icecold Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I Have been using the deodorized for my CP and happy with it but have never tried the Golden Prime pressed. What is the actual difference between the two? Is one better than the other? I have read that the Golden has the chocolate scent, is that the only difference?

MissMori Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Yes, the golden or non-deodorized can have a chocolatey scent to it. It can come through in the final soap. I ran out of deodorized and used some golden in an aloe-juniper scented soap... ick! The different scents clashed and it never cured out. The deodorized can also be lighter in color, depending on how refined it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I can see how the golden can interfere with fragrances. I have never used deodorized cocoa butter. I make a cocoa butter soap and the scent is chocolate. I do not scent it with anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzled Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I learned this the hard way... I have 20lbs of soap that I made (several batches ) that I made with non-deodorized... never thought the scent would pull through my FO's.. and now I have what we refer in the house as the "chocolate incident" .. months and months later, the soap has a strong chocolate smell.. and it doesn't mix well with the FO scents.. Uhg.. live and learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhg.. live and learn Yes, it is a strong chocolate smell and it sells very well. I can see it being a disaster with many FOs. However, non-deodorized is incredible with some FOs. It is great with many berry scents or mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodle Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 It is particularly incredible with raspberry- blueberry too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
