scents all gone

[Candle Guy]

I have been using 6% for all of my fragrances that allow it. I have only used a couple of my soaps because well I just started soap making lol. My soap smells great in the shower but after I get out I can barely smell it on my skin. Is this normal? Have you found that customers want a scent that sticks to them after the shower or the scent to be strong before they purchase it?

Also I am not planning on selling anytime soon. I just always make products with the potential of selling in the future in mind. I feel like by doing this, it will push me to make the best bar of soap that I can.

This is an old thread...
But personally I would not expect soap scent to stick on my skin, and in fact it would likely bother me. Use a body spray or perfume if you want lasting scent.
I also don't like soap that has that "punch in your nose" strong smell.

As stated most fragrances won’t stick to the skin long term. However, some scents will stick for awhile. Nature’s Garden Perfect Man and Cracklin Birch leave a nice scent to the skin. Perfect Man don’t use more than 3-4%. It’s potent.

Thanks and I do use perfect man in candles and it smells awesome. I have never tried the crackling birch. I will have to jump on that one. I am going to look into Oakmoss and Amber from Candle Science because it is amazing in candles, melts and diffusers. I bet if its skin safe it will be fantastic in soap.

Some EOs stick longer than others. Patchouli, anise, lavender, peppermint and spearmint last a long time in my soaps.

Thanks for the info. I do have some essential oils laying around and I may try those
