How can I make the scent linger longer? My customers said that they like the my soaps BUT the scent doesn't stay with them once they are finished bathing. Does anyone have any suggestions?
TessV said:Some soap fragrances just plain don't stick to the skin after a shower or bath, a lot of them are gone as soon as you're done bathing. I can only name a handful of mine, off the top of my head, that I can still smell on my skin after I dry off, so it's not that you're doing anything wrong, imo. If they really want to have the scent stick with them through the day, maybe they can try a scented lotion, or maybe a spray or roll on with the same fragrance oil.

@ nattynoo, I agree, it is wash off product but some of the customers say that they want the scent to stay with them after they are finished bathing. I'm afraid that too much F/O would cause skin problems and batch problems.nattynoo said:I think patchouli EO is about the only smell that sticks around for me.
It annoys me too but....
U know what they say.......it is a wash off product!!
I don't know about ideal amount since people's preferences vary, but for your size batch I would have used 4.9 ozs.mrsksanders said:@soapbuddysoapbuddy said:How much scent are you using PPO?
I'm using 4oz per 7# batch. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. What is the ideal amount to use? I'm still a newbie.
Thanks!

It could be the recipe used, but I use SL in every batch with no scent problems.Bubbles Galore said:Yes, clay does help. I'm just trying to figure out if sodium lactate makes the scent diminish.
Sweetcakes "Clean" is really strong and seems to stick really well, no matter what. :wink:
