I am an EO girl. At least for the last six years...But, ever since I started to make cake soaps, I fell in love with delicious FO scents! I mostly have used them in my MP soaps.
But I don't have much of experience of using FOs in CP and I am afraid of discoloration, seizing, fast tracing in CP soaps. I have used a couple of FOs, but I have not had much luck in CP soaps. For that reason, I am bit hesitant to use it in CP soaps.
Many of you guys have seen already my Buttermilk Piped Rose soap.

Actually, it does not smell like cake at all. It's an EO blend of lavender, rosemary & teatree. I love this rose cakes and I am planning to make more of them.
I now need a perfect FO scent for this cake. I know that pretty much all cake FOs will discolor my soap due to the vanilla content in the FOs. And I'll have to use the vanilla color stabilizer to keep the white color. But how long will it last?
What FO will go well with this cake soap? I'd rather not use the vanilla color stabilizer if all possible. Personally, it does not have to smell like a cake either as long as a great FO matches this cake.
Any suggestions? Please help! Thanks a lot!
