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.

Light scent when burning, but really nice

This oil is so creamy and wonderful out of the bottle and I love the cold throw SO MUCH. I love it mixed with a little bit of sandalwood scent, Sea Mist, and/or Cedarwood Blanc (and all kinds of other things, really). It’s a nice neutral scent, but I personally lose the smell quickly if I mix with “louder” scents or actually light the candle haha.

Smells like cardamom and cream

Sweet sweet creamy cream. Soft Cardamom, not bright or fresh, more warm. I don’t really pick up any other notes. Not my favorite but It’s very nice. Sweet creamy and cozy

Grandma's Kitchen

What a phenomenal scent. I actually didn't know what cardamom smelled like until I started making this scent in my line up! It smells just like black cardamom tastes. A truly incredible experience and takes you straight to your grandma's kitchen baking holiday treats. This scent is a MUST HAVE in my shop starting in August!

Favorite candlescience fragrance yet

Works beautifully in CP soap. Fragrance is strong after curing. And the fragrance is a true cardamom - as someone who uses the spice a lot. The "cream" notes lift it and make it stand by itself, but are not overpowering.
