Ugh I’m lost
I was just in love with this scent, now it isn’t the same at all. Any chance you’ll revise the revision? Please? I want my brown sugar and fig!

We did not experience any separation but there was some acceleration. Initially, the mixture was not creating an emulsion—we used the stick blender and stirred by hand quite a bit longer than usual just to create an emulsion. Once we had an emulsion, it came almost immediately to a medium trace. As we poured into the mold there were some areas that had come to a thick trace before the rest of the batter. After 24 hours, the soap was a bit soft but still unmolded easily. The bars discolored to a gold shade and were very strong and sweet smelling. We did observe that the soap reached a partial gel through the center. After 30 days the soap discolored to a tan shade and the scent was more balanced and very strong. Overall the batter stayed workable, just plan to work quickly and create a simple design. This would also be a good choice to do some piping on top if using a loaf mold.
Reviews
Brown sugar & fig used to be a favorite. Had so many requests. Used to smell just like the BBW fragrance. Since they changed it, it smells terrible - like wine that's gone bad. It smells nothing like it used to before. So disappointed. If changing something doesn't make it better, leave it alone.
Revised scent
I like, for health and safety reasons, that this has been revised to meet standards, yet I am not a fan of the scent after the revision. I loved the warmth and subtleness of the original scent. It now has an oddness to it that I'm not certain how to explain. It almost smells like the scent has gone bad. I am definitely missing the old scent!
Maker
The new scent recipe smells NOTHING like the previous. Totally screwed me on holiday orders. Not a fan at all.
Very Happy
I'm new to the whole making my own stuff so I'm new to your site this was one of the first fragrances I tried and I love it even my girls love it. I dont know what it used to smell like but we love the way it smells now.
Brown sugar & Fig ( discontinue version)
I brought this fragrance based on the reviews. I must say am quiet disapointed. I cant smell anything at all, neither sugar nor fig.
I brought 2 bottles of 80oz. Am wondering if i increase the scent pour from 6% to 10 % if that would be better. Until i try that quite disapointed especially with this quantity.
Liked the previous version better
This no longer smells like a dupe of the BBW scent. It's completely different now. No longer my favorite :/
ADDICTIVE
I’m addicted and obsessed! Brown Sugar and Fig is a sophisticated combination of delectable and earthy scents! It smells just like the description to me. The fragrance is perfect on its own and magical mixed with other scents! I can’t understand why anyone would think otherwise. It performs beautifully in candles, soaps and sprays.
Lost another customer
Well I'm surprised by the bad reviews, I have the old version and the new version of Brown Sugar & Fig and I like the new one way better, I know it doesn't smell like BBW anymore, but it is a good scent. The sad part is I came back to Candle Science to order some wax tart soy wax (which is being discontinued), now I can't count on consistency for my product line and the SHIPPING HAS TRIPLED!!! Sorry CS you have lost a customer for life.
Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback. We are so sorry for the frustration of one of your waxes not being available. Sadly, EcoSoya closed their operations earlier this year so their waxes are no longer available. Our support team has reached out to you via email with some additional information. Please feel free to follow-up if we can assist further.
Revised Scent Review
Not what it used to be at all. A considerable shift from the previous version. Happy it's safer/cleaner, but definitely not one I would continue to carry in my collection.
Spooky Bath Empress
This scent has been DRASTICALLY changed. It no longer smells like the B&BW scent. It smells like brandy and fruit. I am SUPER disappointed. This was my best selling scent and I bought a 16 oz bottle of this to restock products. Can't use it.
Well, we lost Brown Sugar Fig
Brown Sugar Fig was my favorite scent, soaring over all others; really. I make a ton of these candles and I really didn't expect that it would change this much. I mean we're talking; I had found my happy place for aroma therapy. The throw was so perfect. I need to find a replacement if possible, but part of me says, screw it. I'm so tired of these changes that mess everything up. All the time and money wasted doing more research and testing. Someone said to me, why don't you do it then. And I'm thinking to myself, I'm not mafia enough to be in the candle or fragrance supply business. I'd change the name to Brown Sugar. It smells nothing like the 'toxic' version. I'm so sad/mad. I'd like know where to get the other, original scent. What was I thinking? My mind! It must be going south or something. Buttered Brown Sugar maybe. I have NOT read any reviews, another mistake I've made lately. I'll read them now. Rant complete.
My Fall Fav!
This is so luxurious. I love it and so do our customers. I’m shocked by the other reviews. It’s amazing!!
Not for me, but
I was hoping to smell more brown sugar than fig. I did not like this scent at all, but for those looking for Fig and sweetness scent I would recommend this FO.
So disappointed
The discontinued Brown Sugar and Fig was one of my very favorite scent CS sold. This new version isn’t even close. It smells mainly like artificial caramel and no trace of fig.
revised scent
Disappointed with the revised scent, it's not nearly identical to the old fragrance. It's smells more chocolatey.
Amazing
Received this fragrance as a free sample, made goat's milk soap with it... Wowsers it smells amazing, difficulty on my re-order list 🥰.
