TexasBrat Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Have you ever noticed that with d.o.s. you get a soap with a morphed scent?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel91805 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 hmmmm.....the only thing I've ever gotten DOS in was my unscented bastille. It does smell uber strong of olive oil though (in light of the recent thread about olive oil soap not smelling).Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I don't know about morphed scent, but DOS stinks all on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Well, I have a batch of BRV I made and it has dos and it doesn't smell bad but it doesn't smell like BRV anymore either. Kind of a morphed scent of rancid and BRV. But it doesn't smell bad and that is what is weird. I think this one has dos b/c I am thinking the idea behind metal and soaps is a real thing. I made a batch and used my soap beveler to shave off the ash and now it is showing dos. I made a batch previously to it and never shaved off anything and it still smells fine and no dos.

Linnyeg Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 The only soap I've ever had DOS in is my Spa soap, which is a dark grey/brown colour. I would never have known it had DOS if it wasnt for the smell. Yuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Well I know I soaped a batch of Tonic and it went bad and a batch of Lovely and it went bad and a batch of pearberry and it went bad ... well not bad ... it had DOS. I stopped using canola and haven't had that stuff come back ... not implying that was the sole culprit. But in all three batches, those scents didn't morph.

TexasBrat Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Weird, so I wonder why my scent morphed and the other batch using the same fo didn't morph...and, I used the exact same recipe and ingredients. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Soap fairy. Honestly though, I don't know. It would make sense that as something goes bad that an odor follows it. I guess I would just wonder if something wasn't a little off ... even if it was a super humid day as opposed to one that wasn't. I know I'm running all over the place after I type this to knock on wood, but since I dropped Canola I haven't had DOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 I don't use canola and never have either and I have always used the same oils for all my soaps....olive, babbassu, pko,palm,castor and coconut. Weird weird weird. At least the soap is still useable and not so gross that it makes me gag or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Looks about like my same combo of oils so wow and hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
