We experienced slight acceleration but no separation. We used our stick blender to bring this to a medium trace, which happened slowly. Once we began to pour the soap into the mold we found it was thickening but did not become stiff. After 24 hours we found the soap had discolored to a dark burnt orange color around the edges while the inside was a light tan color. We observed the soap bars almost reached a full gel. The scent was pleasantly strong. We noticed over the 30 days of curing, the soap bars eventually became a uniform burnt orange color before slowly discoloring to a dark chocolate brown color. The scent faded a little but stayed true to the out of bottle character. Hand stir in the fragrance at a light trace to allow more time to work and choose a design that needs a medium to thick trace.

Strong Cream
TaraBee 2026-02-04

This is one of the very few CS oils that I find smells artificial. Most smell exactly like what the label says and that's something my customers value. I've poured this twice because like others I get caught in the reviews, but I just don't prefer it and neither do my return customers. The cream scent is strong and nice but the cardamom smells nothing like actual cardamom.

Staple Scent
Claire 2026-01-15

I am still on the search for a true to life gourmand vanilla scent for candles and soaps. In my quest, I found this- which is definitely different but scratches the same itch. It doesn't smell like cafeteria pudding or other fake overly sweet food smells, it is truly creamy in the way that coconut oil is creamy without smelling like coconut. It's hard to describe, but a really luscious, rich, satisfying warm scent along with light spice and fruitiness that really adds to the overall effect. It has the complexity of true vanilla beans that I've been searching for without being vanilla. It also works wonderfully as a blender base for scents that are a little too harsh or where you want just a little smooth complexity that's noticeable but hard to place.

I am just a home hobby maker, but I did buy the 16oz bottle of this. We do candles for gifts and I sometimes put on events where other people can make their own. My family is mostly boring- they all want vanilla candles- but they have all liked this one. These not only get used, but requested. I typically do a soy 464 candle but sometimes I'll add some beeswax to the blend which really adds to the sweet complexity with toasted straw and honey notes.

Smells So Good!
KL 2025-12-18

I just did a huge order and this was one of my 1st scents from you guys and out of the 20 some odd scents I got this one is by far my favorite! I love it so much.

I have made 3 different fragrances using this scent. It pairs very well with Sandalwood, Amber, Pineapple and Labdanum elements that I got.

I will be ordering more!

A key fragrance
Kalidava 2025-09-26

This has become one of my go to scents for a sweet and spicy blending note that doesn't smell conventional. The "cream" is extremely interesting, I wasn't sure if I was even going to like it because most scents described as cream, butter, milk, etc smell absolutely vile to me. This on the other hand smells like cocoa butter or something, it's rich and "creamy" but doesn't smell like "milk" to me at all. It's sweet without smelling like the "sugar" note in a lot of sweet scents either. If this was a flavor I'd drink it by the bottle XD

This scent is amazing! I added it to my line as a new scent and only made 4 8 oz jars (sold out) and now my customers are asking for more🫶🏼
