Tracey Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi all-I just got my first order of samples from Just Scent. I love all the ones I got. Just wondering what your experience has been with percentage of FO in soy or soy/cottonseed.....I use KY125. I am hoping to get as many of these as I can in wax this weekend to test.....Thanks for any input.Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakalex Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I use CB135 and I have been putting 8%FO and getting good results. A few of the weaker scents may need 9%. I am still in the testing stages but this has worked for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Thanks Jakalex-That's a good starting point to go with....trying to make those 1oz samples go as far as I can....Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 With pure soy, I might start in the middle - around 7.5%. With paraffin, I always started at 6%, but with soy, I've been going a bit higher. I think it really does depend on the scent too. Some of her scents are super strong at 6% and with others I like to use a little more.By the way, what samples did you get??? Inquiring minds want to know and live vicariously through you, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely pouring it soon. Please let me know what you think about the Yuzu, Sandalwood & Bee Blossom and My Secret Recipe - both oob and in product. I would really like to try these, but didn't order them this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hey Angela-I will most definitely let you know about those 3. OOB I like all three. The Sandalwood and Bee Blossom-you definitely pick up on the honey....My Secret recipe-does smell like eggnog OOBYuzu-you can pick up on the grapefruit aroma, but it's not as intense-there's other good scents in there too-it's a very nice combination.. I unfortunately am not good at descriptions....it's very fresh though....I have to get these in wax this weekend....I am thinking the Sandalwood and Bee Blosson will be good in soap-I only do MP, but I still think it will be good....Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
