Teach Soap

Wow, talk about STRONG. This is the strongest FO I have used thus far. I did not use this alone, but it is so dominant I'm going to add my thoughts on the Cherry* alone. The blend I used (all NG):

Cherry 9 grams (20%)
Almond 17 grams (40% - have used this alone and it sticks pretty well)
Coconut 17 grams (40% - has a reputation for fading per reviews)

But the Cherry is very much the dominant scent - at less than 1% of the oils, its strong - you could stretch this FO pretty far alone, or in a blend. My house smelled like a huge vat of cherry cough syrup exploded all over the place - from a mere 9 grams! It works for what I am looking for, but be advised its not a fresh "fruity" cherry, but very much a "cough syrup, lollipop or Cherry Life Saver" smell.

Did not accelerate trace.


*This is the plain old "Cherry" FO - not the Black Cherry, or any other cherry type.

Thanks for the heads up, I have it here to use and will keep that in mind.

Update: started using soap from this batch. The cherry scent has mellowed considerably - it is now at a perfect amount IMHO - nice and sticky but not headache inducing. If you were to use this FO for a die-hard, "cherry fiend" - you could probably use more than I did. But the soap will probably need its own room to cure in!

NG Bite Me = Cough Syrup too. Same cherry type gagging smell.

I have not found a good true cherry and I've looked for years.
