Scent is one of the most powerful of our five senses. Smelling a fragrance can trigger a treasured memory and provoke enjoyable thoughts. When designing products, consider how your customers will use your products. Will they be washed off? Will they be used to fragrance a home? Will they be used in conjunction with other products and how will those scents smell when combined? Consider complimenting your scent with coordinating colors.

Directions:
To Determine The Amount of Fragrance Oil Used In A Product:
The amount of fragrance that should be used in a formulation depends on three factors:
1) The maximum amount of scent the product base will accept .
2) The maximum IFRA skin safe level.
3) The amount of fragrance that smells good in your product.
You will look at these three maximum guidelines and use the LOWEST percentage.
For example: Desired smell is 5%, making MP soap is 3%, and the IFRA max use is 15%. You should not use more than 3% in your product. This 3% is the lowest of all of those numbers.
Maximum Product Base Guidelines:
MP Soap: 3%
CP, HP, CPOP Soap: 6%
Lotions and Scrubs: 1 – 2%
Bath Salts, Fizziest & Tub Soaks: 5-10%
Candle Wax: 6-12% (see specific wax for exact levels)
To Determine The IFRA Guidelines:
IFRA is a self-regulating trade organization that together with the industry's scientific center RIFM (the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials), establishes usage safety standards for materials that comprise fragrance and essential oils. Each year IFRA updates their standards based on sound science.
Wholesale Supplies Plus updates IFRA documents annually so that customers can stay up-to-date with the latest science. If you find IFRA levels have changed for your formula, it is standard to take 2 years to update products in the market. You can find Wholesale Supplies Plus IFRA documents on the “documents” tab of this product page.
Additional Information:
Fragrance oils that contain vanilla or vanillin will change color. The color change can take days, weeks, or months and can vary from a light ivory to dark brown. Our Crafter’s Choice Vanilla Color Stabilizers and Crafter’s Choice Vanilla Color Neutralizer will prevent some products from changing color. Oils that are dark in color, contain floral notes or spices may in time naturally change color.

"Smells like a cookie!" |
|
COMMENTS: I used this to make a beer soap and the smell is like a fresh oatmeal cookie. I thought the scent would be more masculine but the women like it more than the guys do. It did cause my soap to accelerate quickly so be ready to pour into your mold right after blending.

"LOVE the smell, but it accelerates trace" |
|
COMMENTS: This is a yummy scent. Smells like oatmeal cookies to me. I used it in my tried and true CP Soap recipe and it immediately starting seizing. Ended up shoveling and cramming it into my mold, but I doubt it will come out good enough for me to sell. It smells too darn good to throw out, so I expect this will be a soap gifted to family and friends.

"Oatmeal Stout Beer Soap FO" |
|
COMMENTS: There is nothing that I don't like about this wonderful scent. It is a staple in my fragrance oils and I used it mixed with other scents or alone for my beer soaps. Oat & hops. Men especially love it. Does turn a nice shade of rich dark brown.

"Mmmm..." |
|
COMMENTS: I love the scent of this fragrance oil, although it's not as yeasty/beery as I would have thought. It has a very nice warm, masculine scent, without being like a cologne. It did make my cold process soap darker as it cured. I'm going to try it out in candles next.

"Smells Amazing...but hard to use with CP" |
|
COMMENTS: To me, this smells just like a spiced oatmeal cookie. The smell is intoxicating. HOWEVER, it made my batch of cold processed soap start to separate in the mold :/ Luckily, I saw the oil starting to pool on the top, so I hot processed it with the stick blender and it came back together. So, I will only be using it in HP soap from now on...and I will throw it in at the end after I add my "extra ingredients" after the cook.

|
COMMENTS: When I first opened the bottle and smelled a very sweet cookie like fragrance I had to look back at the name to make sure that it wasn't the cookie one I ordered. I like the fragrance for a cookie smell but definitely don't smell any stout at all.

"Smells nothing like beer" |
|
COMMENTS: This smells almost exactly like an oatmeal cookie. I smell oats, cinnamon, and sweetness, and it smells GOOD, but nothing like beer. Not even remotely. I tried adding a bunch of coffee seed oil, which helped somewhat, but couldn't salvage the lotion bars I made. Disappointed.

"Absolutely Love the Scent - Misbehaves Though!" |
|
COMMENTS: I have been so excited to make a beer line of bath and body products. My hubby got me every single thing on my 'Wish List' for Christmas (best presents EVER) and low and behold, WSP's beer fragrances were in the box!
I made my first few batches today, making them in 1 pound batches to 'practice' with not only replacing water with beer but also test ways to deal with how impish WSP's beer fragrances are in CP. So, for this fragrance oil specifically, I started my batch with a very robust, dark oatmeal stout that I boiled down the night before to remove the alcohol. I formulated my CP recipe with 80% soft oils/20% hard, did not discount my water (beer), and soaped at room temp. Everything was going beautifully. Then, I added the fragrance and it began to accelerate. I did not mess around with a smaller or detailed mold, simply because I do not envision beer soap as 'pretty and dainty.' Opting for my loaf mold, I found that my 'game plan' was effective in ensuring I had enough time to get everything smoothly into the mold...but it still hardened up within about three minutes of pour so work carefully but quickly.

"Expect it to accelerate." |
|
COMMENTS: My first impression on this FO was good! I really liked the smell right out of the jar. My final bar was absolutely delicious! Some reviewers say that they couldn't pick out the beer, but I could.
Naturally, I paired this scent with a hearty stout replacing the water. Maybe that helped keep the beer smell in my final product?
I started with the CP method but had to switch to HP. Do not expect to do ANYTHING fancy once you add the FO. This one seized up straight away and started pushing out puddles of oil. Just "whip it good" and make sure to prepare your crockpot ahead of time!
I did toss in some oatmeal while it was in the crockpot just to help with the texture, that may have helped absorb some of the oil it was expelling. I also think it may have helped the soap hold the fragrance.
Luckily, everything turned out great! The bar did discolor to a beautiful earthy brown. Which worked for me, but would probably need a vanilla stabilizer if you want a different color.
The bar was very popular and I have ordered more of this "temperamental" FO.

"Not my favorite" |
|
COMMENTS: I used this scent for a batch of cold process goat milk soap. I liked the scent out of the jar at first, but it did not make me think of a stout beer. It smells more like a typical fall pie or baked good scent. I added it to my soap and it seized up pretty darn quickly. I had to spoon it into the mold and I ended up with some air pockets where it didn't settle properly (even with banging the mold). I'm curious to see how the scent does now that the soap is cut and curing. I'm not sure I'll use this one again. If it sells very well, I guess I'll have to deal with the bad behavior in the soap.

COMMENTS: I used this in a batch of cold process soap and immediately upon adding the fragrance, the batch seized. I assume it would be nice in lotions and creams, but for CP, I'll stick with another supplier.

"Smells great - but a stinker to work with" |
|
COMMENTS: Smells great - not like beer though! I had major acceleration but was able to pop it into the mold. However later there was a pool of oil on top. I had to throw it in the crockpot and try again. I've tried this recipe with another brand of Oatmeal Stout several times and it was fine, but this one was not working for me. I love the scent and as do my customers, but be prepared to move quickly. I did do a small batch HP and that seemed to work much better with this FO.

"Significant acceleration and separation" |
|
COMMENTS: I've made a lot of Oatmeal Stout Soap using the same recipe and stout beer. This was my first time using WSP Oatmeal Stout. My oils were 76 degrees and Lye/Beer was 80 degrees, so basically room temperature. Usually, I'm able to make a nice drop swirl with a small amount of TD. I mixed the fragrance into the oils and had significant acceleration when adding the lye. It was manageable... I got it in the mold with a little drop swirl. Unfortunately, and hour after putting it in the oven, I noticed a large pool of oil on top and had no choice but to dig my oatmeal topping off and mix it again in the mold. I hope it set up. If not, I guess it will go in the crock pot tomorrow. Unfortunately, I won't be buying this particular FO from WSP again as I have had better luck with another brand. I really hate leaving a negative review, but this FO is troublesome and really ruined a double batch of what is usually a lovely soap.

"Riced" |
|
COMMENTS: I love the smell of this fragrance. I added the fragrance to the oils to try to avoid the acceleration and soap on a stick mentioned by other reviewers. It didn't accelerate, but riced when I added a 50:50 lye water solution. For the rest of the liquids I used Guiness stout and coconut milk so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. I had to stick blend it quite a bit to get rid of the ricing but I didn't get soap on a stick and was able to pour it into a column mold.

"NIce smell, but not Stout" |
|
COMMENTS: This FO smells just like a B-52 (Kahlua, Baileys, & Grand Marnier) scented candle I had twenty years ago. So I think the name for this FO should be renamed B-52. This fragrance made my soap seize like I'd never seen before! (I also used beer instead of water, with the alcohol still in, so that may have also been a factor) I plopped it into the mold. It turned out fine in the end. I probably would not have purchased this if I had read the reviews more carefully about the seizing. But I have a lot left and may use it in M&P or Liquid Soap, or use more caution.

"Stinks and Soap on a Stick" |
|
COMMENTS: I am sorry to have to do this, but this is the worst fragrance oil I have ever used. First off, in my CP Soap, it did the whole "soap on a stick" accelerating thing. Second, and perhaps most importantly to me, is the smell. It is strong and it is awful! It smells nothing like any kind of beer I've ever had, and it stunk up my whole soap storage room for weeks. I should probably just throw this batch out. 3*/

COMMENTS: This fragrance is very nice even after its cut. It's strong and smells of oatmeal. I think it smells a lot like oatmeal milk and honey. A good seller for me so I think this scent will sell well too!! I didn't give it 5 stars because it definitely moved quickly and I barely had enough time to throw it into the mold. I soap at room temperature. I will use it again though... maybe in M&P this time.

|
COMMENTS: This FO will work in CP soap you must work very, very fast I have soaped at 80* ,90* and 100* with this FO . If you want to color your soap mix everything first add the FO to the largest color amount. DO NOT use a blender this oil needs to be done by hand with a wisp it will seize instant whip it in as you are ready to pour it in your mold. Not for the faint of heart but it is worth the fast pace you need to use it in the end.

"Oatmeal Stout Fragrance Oil" |
|
COMMENTS: I just received this last week. In looking back at some of your Handmade issues, I found a recipe for Oatmeal Stout Beer Soap, which called for this fragrance. What a hoot to make! I actually had to cook down the beer and then make it into ice cubes before making the soap. The soap, incidentally, turned out perfect! Can't wait to do it again! This fragrance is exactly what this recipe looks like!!

"Whew - It sets up FAST!!" |
|
COMMENTS: I give this fragrance 4 stars because it is stubborn to work with BUT it smells awesome - if you want to do cold process with it, plan your design so that the part of your soap scented with it goes in FIRST and FAST. It will seize - think soap on a stick. I read the reviews before I used it & knew it would be a race! I love everything oatmeal/honey so I had to give it a whirl! Used all the tricks I know of to work with it. I divided the base for a lighter top & poured the scent into the other (used smaller amount of the FO) - whisked it FAST and poured. Now I could play with the top! Did a pretty cocoa powder pencil line between the layers. That bottom layer set up very fast... and has turned into a dark honey color - it got hot, went thru a full gel, had to keep an eye on it. And it was worth the effort as it looks & smells awesome! Oh- & I will have to look for a different FO for my beer soaps, as I do not think 'beer' when I smell this!

"Beer Soap" |
|
COMMENTS: We love the smell of this fragrance oil as it is more oatmeal then it is alcohol (I know, hard to explain). We are able to mix this with another fragrance oil to get the exact scent that we want and it compliments it perfectly.

"Quick to trace but a hit with the guys!" |
|
COMMENTS: This fragrance accelerates trace. I quickly ditched my mixer and resorted to mixing by hand. Even then it was too late. I squished the now super thick batter into my mould and hope for the best. The fragrance permeated the house and soon I hear neighbors saying what smells so good as they walk by. The soap had turned a dark brown, but when cut it looked like the cross section of a Reese's peanut butter cup. It did eventually became a uniform brown as it cured. All my guy friends thought it was the BOMB and have asked for more. One said, Finally, a manly scented soap! I'll definitely add this to my men's line.

|
COMMENTS: Didn't really smell like oatmeal stout; a little too sweet and chocolate-heavy. I LOVE stout beer and was really excited about this, but it wasn't really true to stout.

"Smells delicious...however, did rice or seize" |
|
COMMENTS: Followed the directions to a "T". First, had to actually heat the lye in a hot water bath. Mixed to not right before a trace, took out 1 cup for the matte white pigment, gently stirred in the FO and did fine until I just started pouring into the mold and it riced or seized. Quickly poured back into the bowl, remixed and had to "glop" it into the mold. Beat it to death on the counter to try and get it into the corners and get the bubbles out??? The 1 cup of matte white w/o the FO did beautifully!

COMMENTS: This is a great smell for a stout beer soap BUT it does accelerate trace instantly. I would buy oatmeal & honey instead, the fragrances are nearly identical. Oatmeal & honey is much easier to work with.

"Great Aroma - very masculine" |
|
COMMENTS: I have used this fragrance oil 2 times. The first time was a disaster! Preparing to pour a four pound mold, I added 2 oz and it seized so fast, I could not even scoop it out! The second time, I intended to pour a 2 pound mold and with a very light trace, I added 1 oz. Because I expected the mixture to seize, I integrated the fragrance oil quickly but gently. I was not able to pour the batter but I managed to use a spatula to force it into the mold and "squish" it into place. The ends of the block of wretched and unsellable however, the remaining 22 ounces is a winner! A local men's salon is carrying this product and selling it by the ounce.

"Smells great, very hard to work with in CP soap" |
|
COMMENTS: This fragrance smells really nice. However, it seized up completely within 10 seconds of adding the fragrance to my soap. I soaped room temp and used a recipe that doesn't set up quickly, and still had to add water, mash it up, and scoop it into my mold in less than a minute to even get it out of the pot. It's ugly, but I think I saved it. Too bad, really. This is a very nice fragrance, but I don't think it's worth the trouble. A novice soaper will find this nearly impossible to work with in CP soap. I will try the other half of the fragrance I still have left in crockpot HP and see if that works better.

"Ok product" |
|
COMMENTS: I used this in melt and pour soap - can not tell the difference between this fragrance and the oatmeal & honey fragrance (which I use a lot of). I added some honey ale fragrance (bought from another supplier) and it helped a little. Still does not smell like beer, just oatmeal. Still looking for a real beer scent - this one is not it.

COMMENTS: I wanted to make a beer soap, I followed the recipe and everything turned out great. I find this smell a little overpowering and sweet, but the other half LOVES it! He thinks it smells just like a really wheaty hoppy sweet beer. So, I made it for a mens soap, so im happy!

|
COMMENTS: This scent is fantastic! It smells like Guinness beer and an oatmeal raisin cookie. I sold bars of soap made with this scent as they were setting up because people loved the smell so much! Great for men's soap- after all, you can't go wrong with anything that has beer/ale/stout in the name!

"Not in my CP Soap" |
|
COMMENTS: This is a pleasant scent... However….it did not work well for me at all! From the moment I poured the fragrance oil in (soaping at room temp) it began to accelerate to the point that I had to pound it into the mold in a feverish attempt to salvage it or make it less ugly. I will not be using it again in CP soap but maybe in other applications.

"Yum" |
|
COMMENTS: I should have listen to the reviews that said it was almost like a bakery scent. It is a really awesome scent, when I smell it I get little hints of citrus and I just want to keep sniffing. It's also very potent, my whole house smells like it right now. I don't think it smells like stout though, but that might change over time. I made two candles in cut Guinness bottles, for a friend. I love the scent, but it wasn't as masculine as I thought it would be.
I might try it in some HP soap for gifts, but I don't typically use fragrance oils in my soap.

"Such a nice warm scent!" |
|
COMMENTS: This did accelerate trace just a bit, but nothing that was not manageable. Because this contains vanilla I expected it to brown, so I added in the WSP Vanilla Color Stabilizer. This made the soap batter turn Sherbet Orange. It went through a full gel, and the next morning I cut it while it was orange. I thought I'd just market this as a sweet warm honey type, but after 2 days, the orange completely faded and it's a perfect natural ivory color. Just how I had hoped. Gorgeous scent, and I am glad that I used the stabilizer. I also tested this out in the White M&P base (with stabilizer) and the scent is even a bit stronger and lovely. No discoloration with the stabilizer. LOVE this fragrance and I will absolutely incorporate this into my line.

"FANTASTIC!!!!!" |
|
COMMENTS: When I first smelled this one out of the bottle, I knew it would be a great one. The soap accelerated some, but it could have been my warmer temps. I was able to whip it back into shape. The batter was yellow, so I knew it was going to discolor somewhat. The vanilla content was not present on the description so I took the chance with a light brown mica. It ended up discoloring to a dark brown. I also made solid lotion bars and they smell heavenly. This is a keeper that I will try next time with beer as the full liquid. Gotta try this one!

COMMENTS: I agree the cookie scent...will be nice for the holidays,
but, it does have a brightness in the back that copies hops.
I used it in hot process, so no issues with seizing, etc and the
scent stayed true.

"Amazing foody Scent! A must have!" |
|
COMMENTS: A++++!!! This scent is amazing and I highly recommend it! My husband is a home brewer, so I am very familiar with the scent of all things beer, so I was especially excited to try this scent. To me, it is a bakery scent. It is rich in butterscotch, oats and a hint of orange. I will probably market it as a cookie scent. It really is delicious smelling and I know it will sell like crazy!
Be prepared to work fast. I would recommend soaping at room temperature. I soaped around 100 degrees and it moved very fast! I had not planned to add color or swirl, which is good, because there would not have been time for that. It did rice, but I whipped it smooth with the immersion blender. I also added oats to the top, which made the top look prettier.
The scent is so divine, that it is worth the extra effort it takes to work with. It does discolor caramel, but this is a perfect match for the scent. The scent is nice a strong as well!!!
I also made soy tarts and the throw is amazing! This will be a big hit for anyone who loves dessert scents! Another winner!!!
