Question: do certain oils retain fragrances better than others?
last night, I made a batch of my HP soap....and used my typical amount of my favorite FO. Today, I cut my soap, and noticed that the scent was much less strong than what it typically is? The only difference in the soap I made last night was using less palm kernel oil, and using a much higher Shea butter content. I calculated the correct lye /water ratios, and the HP was normal....but the scent was much weaker.
Has anyone ever experienced this? Do certain oils not retain scents?
