Fragrance was added at a light trace, just passed emulsification. We experienced slight acceleration, but no separation. We used the immersion blender to mix the fragrance.

After 30 days, the scent retention was strong and true. Bars discolored to brown.

Unexpected
Kenneth 2025-09-05

Not what I was expecting for sure, but not in a bad way. It reminds me of my grandfather’s shaving cream or aftershave. A barbershop. That’s it. It reminds me of the hot lathered shaving cream right before the barber shaves the back of your neck with a straight razor. Would definitely pour again for myself. Not sure yet if I would add it to my line.

This Fragrance is EVERYTHING!!

Received this in a sample set and instantly fell IN LOVE! I just want it in everything. It reminds me of frankincense & myrrh, but love the warmth of the peppercorn. It's like eating a perfectly balanced curry with just the right amounts of warm spiciness and slightly sweet brightness. The throw has been amazing in CS coco apricot wax and room spray, but I'd love to try it in shampoo, soaps, body spray, all the things. Thank you CS!

This is so good and smells exactly what those witchy shops smell like. I get copal off the top and some other resinous scents. Not a whole lot of herbal smell to me. Either way, as an apothecary owner, I really love this fragrance :)

Intriguing

Surprisingly warm for a scent that's citrusy, peppery and herbaceous. I'm intrigued

Very weak - I purchased based on customers reviews and this scent is very weak no notes, nothing even out of the bottle. I asked several reliable customers to smell test and all gave me a puzzled look like what is this supposed to be look.
