JudyMoody lots of fruity samples there :0) I am smiling because that is what I have been drawn to over the last few weeks, I have done my third 'balls' soap with lime fragrance and now on the hunt for more fruity fragrances to add :0) Peak dont do international so looking more at Bramble berry and Natures Garden

I've used all of those fragrances before - and I like them all.

Has anyone tried their Twilight Woods? I love the B&BW lotion in that scent and was wondering if this compares?
TIA

 

[PrairieCraft]

I like Peaks version of Twilight Woods better than BBW. It's lovely but a little different. It has been my favorite for a while now and all of my guinea pigs like it.

 

[NancyRogers]

I need more FOs like a hole in the head, but couldn't resist this sale. I got two of each:

#1 Cabernet Grape
#2 Casaba Mist
#3 Coconut Milk
#4 Cranberry Citrus
#5 Lemon Pound Cake
#6 Mango Papaya
#7 Mountain Lake
#8 Ocean
#9 Wild Berry Musk
#10 Sweet Pea

I'll have plenty of stuff to pick for teacher's gifts at the end of the year.

My daughter says the Twilight Woods is very similiar to BBW. I personally don't like it at all nor the Brown Sugar Fig and don't get the Strawberry Rhubarb (which was free). The Nag Champa is very nice and light, the Wild Mountain Honey is wonderful, the Apple Blossom I like and I'm trying to figure out what I can mix it with. The Lemon Pound Cake is awesome, makes a fantastic soap with poppy seeds but does discolor so get some Vanilla Stabilizer, actually so does the honey so you'll need it if you want to do any swirling or color.
I did the Black Canyon in a shaving soap...very, very nice for a man's scent..I can see why everyone loves it. The Cranberry Marmalade will be a fantastic scent for fall and my daughter fell in love with the Juniper Breeze, I think she says it smells just like the BBW to her. The Lime Verbena is more limey than some other brands, guess it depends on whether you want more lime or verbena fragrance. Their Sunflower is nice but accelerates something terrible. Plumeria is nice, Gardenia I like, alot of the family likes the Black Raspberry Vanilla, to me it's ok.
It's absolutely the best time to try some new fragrances but be careful, if you buy 2 or 3 of one and don't like it, you're stuck trying to get rid of them.
So, keep me in mind when you get one you don't like, maybe we can trade.

Thanks - I've actually tried almost every single one of their fragrances with the exception of about 5 of them, and Twilight Woods was one I haven't.
Since I live within 10-15 miles of them, it's pretty easy to just order and pick up and it's not necessarily a good thing! (meaning I go overboard since I don't have to pay shipping!) LOL Of course I haven't done that in about 2 years, and I think they have moved again since last I was there, so I'll have to figure out where they are now! LOL
You didn't like the strawberry-rhubarb? I really liked it.
But I've liked just about everything I've tried from them! LOL

Some of the ones I haven't tried are -
TW
Coconut Lime Verbena (and yeah, I do like limey so that's okay)
Grapefruit
Iced Lemon Danish
Juicy Pineapple
Orange Chiffon Cake

Those are the only ones I could find that I wanted to try that I hadn't for the sampler sale...
I'm sure I'll find some more, but for now, that's all I could find. LOL

The strawberry rhubarb has a plastic fakey smell to it in my soap. Really yucky.

That iced lemon danish sounds wonderful, has anyone else tried it? I wonder if that would work for Nancy and her lemon sugar?

I went to BBW today and smelled their Twighlight Woods...doesn't smell like the Peak one, I still didn't really like it but it didn't give me an instant migraine.

I decided to try the lemon pound cake. I'll use a vanilla stabilizer to keep it from browning. Fingers crossed.

 

[PrairieCraft]

How does the vanilla stabilizer work? Do you add it to the FO before putting it in the oils or directly to the oils? I thought I read somewhere that it is only good for MP. I have some but haven't tried it yet because I've been confused about what to do with it. I read a thread somewhere about it turning the soap yellow or something....?

Sorry for jumping in here with an off the topic of peak question. Can't help meself

Soap cool and you shouldn't have too many problems either. I did the LPC in a 100% GM soap and it barely tanned on me, BUT if I remember correctly (and would have to find the correct notes to verify) I think after about 6 months you could barely smell it... And more of the cake scent came through for me on this one than the lemon...

Oh, I see. I never soaped it. That one was just a sample size so I put it in a candle and really liked it.

If anyone soaps the Coconut Milk, could you please post your results?

 

[PrairieCraft]

I soaped coconut milk a few months back, funky chemical smell for the first week or two, faded to nothing, came back eventually to a very very faint straight coconut. Smells great OOB. It stayed really light. I want to try it again because I only used .8 oz ppo so maybe going 1 oz ppo would make a difference. Can you go over 1 oz ppo??

I mean light in color. The other coconut FO I tried from CS discolored to light tan and doesn't smell at all even at 1 oz ppo. I have a coconut from DS to try but it is dark brown in the bottle so I'm pretty sure it will discolor and I want my 100% CO soap to be as close to white as possible.

If anyone can recommend a coconut FO that smells good and stays light in CP soap PLEASE let us know.

Thank you. I have been looking for a straight coconut for a long time. The most I've used in a FO was 1 oz. PPO.

I have the vanilla stabilizer from Wholesale Supplies Plus, they have one for CP and one for lotions and body products. If your fragrance has alot of vanilla, you do 1 to 1 ratio. I used it for the Wild Mountain Honey. I used 1 ounce of fragrance oil and mixed it with 1 oz of the vanillla stabilizer. Let is sit for at least 2 minutes. I stirred it a couple of times.
What would have been brown soap became light yellow. I had only a tiny bit of titanium left or I would have used more. It made my pink an orange color too...with titanium I would have had a lighter tan and the pink would have stayed pink. I highly recommend it. If you fragrance has a small amount of vanilla, then use a 1 to 2 ratio. 1 oz of fragrance oil to 1/2 oz of stabilizer.
