I remember a few years ago seeing a Spicy Lime FO that sounded really good, but now I can't remember who offered it! I thought it was Sweet Cakes, but I don't see it there.
Anyone have a clue?

Why not just buy lime EO and mix with a mint EO? These aren't that expensive.
I ask this because I've been very disappointed with the FOs I've bought (admittedly not many). If I can, I always buy the EO. To me there's no comparison.
Not the OP but many of us use FO as many EO's don't stick in CP and customers like other scents that you can't get with EO. I and a lot of others prefer using FO's as they stick and customers can get scents like Love Spell, Black Raspberry Vanilla and Cotton Candy.
Though not spicy, of 1 part spearmint and 2 parts lime EOs, makes a good blend.
No, smoke point and flashpoint don't really have much to do with a scent sticking in soap or not. It's more about safety and sparks. There are several threads about it on the forum.Good point. Is it something about the smoke point?
I agree, and I find Lime EO is not a good sticker like most citrus. That is why I like the Lemongrass FO from Cal Candle it sticks and smells delicious. It also smells good in his candles.No, smoke point and flashpoint don't really have much to do with a scent sticking in soap or not. It's more about safety and sparks.

I'm one that simply will not use EO in soap. I feel it is a waste as I've only found a very few that will still more than 6 months, and even those tend to fade within the year, so for me, and my applications, it is just not worth it.
The lime I got from SMR when they were in business, IMO was one of the ones I found to stick like glue - one of the very few EO's. I usually use this lime EO in my beer soaps and it'll stick for up to a year or so (albeit very light by then) - I find most others - especially all other citrus - are gone before the cure is even over. Which is why as a general rule I just do not use EO's. For me Lime is actually the only exception.I agree, and I find Lime EO is not a good sticker like most citrus.

I don't have much problem with fragrance oils, very few IME fade to nothing, but EO's are very difficult to work with. I can't work with them at all in my candles, and they fade in soap, so they are just not worth my time or effort for the most part.I believe that getting a scent to "fix" truly is the darkest of all perfumery arts.

Several - Vanilla silk from NG, Vanilla Milk from Mad Oils/Arizona, French Vanilla from Peak(out of business now unless they have reopened but not sure it'd be the same), And many more, but I'd have to go to my lab (basement) to look them up.Do you have a vanilla FO that you recommend? I bought one off Ebay and I think it smells like cheap 1950s hair oil.
