tlc26 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I want to know the scents that do NOT rock in CP. I know we have the thread for the ones that are awesome in CP, but I thought it would be cool to have a thread for what FO to avoid. Please tell us where the FO is from, what it did that was not cool and any other commentsI will startJSTropical Rain - it started to sieze and riced! but I beat the daylights out of it and it made for decent soap that smells great! NGMojito- made a crumbled batch of soap, and scent morph and didn't hold up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryinCary Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Burberry from SOS....both batches seized and riced...rebatched both batches and ended up with some nice soap but I would strongly suggest using only 1/2 oz ppoo with this scent.

Actually the scent seems to be nce, but it turned the soap a really dark brown (not necessarily a bad thing, since it now looks kinda woody).JSTropical Rain - it started to sieze and riced! but I beat the daylights out of it and it made for decent soap that smells great!

Meridith Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 If your batch is seizing and/or ricing real bad, its hard to swirl in any color at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 If your batch is seizing and/or ricing real bad, its hard to swirl in any color at that point.My batch with the Spellwood didn't do anyting but turn brown as it saponified. Thinking of trying to swirl in some unfragranced so I can have a brown background with a a white swirl. Does that kind fo thing work do yo think?

Meridith Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Try a blind swirl then - you do that with an FO that will turn colors on you. Take out of portion of unscented soap and swirl that back into the scented portion. I've tried it a few times with Pink Sugar but haven't gotten the percentage down enough to see the unscented portion once swirled back in.

CareBear Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Thanks for telling me what it is called - I will give it a try! I really like the scent, and the color was so interesting I don't want to give up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Tab maybe we need a thread of what FOs will turn color lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Do a search on reverse swirl in the gallery. Sara posted an incredible batch she made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 SC- Brown Sugar and Fig, riced up the instant I poured it in. Ended up having to cook it, and I can't even smell it, neither in the bottle or the soap.SOS-Calandre, riced up and it made my soap look so yucky. Think liposuction in a bbowl, or fat mixed with blood. That is exaxtly what my soap looked like. I was too pissed to even try and save it, threw it away.Wanted to edit this and say that I ralize now that I have to use the manufacturer's fragrance from SOS if I am going to CP soap with it. I looked at my bottle and saw that I had the cosmetic blend, which is probably why I ended up with liposuction guts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindsaycb Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 ICS - Sangria & Berries it performed nicely, but the scent basically died in the soap. very very faintFOH - Japanese Pear & Ginseng - seized and made one ugly soap. Smelled awesome, but I'd stick with HP on that one maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giedre11 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Not sure if I'm allowed to post this, but do make sure and post these results on the Scent Review board also...it's the first place I look when trying out a new scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 FNWL- Egyptian Musk smells like water and castor oil in the bottle, looks like water too. Smell actually made me sick, took me back to the day I tried to kick my labor in gear by drinking castor oil when my daughter was taking her sweet time to come out of the womb. Spent the night in the bathroom:o Tried soaping it to see if the fragrance would blossom in CP, but my soap smells unscented. Wrote them about it because I was really annoyed that I spent $12.60 on 4 ounces of water and oil in a bottle, just to tell them that it smells nothing like Egyptian Musk. They never even replied with an apology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
