We did not experience any acceleration or separation and the batter stayed very fluid for a long time. After 24 hours, there was no discoloration and the scent was mild with a nice woodsy character. There did not appear to be any sign of going into a gel phase. After 30 days the interior of the bars are slightly pink, but overall there is no significant discoloration. The scent is still mild but quite pleasant. This would be a great fragrance to try an intricate swirl design or any advanced technique that requires a light trace for an extended period of time.

Smells like Indiana Jones

Blends well with masculine fragrances. Put this in my screened patio warmer, jump on my swing and read a book. Takes you to another place…

Perfect

This performs well in my coconut blend, very strong cold and hot throw.

Unique alone or perfect blender!

This scent reminds me of antique books or a high-end antique store. It’s not a musky smell at all. If you want to go for that leather bound book smell use it alone, but we have found that it is perfect as a blender for other fragrances that you want to ground.

Love this scent!

Very comforting, tranquil, nostalgic scent. Captures the essence of a serene, vintage, quiet library, without smelling musty. Perfect scent for quiet moments, reading a novel, practicing music, or journaling.

This stuff is strong OOB and cold throw

I love the smell of old libraries. I bought this scent to try. I mixed it with sandalwood rose; after cure, it was super strong in the cold throw. I didn't test it because it was a last-minute gift to a close friend. I have some left so I will make and test it alone. I'm not ditching this scent I plan on mixing it with recommendations from CS. When my friend opened the tin she threw her head back from the intensity of the fragrance. She said she will leave the cover off to fragrance the room. I saw others saying it was not strong so I will test that alone. Keep testing people to get the most out of your fragrance line.
