anyone try and of these?
breakfast at tiffanys
black canyon
coconut lime verbena
nag champa
pink sugar
georgia peach
I just ordered, i like their fos, did NOT like "mary jane" it was a big joke at hubbys office, my hubby threw some in back of partners truck, he didnt know what that horrible smell was!Then his partner hid some in my hubbys office, bad smell, wonder if the drug dogs would think it was weed

i really like the nag champa! about the 3rd week it really hits it's groove.

i've only soaped a few but they were good-asian sandalwood, eucalyptus, nag champa, lavender and a couple others that memory fails me.

oh my fo's came, i LOVE them all, thay also gave me a free full ounce of pomegranite, so 11 bottles for 20$
peach smells so good, i just made breakfast at tiffanys!

Love the pink sugar!! I soaped with pomace olive oil and it came out kinda tan. I am not sure if it was the fo or the pomace. Probably the fo. But it smells wonderful!!! I used .5 ppo since that is all I had enough for in my 4lb batch. No acceleration either.

good to know about pink sugar, the breakfast at tiffanys acc trace major!

[Kitn]

I love pink sugar too, no problem to soap at all.

[honor435]

love all the fos i got, the "breakfast at tiffianys" is devine, caramel/ maple smelling, they sent me a free pomegranite, i used it yesterday, it is awesome! Black canyon is a good manly smell, peach is very peachy! Pink sugar is good, although very sweet for my liking. Nag champa smells very good, cant wait to soap that one. Im very pleased with this company. 10 ,1 ounce bottles for 20$.

Here's my soapy scents worth from Peak

Pink Sugar-not a favorite of mine. Performed well in CP though. Did discolor but no acceleration.

Juniper Breeze- A dead on copy of BBW. No A or D

Coconut Lime Verbena- Very Lime-y. May want to add additional Coconut scent in next batch. No A or D. UPDATE: with a week of cure time under it, overbearing limeyness is fading and more sweetness has manifested.

Nag Champa-lovely earthy crunchy floral. really like this one. Colored with orange ultramarine came out a deep carrot color.

Wild Mnt Honey-very nice honey fragrance with a touch of floral. Performed great in CP at 100*. Slight yellowish tint coming out but fitting for this scent.

Gardenia- Very good performer. Had lots of time to play with color. If you love gardenia blossoms you'll surely love this fragrance.**As the cat has decided to lay ontop of the mold for his afternoon nap, although if you asked him he say he is guarding it. lol. I haven't been able to peak in and look for discoloration yet.

Will update list as they get made:
Mountain Lake
Vanilla Passion
Fr. Van Amber
Red Clove
Orange

Thanks for your reviews I've ordered a number of those scents and I am really glad that they've worked or smelled good for you. Better odds for me XD.

hey,

possible stupid question,

how much of Peak Fragrances are required per LB of CP soap?

[kimberlynn]

I've used as little as .5 of an ounce per lb of oils with good success.

[TomDillinger]

^ cool, thanks for the info

[honor435]

I like my soaps strong, i always use 1 oz per lb, but like nag champa and some of the stronger ones you could use .7, the only time i use .5 is with hp,
