We did not experience any acceleration or separation. The batter was slow to come to trace and very easy to work with. After 24 hours, we could see the soap had reached a partial gel, just through the very center. We observed an unusual discoloration pattern; the outer edges of the soap had turned a dark mustard yellow while the inner area turned a gold color. The scent was quite strong and more of the woody notes came through. After 30 days, the soap had discolored to a light brown shade and the scent became much more balanced although it was not quite as strong. The discoloration would make this a great fragrance to experiment with a wood grain pattern by using various amounts of titanium dioxide.

*Note - This fragrance was tested at a 5% fragrance load. With the release of IFRAs 49th Amendment this fragrance can now be used at 4.28% to remain IFRA compliant.

One of my faves

What a wonderful amber scent. I don't know how anyone can not like this scent. It's amazing alone or mixed with other scents. I'm using it for candles and my test candles are a hit!

Best seller! Does soap safe include laundry detergent safe?

Certainly Surprised

I once received a candle called Egyptian musk and absolutely fell in love with rustic smell of it. I purchased this Egyptian Amber and was pleasantly surprised with the scent. Not an exact match but the woodsy, earthy tones are not over powering and very calming. I used this in my soy candle and can not wait to burn one.

Phenomenal!

I received a sample bottle with a previous order and decided to use it in a recent cold process test batch. To my surprise, it behaved remarkably well, causing only mild acceleration, thanks to my careful blending to a light trace while working in additives and color. I was able to stick blend the colors, which did increase acceleration, but I managed to pour it into the mold just fine. I soaped at 80 degrees and used only 4% for the total batch weight in a small mold (which holds 500 grams).

Can I just say, I'm head over heels for this scent! It's got a wonderful woody and musky undertone with a delicate floral note. It's incredibly reminiscent of Egypt! Needless to say, I'll definitely be purchasing a larger bottle of this scent. Fantastic job!

4 out of 5 Stars.

This is the first time I try candlescience fragances and I must say that I'm absolutely in love. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because one of the bottles arrived with a good amount leaked out.
