Whats in the cupboard..

The recipe I have used cocounut oil. Does the coconut smell survive the process? Thanks for the tip regarding Brambleberry. I looked at their sampler kit and will probably order that. This soap making is costly so I want to make a small batch first to be sure I can do it with good results.

The scent of coconut doesn't survive saponification. From what I've read, the fragrance oils don't survive much either - I've never soaped coconut.

There are plenty of fragrance oils that do quite nicely in CP soap and stick for a long time.

I strongly recommend this site: http://soapscentreview.obisoap.ca/index.php

Thousands of reviews by real soap makers. You will need a paid email account to register (no aol, msn, yahoo, etc). But it is a wealth of information.
