Um… the color gradations are incredibly accurate, and the fact that you even got them out of the molds… really they are amazing.
It’s funny - I’m sure it’s me but I can barely smell anything from Peche de Vigne.
What soapy thing have you done today?

"POP BOTTLE"??? Please tell me you are from Pittsburgh, PA!
Or possibly Oregon.
We have pop bottles here, too.
It is an extremely light scent; I've heard from others that most true peach scents are light, and not terribly long lasting. I use Peche de Vigne in lotions and balms rather than soaps.It’s funny - I’m sure it’s me but I can barely smell anything from Peche de Vigne.
Mom? Is that you?
Canada actually. I think people in the US call it soda. Lol
Not sure where Sweet Brown is from - but she got up to get her a cold pop. ( Note how her eyes 'pop' when she says pop). I love her to bits x
My husband (born and raised in California) calls it "soda pop."
The best of both worlds. In NZ we just call it 'fizzy drink' lol.My husband (born and raised in California) calls it "soda pop."
I bet that's so you can drink champagne in the middle of the day and still say, "Oh, it's just fizzy drink..."

Soft drink here.
Yesterday at my regular Saturday market I gave away my “precycled” soap for earth day. People liked it! I had made a mold on my 3D printer which worked pretty well - I have some ideas for improvements. The loaf molds and cutter I use result in thin cutoffs at each end - so I made discs to go in the center (on the surface) of each bar. (Well, some bars, after I thought of it.) I have an abundance of saved shavings and trimmings so I was happy to do something with them. Also, hopefully new customers will get hooked on my soap. Ya know, the old ”first one is free” trick. 
I'm noticing that my recent batch (first time using lard) is starting to discolor. It's only on the surfaces that would've been on the outside of the full log of soap, though. I'm assuming it's the FO, not the lard.
It’s “pop“ in the Upper Midwest (US) where I’m from. Now that I live in the South, I still call it pop just to be contrary to everyone here who calls it “coke” no matter what fizzy drink they’re drinking! I refuse to call it Coke unless it’s an actual Coca-Cola!
That would be my assumption too. I routinely use lard in my soap (although using high amounts of it is new to me) but I haven’t had discoloration from it.
Grew up in South Dakota with pop. My high school gym had prominent signs posting "No Pop In The Gym!" We hosted an exchange group from Georgia who just could not figure out what the sign meant. No popping in the gym? What pops in a gym?
Grew up in Western New Yowl (1/2 hour outside of Buffalo). We called it “pop.” Moved to Boston, where they called it “soda.” I eventually adopted the latter. Now that I’m in California, where everyone calls it “soda,” and my immediate family (who all moved to AZ) still calls it “pop,” it’s always a conversation starter when we go out to dinner and my dad asks what kind of “pop” they have.
My dad REFUSES to call it “soda.”* And he doesn’t like Coke, only Pepsi. And most restaurants serve Coke. But he’s such a control freak (I say that in the nicest way possible) that he makes an issue of it with the server whenever we go out to dinner.It’s “pop“ in the Upper Midwest (US) where I’m from.

*per my last message above, he and my mom moved from NY to AZ about 12 years ago.
