Sarah S Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Disclaimer: I have never smelled the original from Lush, so I couldn't say if this is an accurate dupe or not. Soap: cold process: coconut soap (coconut oil and rice bran oil), lye solution 30% fo load: 5% additives: salt notes: soaped pretty hot, 100-110ish, no acceleration, no ricing discoloration: none CT: very strong*, no morphing, still strong after 6 months WT: very strong *This is a great lemon fresh kind of FO. Wonderful in soap, very popular. Fantastic in lotion, super strong, so a little goes a long way. I think it's a little softer and more well-rounded than a straight lemon, it doesn't smell like a floor cleaner to me, but it also does not have any bakery or sugar notes either. Very pleasant if one likes lemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Wax Candles: wax: CBL 125 fo load: 7% container: glass, mason wicking: wicked down one size from usual, HTPs cure: 1 week CT: strong HT: weak*, fuel smell while burning * So sad, this had the dreaded fuel smell when we lit it up. My daughter was very hopeful, she loves this fragrance, but the lemon smell was not strong enough to overcome the fuel smell. Perhaps a change in wicks would make a difference, but I moved on to other oils instead of struggling with it. melts: wax: CBL141 fo load: 7% container/mold: portion cups additives: none cure: 1 week CT: strong HT: moderately strong* *No fuel smell with the melts, as one would expect. This is moderately strong, but not blow the shutters off strong. A good thing, IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
