We did not experience any acceleration or separation. Overall this fragrance was very easy to work with but noticed the batter came to a light trace quickly but was slow to get to a medium trace. After 24 hours, the soap discolored to yellow and the scent was strong. There was no sign of the soap going through a gel phase. After 30 days, the soap had discolored to brown and the scent remained strong. Due to the discoloration, this would be an ideal fragrance to portion out some of the batter and add titanium dioxide to create some color contrast within the soap.

In love

First time ordering with Candlescience. Order arrived promptly and oils were packaged very well. I’m over the moon with the Nag Champa. The right amount of powdery, florals and light on the Patchouli. IMO, they knocked it out of the park with this blend.

Exactly like Nag Champa

This smells amazing! Nag Champa is one of my favorite incense to light around the house, so I was so surprised when I opened the bottle and it smells exactly like it. The CT and HT did not change the smell or the strength of the fragrance either. Great job on this one!

My all time favorite

Honestly this is by far the best scent I’ve gotten from candle science. I keep a vessel for myself and when I run out I just make myself another candle over and over. As soon as I light it it brings a calmness to the room. Please never change this scent!

Warm & Inviting

Great scent that is exactly what I was hoping for. Strong OOB fragrance that carries throughout my entire apartment when making a candle. Used with Palm Wax and the CT hours after curing is just as potent. Will definitely be purchasing more!

Undecided on first attempt...

Honestly I think I'm smelling almost as much powdery scent as Nag Champa. Maybe a hint more powder. I need to spend more time with this one to decide. I am a first time candle maker but this one isn't standing out to me just yet. I will have to do some experimenting before my ultimate conclusion.

Absolutely Love This Scent!

Nag Champa fragrance oil is so good, the cold and hot throws are amazing. I can't keep this candle on our shelves, very popular and sells out quickly! I use this with their Soy 464 wax, and it blends perfectly! I will definitely be purchasing more oil soon! This is the best fragrance for mediating, yoga or manifesting! Such a relaxing scent!

Fantastic!

Not sure why it only has four stars, this is the ONLY one I've found that is almost exactly like the incense! And people seem to LOVE it!

Smells Different

I've been buying this scent for a year or so but my most recent bottle smells different then the one from a year ago. I prefer the old one and my customers do too.
