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.

Gourmand without being sweet
SB 2024-07-21

OOB is nice with mostly cardamom notes. Warm and smooth, not sweet at all. Soaped well at room temp. No acceleration, lots of mixing to get trace. Initially discolors yellow to orange during gel phase, then within 24 hours starts to change to brown. So far after couple of weeks, the scent is strong. tried to do a split batch and in-the-pot swirls to take advantage of the dark brown discoloration. I've already used this is 444wax and wax melts. My new favorite scent.

Amazing!

A really beautiful pre-blend. It smells creamy, soft, and has depth to it without being overpowering. I needed this scent for a candle I’m creating. I went to another supplier for cardamom but it didn’t work out; this one from CS is just what I need! I totally recommend it.

Subtle and rich
Stefanie 2024-06-25

This is a favorite of mine... it's soft, creamy, and a little sweet but also strong (in a good way). I use it alone or in blends, it goes well with lots of other scents (Vanilla Orchid, Amber Noir, Cinnamon Stick, Brandied Pear are some I've tried so far). Good hot throw as well.

Don't trust the OOB smell!
Mandi 2024-04-20

When I smelt this one OOB it was OK, but had more of a spice to it than I expected it would. However, after it cured in the wax OH MY LAWD it was creamy and subtly sweet (not sickeningly sweet like a lot of Gourmands) and had the perfect amount of soft cardamom spice to it. This one will be a keeper. I don't make a lot of "foodie" candles because I honestly don't like sweet bakery smells. This one is a perfect compromise to add to my line for those folks looking for a Gourmand. Thanks Candle Science!

My Best Seller
Gino Bracco 2024-03-22

My customers love this scent and I do too. It's subtle but complex. It's smells delicious but also slightly masculine. Please never discontinue it
