Application & Testing:

Please conduct your own testing to ensure the suitability, compatibility, and stability of this fragrance oil in your cold processed soap. Results may vary due to differences in ingredients, oils used, processes, and ambient conditions. Testing should be performed in accordance with IFRA guidelines for all intended applications. The findings from our testing are provided as a reference and do not guarantee identical performance in your products.

Acceleration:  Slow – remains fluid for an extended time, suitable for intricate designs

Ricing:  None observed. 

Separation:  None observed.

Gel phase:  None observed.

Discolouration: Very slight – almost unnoticeable; may not require any colour adjustment

Suitable for:  This fragrance oil is well-suited for detailed swirls, complex multi-colour designs, or any technique requiring extended working time. Its minimal discolouration makes it ideal for light and pastel-coloured soaps where colour integrity is important. Works well for:

- High-detail swirls (drop swirl, hanger swirl, Taiwan swirl).

- Multi-layer designs with consistent colour tones.

- Embeds or inlays where maintaining light colour is essential.

For best results: 

Soap at room temperature.

Bring oils and lye to light/medium trace depending on your design requirements.

Add fragrance oil and blend gently to avoid accelerating trace unnecessarily. 

Additional note:

This fragrance retains its scent well through cure, holding a clean, uplifting profile without noticeable fading.

Works exceptionally well for wedding or spa-themed soaps where a light, elegant fragrance is preferred.

Due to its slow trace and minimal discolouration, it can be combined with other fragrances that are prone to acceleration or darkening to balance their behaviour.

The crisp top notes and soft musky base make it versatile for year-round collections, pairing beautifully with white, cream, pastel, or softly marbled colour palettes.

Performs well in both full water and water-discounted recipes without seizing.
