Our first test with this fragrance resulted in a very unusual experience, and we ended up with a batch that could not be salvaged. When it happened a second time, we wondered if something else was causing this result and not the fragrance oil. We started from scratch with fresh oils, fresh lye, and even a brand new jug of distilled water. It turns out the masterbatch of lye water was the culprit. Now for the actual performance of this fragrance!

Lye Water Temperature 120ºF (48.9°C)
Oil Temperature 111ºF (43.9°C)

We did not experience any acceleration or separation. The soap batter did turn a dark honey mustard shade once we reached a light trace. After 24 hours we observed that only about ¾ of the soap gelled using no insulation. The color was an even darker shade of honey mustard than when it went into the mold. The scent was amazingly strong with more of the hazelnut notes coming through with a lighter coffee note. After 30 days the scent is still strong and the color has turned to a milk chocolate shade of brown. Due to the discoloration, you could create an interesting swirl color pattern by adding titanium dioxide in varying amounts to 1-3 portions of the batter, or even separate off some of the batter before adding the fragrance.

*Note - This fragrance was tested at a 5% fragrance load. With the release of IFRAs 49th Amendment this fragrance can now be used at 4.9% to remain IFRA compliant.
