Yes this is the question.
Will the soap smell bad from Ghee?

Yes, it's nasty. Several have tried and hated it.
The odor is not a pleasant one for soap -- a kind of yeasty, sour-ish odor. Maybe this would be okay in bread, but not soap. Neem soap smells better to me, actually.
Un-equivocally YES!! I am one of the ones that have tried it in the long past. If you do not smell it in the finished bar you will smell it on your hands after using it.

Let's call it a fun soap. I made a soap (810 grams total oil) consisting of 50% rice bran oil, 35% ghee and 15% coconut fat (76 deg) with 20ml bergamot oil and 5ml tea tree oil and a little olive pine resin and a little ripe kiwi fruit and with leaf and titanium dioxide. Yes, it is fragrant in itself and smells better (rubbing between fingertips) (smells of ear fat and neem oil), but hard during bathing like concrete and foams like shampoo and disappears after bathing in the washed body part no trace of earwax smell, only a good and pleasant scent. How is this? Does it clean itself?
