Purple Lilac Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I have used quite a few of Becky's fo in CP soap - not too many of her new ones yet, but what ones are you interested in and I will let you know if I have soaped them.

Purple Lilac Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 The Lavender Vanilla blended very nicely, no discoloration. Jamaican Me Crazy also blended nicely, a tropical scent, no discoloration.From your list these are the only two I have soaped so far. Wish I could of been more of a help. If you have others you would like to know about just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 How was the Lavender Vanilla scent wise, I have been using From Nature With Love, it is so expensive.....it is a best-seller for me but I really need to start cutting cost this year.

tlc26 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 It is not like cranberry spice. It is not christmasy to me. It is tangy tart. I don't know I am not good at describing scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Lavender in cp soap- seized horribley!! But then again, its lavender. Maybe next time I will do HP although I really am not fond of that method but love lavender soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Lavender EO doesn't seize at all. You can find Grosso at really good prices, sometimes cheaper than FO. I saw Royal Aromatics has it for 10.70 pp.And I soaped Boysenberry Spiced Clove and I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 I do make a Lavender Palmarosa with EO, a true charm in soap, but the one I am making in my Castile soap is a blend of Lav/Van FO and Lavender EO, it smells heavenly. I have tried making my own version but it does not smell anything like the FO from FNWL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherl Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 What percentages of fo do you use? I am new to cp and used Tonys fo's at first as his site told how the fo's reacted to cp. So, I get brave and try JS Chestnuts and Brown Sugar in cp at .7 and nothing. I have a pretty swirled bar of soap and no fragrance... been a few days now. Am a bit leary to try any more of her fragrances in soap... love them in candles, with out knowing how they will react. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I add anywhere from 2 tsp to 1 oz ( there are appx 6 tsp in 1 oz) of fragrance oil when I soap (CP). It just depends on the scent.When I soaped Chestnut & Brown Sugar , I used 4 tsp pp - the fo naturally discolored the soap to a light brown but it just added to the appearance of the soap, IMO.
