We did not experience any acceleration or separation. This fragrance was slow to come to a very light trace and held there for a while. After 24 hours, the soap was still too soft to remove from the mold so we allowed an additional 3 days before removing. The soap had only gelled in a small, quarter-sized circle in the center of our loaf. There was a very light yellow discoloration and the scent was quite strong. After 30 days, the soap was still a very light yellow color but the scent had faded slightly. The discoloration can easily be fixed with titanium dioxide. Citrus scents typically do fade in cold process soaps but you may find adding kaolin clay to your soap will help the scent last longer. This would be an ideal fragrance for vibrant colors and intricate swirl designs that require a very light trace.
