Lye Temperature 72ºF Oil

We added fragrance at a light trace and hand-stirred. We experienced excessive acceleration. After 30 days, the scent retention is strong. The bar discolored to a light tan. No ricing or separation occurred. Although this fragrance accelerates fast, it is good for cold process soap. May not be able to do designs with this fragrance.
