Too Harsh
"This scent is too harsh and smells like an ammonia based cleaning agent rather than a fragrance oil. I typically love the Rustic Escentuals line, so this is definitely not typical of this brand."

"This scent is too harsh and smells like an ammonia based cleaning agent rather than a fragrance oil. I typically love the Rustic Escentuals line, so this is definitely not typical of this brand."
"Strong and deep, this is a great scent. Time and time again I've sold out of my wax melts scented with this FO."
"This Lemon Slices is a really nice lemon scent that sticks well in CP soap. I tested it against Rustic Ecsentuals Lemon Verbena 15745. They both behaved well, no acceleration, ricing or anything else. A couple weeks after unmolding, the scent is still strong on both. Out of 4 people, one person thought Lemon Slices had a slight chemical smell. But, one strongly disagreed and thought it was a brighter, fresher scent than the Lemon Verbena. I did not detect a chemical smell (but I have terrible smeller. . . ) in the Lemon Slices. But, I thought the Lemon Verbena has a really nice herbal note that I love. This is a great buy!"
"Unfortunately, it smells like cleaning supplies. My family & friends thought the same. I had very high hopes!"
"This fragrance is the real deal'pure lemon, no Pledge, candy, or lemonade vibes. It's exactly like the fresh, zesty scent on your hands after squeezing lemons. The scent is strong and stays true even after curing in cold process soap. It's a dream to work with'no acceleration, no discoloration, just smooth sailing. If you're after a bold and authentic lemon fragrance, this one is a winner!"
"I used to use the Lemon Fragrance Oil - FF# 2 and they made it so you can only buy 25 gallons at a time. I tried this Lemon Slices Fragrance Oil 15741 and it smells just like Pledge. I have no idea what these other people are smelling but I cannot use it. Bring back the smaller quantities if FF#2."
"This is the best lemon scent. No pledge, candy or lemonade smell. It's tart and smells just like my hands after squeezing lemons. Stays strong and true after cure in CPOP. No R/A/D. Can slow trace. Would be a great blender."
"This has become one of my best sellers for cp. Even after months, the scent stays true. So clean and refreshing."
"This is a great lemon scent OOB. Soaps beautifully with no A or D. Faded after pouring, but improved with the cure. At four months, bars are still distinctly ""lemon"", though, as with most citrus oils, there was some fading. Definitely one of the best lemons in terms of scent retention, though. I tested at 5% of my oils, but would increase to 6%. This is a great blender, as well. Lovely in all bath and body applications."
"For me, this has a lighter lemon scent. Not as strong as RE's Lemon Curd but it is a lemon scent. No fuel, pledge smell. You could blend this scent Hoping it would have been a stronger lemon scent"
