coffeebean Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I love the smell of cocoa butter, & would love to try to make a cp soap that would also smell like it. Before I go ordering the fo has anybody ever tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) I know a fragrance that smells just like Hersheys cocoa. Its called Cocoa Therapy from Fillmore Containers. I've only tried it in M&P so far and its divine. But cocoa butter smells like Hersheys cocoa and butter to me. I would definitely use the unrefined cocoa butter in your soap and add some Hershey's cocoa scent to it. I'd also go one step further and put in some real Hershey's cocoa powder in it. Now I'm getting hungry! LOL Edited February 22, 2012 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeebean Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Wow are we going to bath with this or eat it lol?!?! All this sounds real yummy. I looked all over but never found a supplier selling "cocoa butter fo" Next time I'm in Lancaster I'm going to check out Fillmore for that scent you suggested thanks.

powderblueboutique Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 majestic mountain sage has chocolate mousse, smells pretty darn close to what you want. P.S If I have time I am using that tonight! company coming...don't think it will happen need to clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) I just have to mention NOT to use the cocoa butter FO from SC. It smells nice OOB, but it is the worst FO that I have ever used in CP. I do not have bad batches happen often at all, so I was puzzled. I gave this FO three tries too many with different recipes. I had the worst seizures of my life with this oil. On the SC site, they mention "a couple of soaping customers have emailed us to let us know they think it's highly touchy." What an understatement! But at least they mention it. I find it hard to believe that "a couple" of customers had trouble with it.

soycrazy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 That is a bummer noodle that's the only one I can find online. BC sells a chocolate syrup, maybe that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderblueboutique Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Just reiderating the chocolate mousse I posted from above incase you didn't see it soycrazy. I literally smelled the bag of cocoa butter then took a sniff of the oil, I trully could not tell a difference at all (aside from synthetic vs. natural). I have not used it in cp, used it in hp. If I can use it tonight, or atleast soon, will let ya all know. chocolate syrup might work, but I think dark chocolate, which has a totally different smell. I lovee mms oils. you only need to use.25 to .35 oz ppo. I stick more towards .35 scent junky here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yes, it is a bummer about the SC oil. I can tell you that it smells exactly like cocoa butter, which in my opinion smells like unsweetened chocolate. Perhaps a dark chocolate scent of some sort will work great.

soycrazy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) That does sound nice noodle. I bet it would be awesome in liquid soap or cream soap too. I usually do a blend with cocoa absolute, yes it's expensive, but I loves it lol.BTW I absolutely love sweet scents, but it seems like all the vanilla type scents in cp get a chemical smell in them for some reason.

coffeebean Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks for the heads up on the oil from sc :-)As for the chocolate mousse, I'm definitely going to check it out, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I trully could not tell a difference at all (aside from synthetic vs. natural).What do you mean aside from synthetic vs natural? Do synthetic and natural smell different somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderblueboutique Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 a synthetic ester vs. a natural ester will have a different smell, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The cocoa butter oil from SC is lovely in MP soap and liquid soaps. I have not tried it in lotions or butters. Perhaps others have had success with it in CP. (I would love to know what they did differently.) I soaped this oil three times with different recipes and all three were unsalvageable disasters.

Candybee Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 SC is Sweetcakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Yes, SC is Sweetcakes. I adore all of their oils, but the cocoa butter oil is terrible in my opinion.On the SC site, they state the following regarding the cocoa butter FO: "Our sample of this fragrance performed beautifully in CP soap, but a couple of soaping customers have emailed us to let us know they think it's highly touchy. We're working with the perfumer to try to figure out why it's quickening trace in larger batches." I want to know what the heck they did to have this oil perform beautifully! We all have had batches that did not work out, but all three of mine were nightmares to say the least when using this FO.Anyway, the cocoa butter FO smells great in lotions and butters too. I totally forgot that I smelled this oil in two lotion products from another soaper. This was the main reason that I decided to buy it. Some one was nice enought to send me a sniffy.

Candybee Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Did you try a smaller batch? I notice they mentioned larger batches are having problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
