Stinky soap!

[Estintre]

I made beautiful soap, from my own recipe.
And I used this nice smelling Jasmine scent. It’s beautiful in the bottle or in my bath bombs but the soap… stinks

It really does.
Can I make something else out of it?
Or this is a bin?

It sure is pretty soap. Hopefully the fragrance will mellow out as the soap ages.

Some fragrances relax as they age. Don’t give up on it just yet.

Gorgeous soap. If you had any dairy in the recipe the bad smell will subside. And as @Kari Howie @The_Phoenix stated fragrance oils can start out strange and in a bit they completely turn into something lovely. Check soap in a week and see how it smells then.

There was no dairy in this soap.
Funny about the smell of things. I’m making soap which everybody likes, the scent had great reviews but for me it’s horrible and gives me headaches. But this one I took to work and let other people smell it to see is this just me but not. Everyone says it is not pleasant.
At the moment this soap is 3.5 weeks.

Such a beautiful soap! Have you gone back to the FO company website to read the others review on the product? Is it suitable for CP soap?

From the website:
“Along with functioning as an intriguing candle making scent, this fragrance is skin safe for bath and body products, including melt and pour soap bases, cold process soaps, lotions, creams, air freshener and body splash bases, potpourri, and potpourri refresher oils.”

I’ve read somewhere about solid scrub bars which are made with soap base. Would this be suitable?

I just recently made a soap with an evergreen scent layered in. All the reviews say they love it, but it fades terribly after 30 days, and they wish they had used more. So, I used the max, and it's so strong it crosses my eyeballs every time I smell it, but if it does fade off, it'll be lovely. I'm nervously waiting the full 30 days.

I've had some fragrances that totally change after 4-5 weeks, for better and worse.

Unless you need to get rid of it, I would give it a full five weeks before waiving the white flag.

If it's still really awful by then, there are plenty of ways to repurpose it, you can grate it or chop it and add it to a new soap, Ciaglia & Confetti Soaps but you'll still have to deal with the smell coming back.

I've also discovered https://ecosoapbank.org/about/sending-soap

I have soap bits, odd bars, ends, and full batches that have scents I just don't like that I send here. You pay to send it, but the payment is to help pay for education and processing. It's a really good mission.

Was this FO designed to be used in HP/CP soap? You might want to consider M&P soap for it.
