"A nice enough scent but without the warm depth of a true Frankincense EO. It's nice but more on the "green" side and not as warm as a full Frankincense scent. I understand it is a blend but more green forward than warm."
"I wanst sure about the fragrance at first but I've been using this for my bath salts and deodorants. They quickly became my best sellers of those categories. The scent blooms once it's been grounded."
"This is a favorite of customers year round. A lot of people consider this a Christmas-type fragrance, but I get requests for soap made with this fragrance all during the year. It's a very strong fragrance that holds up well in soap. It does accelerate a little in cold process soap. It also discolors to a dark brown in Cold and Hot Process Soaps. I usually reserve some of the ""batter"" before I incorporate the scent, so that I can swirl a separate color into the soap that won't be affected by this discoloration."
"This is the best frankincense I've ever used. It behaved beautifully in my cold process soap, no ricing and no trace acceleration. Now that it's fully cured, the scent has not morphed at all, and it's strong and pleasant. This is another winner."
"Something about this blend is a smooth, creamy and dreamy. People often question what else is in it besides Frankincense because it has another underlying blend. It's great for the holidays."
"A strong, true, fabulous, frankincense blend. Don't get this confused with the smell of straight frankincense essential oil because it definitely is not that. Smells like a Frank and Myrrh blend and is very lovely. I don't immediately smell the cedarwood OOB, but it doesn't matter because it still smells wonderful. Used in CP soap at 1 oz per pound of oil (about 6%) and had very slight acceleration with immediate discoloration. I do expect it to totally discolor due to vanilla content. Workable and sets up very nicely. Just as fabulous in lotion. Great to use alone or as a blender. Highly recommend."
"As someone who is obsessed with frankincense I have finally found a fragrance oil that smells exactly like the oils I buy locally and can be used in my room/linen sprays. Would totally recommend!"
"This scent is strong and durable and imitates fairly well the real Frankincense. It is a little bit sweeter than the real thing and the color is brown which will affect the color of your soap."
"I live in Fl. so can only do certain products. Had the idea of making laundry soap (using WSP's recipe and just tweaking a bit) for prayer cloths, altar cloths, etc. The fragrance is VERY good and strong. It didn't speed trace. I had no issues at all using it. I am anxiously awaiting my WSP shipment, scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, to finish this product. I have learned that letting the laundry soap 'cure' for a bit after it is completely made before using helps to hold the scent through drying the clothes which is what I was trying to accomplish."
"Love the earthy smell of this FO. I didn't know what to expect when ordering this fragrance. I wasn't disappointed. Subtle vanilla in the background rounds our a very nice fragrance. I may take the advice of others who have used it in soaps and have had good results. Tarts and candles will definitely be in the future for this scent!"
