Back when The Scent Shack was in business (SEVERAL years ago), I purchased a Heather FO, which I remember really liking oob. I tend to use EOs in my CP soapmaking, but wanted to start using up some of my older FOs by making a lotion bar.
I like the results of the lotion bar, but it stinks! Smells like cheap perfume my grandmother may have worn 50+ years ago (Gardenia? Honeysuckle?). I tried melting it down with some high heat in hopes of evaporating off the scent and then added some dark patchouli to help mask it or blend with the strong floral fragrance. Remolded it and tried it out again. Initially, thought it was a little better, but the patchouli scent is gone, leaving this nasty gardenia/honeysuckle behind and giving me a serious headache.
I attempted to locate The Scent Shack online to see if others had trouble with this FO, only to find the store gone, or renamed, or... something. Thoughts? Suggestions? Or, count my loss and chuck it? Btw, can't seem to find anyone who likes it. Several have said it smells like old lady or cheap Avon.
