Your experiences with WSP's Drakkar Noir

[lenarenee]

I read many of the reviews on WSP's website for Drakkar Noir, but wasn't prepared for what I got - triple ugly brownish purple.

A few of the reviews mentioned slight or some discoloration. I used lard and tallow that contain preservatives and that makes me wonder if that affected the discoloration, or has anyone else
experienced such an odd discoloring?

Did you use any colorant at all? I haven't used it but I'm filing away this bit of information.

No colorant at all. I was hoping for a white soap. Or beige. Tan. Brown even, and would have done a simple pencil line if trace hadn't gone from 0 to 60 in 10 seconds. I used castor, co, lard, tallow.

I use lard with preservatives and it doesn't cause any discoloration. I've not used this FO though. I would Email SWP and see if maybe they changed the formula lately or if they might have a idea what happened.

Sorry, haven't used WSP's. I've used NG's and didn't care for it at all. Never bought any others. I would email them and ask for sure.

I've used It and it always discolors, I usually get a purplish color.

Thought I'd update this: I stuck these ugly bars in the back of a cabinet and left them there until last week when I was emptying out old bars. They are now an ivory color, the scent stuck well so I'm able to give them away and the guys are loving the smell.

It must be a nice soap by now. I almost thought you were referencing the song in your thread title.
