We did not experience any acceleration or separation. The soap easily came to a light trace and stayed fluid while pouring into the mold. After 24 hours we noticed the surface of the soap was oily and overall softer than usual. Ideally, this batch would have stayed in the mold another day to allow it to harden a little more. But, we were able to remove the soap from the silicone mold without any tearing or creating any surface issues. We did see that the soap reached a full gel with minimal insulation. The scent was strong and very true. The bars had a yellow discoloration. After a 30 day cure the scent was a little more mild but still true. The discoloration had faded quite a bit and the bars have a typical off white color. This fragrance would be ideal for color techniques that require the batter to stay at a light trace for several minutes.

Sweet and simple!

This is a refreshing and crisp fragrance that is also soothing. It pairs really nicely with other currant notes.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

I think Votivo came out with this 20 years ago. I’ve been in love with it ever since. Very upscale and lovely. Tart, sweet and addicting!

Fabulous 5 star CT 4 star HT!

Sweet but not too sweet, tart, but not too tart. Strong but not overwhelming. Indescribable really. Is it fruit? Yes. Is it citrus? Yes. I would say it’s a bright fragrance. I could see it mixed with a hint of something more powdery or vanilla based for those who may think it too tart.

Mouth watering

I rarely write reviews, but recently read a negative review about this fragrance and just so completely disagree. This is an absolutely fresh clean and tart juicy fragrance! I love love love it! Used in CP soap, no acceleration, no discoloration, behaved perfectly! This will definitely be a fragrance I will use over and over again!! Plan on using this in my salt scrubs also. Thank you candle science for making some amazing fragrances that behave beautifully in CP soap!!

Not As Described

Going off everybody else's reviews and what the description was it made this sense seem like it was fruity and it is not. It's a very bitter scent that I can't even describe it, I don't like like this

Candle

Beats the smell of beeswax, so it's decently strong at 6%. It's a sharp scent but sweet. I really liked it.

I’d give it 10 Stars if I could!

Delicious. Incredible CT and HT. Bright, tart but never cloying. It’s spectacular alone or as a mixer with other berry/ fruit scents to lift it up. Buy it. You won’t be disappointed. Do NOT confuse this with WHITE CURRANT. That’s a totally different beast.

One of my favorites. I have ordered this scent from other companies but none smell as amazing as this one.

Love at first smell

I walked into the lobby of a hotel on the beach in FL and the smell from a candle burning was amazing. They told me the scent was 'red currant'. I was so happy to find this scent as it is very similar. My customers love it!
