Heres the Soap I made with Twighlight woods, the purple stayed true & the turquois turned kinda limey green.... I did use some olive oil I think maybe thats why? rather than the fragrance?
I LOVE Twilight Woods from peak !

Mine totally turned very very dark. I HPed but I think you will find the same will happ to CP. Let me know what happens. I hope yours doesnt I did 1oz ppo - VERY BEAUTIFUL soap though
 
Thanks for the update, cwarren! I would have tried a small amount in part of my next batch to keep it white. I'm glad I waited, but I am very sorry about your soap. I assume dirty pink is not really working for you.

I have found this spreadsheet so helpful! Is it possible for it to be made a sticky?

Great effect on your soap, 2scents. I love it. I really hope it doesn't turn colors on you!
 
Wow I liked the French Vanilla Amber so much I couldn't stand to thow away the bottles afterwards. So I put hot water in each of them to mix with whatever oil was left, and use a little splash of it for perfume. It isn't very strong... more like a body spray type strength, but I love it :)
 
my 2 cents, that is gorgeous. I didnt care for peaks twilight woods, but I dont like b& b works either. I put it in lotion, way too strong.

Is that spreadsheet posted anywhere else? what page is it on again?
 
Has this spreadsheet been made into a sticky yet? What a fantastic resource! I just added two entries. This is so efficient. I love the fragrance oil forum but it is very time consuming to use. This is great! Thanks Kelley and Nancy.
 
I copied the address to the spreadsheet to my favorites bar on my computer. That way I can access it anytime and don't have to find the right page on that thread. I hope it will be made into a sticky; I've used it a number of times and find it a great resource.
 
I just want to thank you guys for the spreadsheet. I just ordered a bunch of FO's yesterday & most of them were because of the good reviews on the spreadsheet.
 
I know this is an old thread, but as was mentioned, whoever did the spreadsheet - thank you for sharing... I still have to go through all of my old notes to see which of Peaks scents I've soaped and which ones I still want/need too...
Another thing is Peaks oils, customer service and everything else about them are phenominal!!
Since I am local to them, I've had the pleasure to meet Alan and Nachelle and (at the time) their son... (they may have more children now, not sure) They are very pleasant and helpful people... Very knowledgeable and always willing to help...
Peaks very soon after they opened became one of my favorite suppliers!!
 
Wow, that spreadsheet is awesome. Peak has some super awesome scents. This spreadsheet will be a wonderful tool to use when deciding what to order in the future. Thanks so much for sharing.

Oh gosh, are you ever lucky! Can you buy from the door? do they retail?

Umm, well, I've been out of doing stuff for a little over 2 years, but at that time, no they didn't retail, but I could pick up and save on shipping and usually while I was there and waiting for them to load the car or truck or whatever I could smell new scents, and usally talk to Alan or Nachelle about new technique's or whatever... but towards the end of me going there, Alan and Nachelle were rarely there, so I don't know how much they actually get in there anymore...
 
Getting this sampler pack was the first time I've used Peak and clearly others have used them regularly, but I am more impressed with BB, NG, Camden Grey. I've had at least two scents disappear completely within a month, a few others end up smelling more chemical than anything and now I just had one rice. Have the people who use them regularly use just a few of their scents consistently or have they had good experiences with everything they get? I'm being very consistent with my methods and with my ppo of FOs so I can compare, but overall I've had more inconsistency with Peak than some of the other places I've used. What have other people found?

I used to use a LOT of their fo's when I was soaping and making candles regularly and never really had any problems with any of their scents the way you have... I did have some florals rice on me, but I soap hot, so that's to be expected if I don't cool it down to do the florals.
In fact I have a few soaps left from when I was soaping (2 years ago) with some of their scents and they still have a great consistent scent...
Blackberry sage is one of them... The blackberry scent is pretty faint, but the sage scent still comes through loud and clear...
I wonder why you have had those problems? - Being out of it so long, I can't even begin to troubleshoot. I'm barely through half of my notes from back then and am feeling a little overwhelmed - and probably will until I get back into the thick of it...
 
THanks for the feedback. I don't know what I might be doing wrong- maybe it's just those fragrances or maybe it a technique issue on my part. I'll go back through and see if I can find something in my notes that would be a red flag for a problem.
 
I can't figure out how to name a new page...anyone can help? I added a Sweetcakes page, it's page 14...oh yeah...anyone want to buy some of the peak samples? Some of them gave me a major headache.
