I ended up using a blend of fragrances for the chocolate stout beer soap - WSP Oatmeal Stout, BB Pomegranate and Black Currant and BB Bergamot Black Tea. The Oatmeal Stout smelled a bit too much like oatmeal cookie relative to what I was imagining. The soap recipe I used is rich in unrefined Shea, which adds some earthiness, and I also sprinkled cocoa powder on the top. The FO combo may sound strange, but I’m really liking it. With my very limited fragrance vocabulary, I would characterize it as reminiscent of brewing, baking, tea, dark fruit, dark chocolate and earth.
And, yes, I did experience some acceleration, but I had also added some ground up oatmeal, which I think could have been a contributing factor.
