Pineapple Cilantro

[Obsidian]

Made a christmas batch of pineapple cilantro. Smells amazing and I got a few interesting swilrls

Just noticed the discoloration is starting on the tops

I use a lime cilantro fragrance oil in neem soap. It's surprisingly good although it's more lime than cilantro to my nose. But maybe the neem has something to do with that. I think I'd like pineapple cilantro too. Do you think there's a good balance between the pineapple and the cilantro?

I like how the green swirls make a swoopy vertical pattern -- very nice.

Thanks @DeeAnna it is a nice balance between pineapple and something else. Cilantro is a scent I just don't pick up in FO but there is obviously more then just pineapple going on.

Maybe after its cured some the cilantro will be more pronounced. Fresh soap is so strong, It can be hard to differentiate notes for me.

Beautiful soap!

Yeah, I get it about the cilantro part. The lime-cilantro FO I've been using has a green smell for sure, but not really cilantro. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

It will darken Obsidian, but not to a dark brown from what I remember. It is really not a cilantro smell but is more a green smell. I always loved the fragrance. Your swirls turned out pretty and will show up.

Its starting to darken up some now. I'll post a update of the final color once they stop.

The scent if evening out now too and I can smell the green more. Still not getting cilantro but it does have a slightly spicy undertone.
