floral, and I'm not a floral fan
Aqua Di Gio - Smells just like the real thing!
Baby Graceful Type - also smells like the real thing. A very PRETTY fragrance (my "signature" scent.. I use this in EVERYTHING)
Black Raspberry Vanilla
Clean Breeze Type - nice "clean laundry" scent
Clean Type - a nice "clean" scent
Coconut Lime Verbena
Country Clothesline - smells like Downy April Fresh
Dude - great male scent
Fresh Pear
Green Amber
Green Irish Tweed Type - Think Irish Spring
Island Fresh Type - another good laundry scent.. fab linen spray
Jasmine
Orange Cream Cupcake - smells like the Hempz Orange one
Pineapple Orchid

These are just my fav's from them. I don't htink you'll be disappointed in much you get from there!
