"I'd say it has a very deep floral smell compared to my other floral blended fragrances. Very lovely and feminine. I noticed one review compared it to a pickle-like smell and did note it does have an almost slight ""tang"" smell to it if I looked for that note, so I can see it being a profile some people will pick up on. It's not as strong in my case, but it's still pretty nice."
"This fragrance is AMAZING. I do not like berry smells in my soaps. However, I fell in love with this smell. That said, this fragrance is not for wimps when it comes to CP soaps. It ate my lunch. It took great effort to outwit it but If finally got it to do a hanger swirl. I had to work fast. It required strategy. It is well worth the anguish. Advantages: Smells divine. People love the smell immediately. Disadvantages: It is a nightmare to work with. Requires lots of planning, speed, and strategy."
"This one is tricky to work with, but the scent is pretty great. We're featuring it again this year for our holiday line in soap and room sprays. Advantages: The scent is to die for. Autumn through winter. Disadvantages: Separation and acceleration, even in HP, but manageable. The scent is worht the hassle, but don't plan layering or swirls."
"I bought a sample during the fall sale. Used it in a sample cp soap, and wow! Immediate separation and ricing! Stick blended it like crazy, and still had difficulty, but the scent is amazing, a very complex, fruity, strong scent. It might be usable in a very slow tracing recipe. Advantages: Wonderful, complex scent. Disadvantages: Instant ricing and separation."
"I love the juicy berry aroma. . . Advantages: strong Disadvantages: It did not separate for me in the CP, but it did accelerate trace. I will still purchase it again, but now I will be ready to act."
"The fragrance is spectacular! Bright, sweet and crisp, perfect for autumn and winter lines. HOWEVER, it caused nearly immediate separation in my CP soap on two separate occasions. I was able to dump my batch into a pot and HP the soap, where it turned out fine. but there was no way to save it as CP. Advantages: I will keep it on hand because I love the fragrance and am willing to do other things with it. Disadvantages: Not CP friendly."
