So far out of all the sea/ocean inspired scents, Sea Minerals smells the most authentic and true to life experience for me. To me, it reminds me of that sea foam that washes up ashore mixing in with the sand exactly pictured by the artwork. To me, all of the other sea inspired smells are nice, but end up smelling like men’s cologne which is good if that’s what you want, but not if you want a true smell of the ocean.

I understand that smells are subjective, and we won't always agree that something smells as it is titled or described. I love love love that Candle Science publishes the bad reviews that are really unfairly given due to a customer not liking the smell. Other companies will not do that, and that is one reason why I'm likely to buy all of my fragrances right here.

This was the first CS fragrance that I did anything with. I'm still a beginner, that mostly makes hot process soaps, and loved the smell of this so much that I quickly made a batch of soap with it. I used the 6% max and the smell lingers on me through-out the day, which is what I was wanting. I think this is great as a stand-alone fragrance, but I think it'll be even better when I find the right fragrance to mix it with. Definitely gives off ocean breeze vibes that I miss so much here in Kentucky! I colored the bars a solid bright blue to further give that ocean feel.

Excessive acceleration is definitely accurate! Whew! I definitely could NOT get the in the pot swirl I was going for... but just attempting said swirl still came out looking pretty cool.

To add to the excessive acceleration, commentary... it riced in my batch. That's why mine came out so thick, because I had to stick blend the ricing out, but it was pretty thick right after I poured it in anyways. I'm glad that I separated the batter before adding the FO.

It does still smell amazing. I would recommend, but only in a single color soap batch.

I can't wait to make a small batch with this FO! It smells amazing!

A literal underrated scent and an absolute favorite of mine. Beautiful, and spa-like in wax and other fragranced products! Great hot and cold throw.

It smells like a beach wave. Fresh clean salt water right in your face. I wouldn't be heavy handed with it because even in just the bottle its strong.

We market our candles as strong, and deliver on that promise. That being said, we blended this with another fragrance for a maximum load of 10% (IGI 6006) for our first test burn. After only 24 hours. it was overbearing. I'm never sensitive to candles, and our strong throws are what our customers want - but this was eye-watering strong. The scent is spot in and a keeper, but this is going to end up being our lowest fragrance load percentage solely because of how strong the throw is. We're dropping to 8% next, and will lower it again if necessary.

it really just smells like body spray used in the girl's locker room in grade school.. i wish it were more complex with heavier ozone. it's not really what I'm looking for. this smells clean, and fresh which i like. but i wanted more of an ocean-y mineral smell. there's no mineral features at all.

I love this FO! however it gives me more ozone/fresh air vibes than ocean. I do see how you could market it as an ocean scent though. It's just so clean and nice - very spring feeling to me. don't judge until you make a candle with it bc the scent is different than OOB. OOB it gives mens cologne but in 464 wax it really mellowed out to that clean air scent in my opinion.

Even though this one can't be used in a diffuser it is still a huge hit with everything I make. Beach here we come! Does not disappoint. Will be making bathbombs, natural diffusers, candles everything!
