Peak Banana Nut Bread

[kharmon320]

This was my "free" sample with my 30 samples I ordered. I made an oatmeal, milk, & honey soap but wanted a "little" foody scent. OOB, this was very sweet, soft banana, definitely bakery scent. Only added the 1 oz sample to 43 oz of oil, but smells really good. This one is gelling extremely hot, hoping it doesn't crack. I didn't smell any spicy notes OOB, but now it has a very pleasant spice note.

Slight acceleration, but I soaped a little warm. I'll post an update about discoloration, but I'm expecting it.

Kerrie -

Thanks for posting. This was my free scent, too. I loved the smell but I thought who'd want soap that smells like banana nut bread? I'm interested in hearing back how it turns out for you.

I thought I'd try it in soy melts and my sister suggested it might be a fun scent in incense. I don't know about that but I'm sure it will be great in soy.

LOVE this one. It's not very banana-y. It's extremely delicious and bakery types LOVE it.

But it does cure to a super dark brown.

Carebear- Thanks for the info. I took some pics this morning, but yes it's already darkening up. I'll be bummed if it ends up really dark. I haven't yet "embraced" the brown soaps Oh well, it does smell nice with only the faintest hint of banana. I only used the 1oz in 43 oz of oil, so less than 0.4oz/ppo. Just wanted a touch of scent. I'll post some pics in the gallery.

a super dark brown? Interesting..not that I mind of course, just surprised it would go that dark. Mine was a free sample too and I used gm with it...went into gel mode within minutes! I like this one too..mmm!

 

[carebear]

yup - super dark brown IME.
and if memory serves, it's a heater.

I received this one too as my free sample also. I'm not much on the bakery type scents for soap though. Seems a lot of my customers go for the fruity type scents.

This was my free sample as well, and the same exact thought passed through my mind, too. Well, I quickly got an answer to that silent question when my teenage son smelled the FO, practicaly swooned, then begged me to make him a soap with it! So....I guess it looks like I'll be making banana nut bread soap afterall.

A big thank you to all that posted their experiences soaping it. It's always good to know what I'm in for.

That's funny. My 7yo boy smelled it and wrinkled up his nose. He said he did not like that one.

funny, we must have all got it for our freebie! I havent made it, daughter(25) said she'd love soap in that smell.

I think they either send out what they want to promote or they want to get rid of the FO.

I must say I've been happy with all my freebies so far. I really liked the spiced cranberry.

The soap has darkened slightly, but it's not dark brown yet. It's only slightly darker than my OMH I made previously. It also got really hot, so it's a medium orangy-brown. However, I just smelled it again..no banana scent, only a subtle spice scent. Goes well with the soap.
