Do you like it?
I for some reason was not so impressed. Was ok OOB and ok in soap. Worked better for me in Salt bars for selling. Well to be honest it sold well in soap too but the Salt bars in that scent flew off the shelf lol

@KiwiMoose - yay. Hope you like it. I like it. It sells pretty well for me when I make it.

I had my 25 year old step daughter up from Wellington yesterday and I asked her what flavour soaps she liked. She said fruity. I said she could choose a couple to take home. She chose lime and coconut (which smells mostly of coconut) and black raspberry and vanilla.

Lol I’m the same way. I really like fruity scents. I think my first soap was actually black raspberry vanilla scented I haven’t tried lime and coconut yet though... sounds pretty good

Can't abide lavender. Can't believe anyone does. Surely we can't be smelling the same thing they do (like jasmine and the whole skunk/coffee thing).

I have bought three different lavender essential oils, the 40/42, bulgarian, and population. The last two smelled very similar and the first time I smelled them I disliked them. I did not understand the good reviews, smelled more herbal than floral. However, I like the 40/42 which is more of a sweet floral. I dislike jasmine and most strong florals though. I should say that over time, the bulgarian lavender started to grow on me, so I tolerate it but would not use it in soap.

I bought lavender FO recently - french lavender. It smells way nicer (sweeter) than the lavender grossi EO that I have. I'm not a lavender fan myself.

It is very youthful it smells like a pixie stick out of the bottle but it cures to a very nice tart/sweet floral. I love it.

Unfortunately, it is not phthalate free. I wish they would make more FOs that are phthalate free. It would open up what choices I have.
