Can FO's smell different in MP than in CP?

I bought Rio Rumberry from Elements and had high hopes for this one. I used it yesterday and put it in MP to try it in the bath, so hopefully I could go on and use it in CP.

After I used it, my son hugged me and said I smelled like a crayon. OOB it smells awesome, but when I wash with it, it leaves a weird waxy, almost powdery plastic smell. Could this go away in CP? Or do you think it would change if I added kaolin clay to MP?

I don't make MP, but I know that in CP, sometimes a scent will smell weird the first few days after I make the soap. Give it a few days (or even a few weeks) and smell it.

I have had FOs that were sort of "meh" in lotion but really blossomed in CP. So I do think that CP can affect FOs.

Yes it can definately smell different in mp since the lye is not attacking it. My daughter works with M&P only and many times I give her fragances that either do not hold in my cp or the fo morphs to much, but can be very nice in m&p

Most definitely yes. I have a few FOs that I love OOB, but absolutely hate in CP because they morph. I use these in other products so they don't morph. I also have a few vice versa that I hate OOB and in non-lye products, but love in CP (cough WSP OMH cough).

What does the MP soap that you used smell like on its own?

It just smells like soap. It's the Brambleberry clear soap base.
