Hello Folks:

I greatly love the smell of cloves.

To that end, I want to create a clove soap. However, I understand that Clove EO accelerates extremely rapidly.

Can anyone recommend tips and tricks for working with it in order to successfully get the batter into the mold?

Recipe dos and don'ts?
Special techniques?

Also, what should I use to anchor the scent?

Many, many thanks for any suggestions!

Do the soap as HP, then add it after the cook. Make sure that you use it in a small amount as it can be irritating to the skin. You should not need an anchor. Clove oil by itself is strong.

I like to mix clove w grapefruit, or any citrus, but I particularly like grapefruit. Clove is a base note, & citrus EOs are almost always top notes. It's always good to try to mix a top note w/ a base or a middle note.

Usually I don't have all three-top, mid, n base note- that harmonize, but I can always find two...
