Our fragrances: Testing Results - Clementine Coriander

[TallTayl]

Clementine Coriander from set 2 is the star of the summer show. The bright citrus is sunshine itself.  It’s a fresh take on sweet-tart citrus juice with the slight green note of coriander.  
 

Soap Notes:

easy as can be to make.  Took my time and poured leisurely. 
standard 40% lye solution, room temp, 100 ish degree oils.

oils: palm, coconut, olive, Shea, cocoa butter, castor oil.

% used: 5.  May be able to use less for a fully scented cold process soap.  
Morphing: none

fade: none yet.  Will monitor for it over the coming weeks.

 

Acceleration: None

Discoloration: ivory

 

Candle Test #1:

common 9 oz straight sided amber glass  jar, inside diameter approx 2.5” give or take. 
Wax blend: coco83:sp487 70:30.

FO%: 8%. The sales rep recommends using 6% to start testing.  I jumped to 8 out of habit. 

wick: CD 5. Will wick up.  The flame is steady and pretty, but rather small for this candle. A bit more hang that is needed for safety.  Will try CDN 6 on next burn.

Cold Throw: 10 out of 10. Just like out of bottle

Hot Throw: 8 out of 10 with this wick. With just a little more wick energy this will be a 10 out of 10. 
 

Product Thoughts:

I can imagine this in everything from bath and body (bar and liquid soap, shampoo/conditioner, lotion, body spray, dusting powder) to home (kitchen soap, air freshener, dish soap, laundry soap, etc). Will smell cheery in car freshies too.
