I made this Nag Champa batch about 24 hrs ago. Blended very very well. Smells amazing, the orris infusion adds a little creaminess. But it has a pinkish color on the outside like a cheese block and some brown specks. The specks may be from: Moroccan clay? Orris root? Aloe vera juice with the lye water that separated from the batch?? Is it too early to tell? I've seen soaps darken up after they have been a few days.

Your thoughts. :arrow:

I like the specks! Not sure what they're from, but I think they add character. I looooooove Nag Champa. I think heaven must smell of it. I made a batch yesterday, and I should have made a bigger batch, because it's all spoken for already, and there won't be any left for me......wah! Mine usually darkens to a medium brown. I hope you get to keep some of your batch just for you. Nice soap! :clap:

I already know these are going to be gone as soon as they dry.The living room smells like the currently drying batches: Nag Champa, Mocha biscotti, magnolia, iris, pine tar and chamomile. ::: UNREAL :::
