I made some lovely soap and bath bombs, which were chocolate scented and smelled lovely, with the scent lingering on your skin.

I made them a few months ago, and recently got them out to discover the scent was nowhere near as strong. It used to really hit you between the eyeballs, now you have to sniff really hard to get a whiff!

Any ideas to help make the scents last longer? Or do I just need to buy better quality FOs? Are there any ingredients I might include which help hold scents?

Items I've made with more essential oils do seem to last longer, but some scents just don't come like that (I'm working on a retro sweetshop range...). I really want to make sure the fragrances last!

Thanks... Magia x

What was the amount of the FO you used PPO? Where did the FO's come from?

I'm pretty sure they were from here... http://www.soapbasics.com/contents/en-uk/d34.html

Though I'm not planning to get more from there, as they have a member of staff who appears to really not like customers... I find her rude and unprofessional. Grrr!

I'll probably get them from http://www.sensoryperfection.co.uk in the future. The FOs I'm planning to use for the retro sweetshop thing are from sensory perfection, so maybe those will be better, though I'd like to be sure before I use them up if I can!

I used maybe... 1-2 millilitres in a standard loaf tin batch. It smelt great at the time...!
:(

From your question... is it likely to be the brand that's the problem then?

I'm just remembering now that the Lime and Kiwi fragrance oil I bought from here https://www.soapkitchenonline.co.uk/aca ... SPICY.html still smells pretty good. I actually rebatched some soaps I had into a different mould a couple of weeks ago and they still smelt amazing. I used some EOs alongside them... but you can still smell the FO really well too.
