I made a one pound tester batch yesterday, using my regular recipe, no color, and 1oz of Just Scents' Coconut Extreme FO.

It got very hot...gelled on its own, even though left uncovered and uninsulated in a very cold basement, on the table, propped up on spacers for underneath air circulation.

Checked at one hour - discolored to an uneven,ugly coppery brown, 1/8" inch of oil on top of the soap.

Next morning - oil is all reabsorbed, texture appears normal, color is the same ugly, uneven brown.

But here is the kicker: NO SMELL, None at all. How disappointing. I will give it a few weeks to see if it magically reappears during cure.

I bought this because I read a very good review of it on another forum.
I will wait it out and let you know what happens.
Fingers crossed.

I REALLY need a decent coconut!!!! AARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH ! :cry:

Me, too. The one I currently use does not smell like coconut to me after cure...but I label it as coconut and it sells like mad. I just can't get happy with that., tho... I want to be proud of the coconut soap I sell, not just (secretly) shrug my shoulders at the gullibility of people who will think it smells like what you TELL them it smells like!

True that. The one I use now is from WSP.

Luanne had one called "coconut milk" from Peak. Supposedly it disappears at first, then a couple weeks later comes back quite strongly. We shall see! It did smell super yummy!

I have some of that...I just assumed it would discolor, since it has a lot of vanilla. And it was $$$$, so....I save it for mp.

Here's a picture of my Coconut Milk FO from Peak. I used a little Cinnamon Oxide too. This was poured on Sunday afternoon. I took it out of the mold on Tuesday afternoon and cut on Wednesday afternoon. I'm liking the fragrance so far. Not overpowering, which I like. Hopefully the picture attached.

It says my file is too big and that maximum allowed is 25KiB. My pic is 1.86MB. I'm technically challenged, so don't know what to do to change that.

Hopefully this worked. Don't know how to make it smaller.

UPDATE on the original post:

The soap now smells exactly like sugar cookies. Nice, but definitely NOT coconut.
Maybe it will continue to change...?
