We experienced a slight amount of acceleration but no separation. Initially, this was very slow to form a stable emulsion. Once an emulsion had formed the batter quickly progressed from a light trace to a medium trace. The batter remained fluid and did not stiffen. The soap poured smoothly into the mold. After 24 hours, we observed the soap only reached a partial gel and the outer edges discolored to a light tan while the inside remained a pale yellow. The scent was very strong with the spice and tobacco notes really standing out. After 30 days, the soap had discolored to tan and the scent had faded a bit but became more balanced. If the fragrance is hand-stirred in at a light trace more detailed designs may be achieved.
