My brother is in Seattle and misses the desert. He asked me to try to make creosote soap. I have an infusion going but wondering if anyone here has made this and how did you get the scent to stick. Thank you!

I wanted to give this review as I had great success despite it being a floral. The NG reviews were accurate as it is a hand stir only/ soap cool. Cool for me is 100 degrees. I measured the oil and lye for each layer seperately. Added the FO to the warm oils and hand stirred while adding the...

So I make a rose soap with BB English rose fo that I am the only person who likes it apparently. I decided to re-do it last night as a patchouli rose using fragrance buddy patchouli passion. I had ricing, separating and soap on a stick within minutes at 110 degrees. It smells amazing but it...

Does anyone have one of these in real life for a soap curing rack? My husband told me it'd be cheaper to buy it then buy everything to make it. And I'm super limited on space so thought this would be a good fit. Ideas? Thoughts? Bueller?
