We did not experience any acceleration or separation. Once at a light trace we noticed the batter turned bright yellow. The soap poured smoothly into the mold and did not begin to stiffen. After 24 hours, we observed the soap had almost reached a full gel and the bars discolored to a light tan around the outer edges while the center remained yellow. The scent was strong with a dominant eucalyptus note. After 30 days, the soap bars discolored to a uniform light tan and the scent remained strong.

Aweseome!

I was skeptical about this one at first; seemed weak OOTB. But when it cured, oh man!! This is a beautiful fragrance that I stock for Christmas.

Best seller during the holidays

This is my best seller during the holiday season. I also receive orders for it year round from the nature lovers. There is not really much to say about this fragrance, it is nice if you enjoy the smell evergreens.

If you aren't a fan, I highly suggest blending!!

I've left a 5-star review before because I absolutely adore this fragrance and hope it never goes away BUT I'm leaving this here for those who can't really get into this one:

Mix this with Rosemary Sage or Sage & Cypress!!! Or even Dry Gin and Cypress. This is a surprisingly amazing blender and really rounds out those fragrances that smell sort of like winter but just not exactly winter into a true winter scent.

5 out of 5 Stars.
Perfect pine scent!!

I honestly don't understand any of the negative reviews. I find this scent quite pleasant! I think the strength is perfect. My customers absolutely love it!

Smells more like the seaside, not a bad thing

I find this FO very pleasant both hot and cold throws, but it smells nothing like pine, balsam, or wintery at all. I get some hints of juniper, but mainly it smells like a "clean, fresh" type scent with saltwater vibes. I see a lot of reviews calling it "soapy" and I kind of agree but not in a bad way; it just doesn't match its name. Used Ecosoya CB 135, poured at 135°, 6% load.
