Looks like I dodged a bullet. I don't want a cookie with a citrus note. Looks like I'll be placing an order with CW.

Thanks for your review, Karen.

Has anyone tried this? Is it comparable to Candlewic's?

I'm also looking for reviews on their Frosted Sugar Cookie and Peach Cobbler.

Thanks!

Lol! That is not where I thought your post was going.

Good huh? When I read down through the list, my first thought was man that sounds strong and cloying. Lol.

They look great! What are the scents?

Thank you guys!!

I don't know what it is about soap, but every time I see a CP soap in the gallery I think to myself - 'Ooooo I have to have that one!'

Why can't someone come up with a scratch and sniff screen?

I know! That would be awesome.

The scent smells exactly like The Body Shop's Satsuma. It's like a fresh mandarin orange.

The soap is curing on a shelf in my bedroom. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted with a mouth watering smell. I'm loving it so far.

It should wash off your bath. I have not had any problems with black oxide or even activated charcoal coming off the side of the tub.

The soap will stain washcloths even when fully cured if you put too much oxide in the soap. That being said, even when I use a little of some oxides, they still stain my washcloths. I recommend not using a white or light washcloth when using darker oxides in your soap. :-)

Your soap looks great!

I got my first bar from a friend and used it I fell in love because orange usually doesn't stick in soap she told me the bar was 2 years old Wow! I couldn't believe it.

Yay! I'm thrilled to hear it sticks!

Thank you all for the nice comments.:-)

I'll keep you updated on how the scent does in my soap.

You may want to look at Eucalyptus Citriodora from Camden Grey, too. I plan on soaping it in April or May.

Here is their description:

Commonly known as lemon scented eucalyptus. The oil has a strong fresh citronella-like odor with a sweet balsamic undertone. Very effective insect repellent due to a higher citronellal content than citronella. Appears to have bacteriostatic activity towards Staphylococcus aureus due to the synergy between citronellol and citronellal present in this oil. It is considered analgesic, calming, sedative and anti-hypertensive. ommonly known as lemon scented eucalyptus. The oil has a strong fresh citronella-like odor with a sweet balsamic undertone.

This is Satsuma from AH. This smells so good. I sure hope it does not fade.

Wowzers! That thing is huge! What a wonderful idea. I'm very happy for you. Craigslist here I come.

Yay! You're welcome. I'm glad it worked. But, your soap looks wonderful upside down or right side up. Lol.

I tried it in soy/paraffin blend and the results were great. It's a strong oil.

I'm guessing you would need synthetic scent components. I don't think they would be easily obtained.

If you are wanting something natural, have you considered essential oils?

Wow! I love that look. Super pretty! Thanks for posting. I always look forward to looking at your soap.

Sorry to hear that you are sick. I hope you feel better soon.

eta: I downloaded a photo editor app on my tablet. I found that if I use that app to crop my pics before I put them on here, then they are not upside down. Maybe it would work with yours, too. But, trust me, I'm no computer genius.

Have you cut it yet?

Thank you all very much! And I totally recommend this scent. It is good, strong, clean and easy to work with.

Add up what you have in the product including labels, packaging, etc, and then multiply that number by 3. That's how I figure it.

Yummy!! They look so good.

I made this last night in my new tall mold. Thanks for looking.

Very, very pretty!

Bamboo & Sugarcane from AH is very spa-like and super strong.

They have a lot of good oils. I always shop in the extreme and bold section.

Candlwic's Butterscotch Pudding is to die for. It smells like the candy to me and is very sweet and strong.

So from your experiences would you suggest - a different wick type for citrusy FO's in 4630 wax? I have tested also CD's in this wax, and got a serious fuel smell with the fruit slices FO. I have HTP wicks - I havent tested them yet, but they look exactly like the CD wicks. Do you know if they burn the same? I know I have to pay attention to the MPs from Differnt suppliers also, as they all do not have the same MP for their 4630 waxes.

I love HTPs in 4630. I would start with a HTP 83 or 93 in that jar.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I've never had any trouble with their customer service. I really like AH! They have a lot of wonderful oils that work in my applications.
