Okay, I finally caved to all the overwhelming reviews of Dragon's Blood. I ordered the DB from Nature's Garden about 4 months ago, but couldn't get over the powderiness (?) of it. I'm thinking it's amber that I'm averse to. Whenever a description includes amber or musk, I imagine that powdery smell. However, I've been dying to experiment with colors in this one, so I bit the bullet. I also had 2oz from CandleScience, but we all agreed the NG version smelled better OOB.
I used 1oz/ppo (which is on the heavy side for me). It smells good, pleasant, but it's a lot lighter than I expected. I don't know if it will come back after a week or so. It's been 4 days and it just keeps getting lighter. I colored the soap with charcoal and various red colorants, so I can't really tell if it discolored.
I may try the CS version to compare how well they stick. Anyone else have a problem with NG's version sticking?
