"Smelled nice in the bottle but made my CP soap riced and seemed to seize after I mixed the oil in. Turned my back for a minute to get the mold from another room and came back to a mess. Less than 24 hours later and there is barely any scent. May work nice in lotions though."
"It worked well in my CP soap recipe- no acceleration. It did turn the batter yellow before ultimately turning brown while curing. However, the scent did not stick well at all. It has almost a ""play dough"" smell after curing. I probably will not sell these soaps. That all being said, the fragrance itself smells fantastic and would be awesome in a lotion, foaming bath whip, candle, etc."
"Unlike most of you here, I purchase FO & EO to create my own ISA-based fragrance oils for catalytic burner lamps and to use in cold vapor diffusers. I imagine the diffusion of the FO in the air makes the scent smell slightly different than when used in soaps or other mediums. I love the Maison Berger fragrance called 'Pumpkin Delight' and have been looking for a good dupe. This Pumpkin Vanilla Chai is very close (just a bit more 'spice' to it than MB 'Pumpkin Delight') and I quickly found myself halfway through a 4oz bottle after just a week's rotation in my new 35+ WSP FO collection and 25+ varieties of MBerger scents. I definitely keep coming back to this one. This scent smells exactly like a Pumpkin-flavored Chai with a splash of vanilla. The pumpkin is nicely prominent and the chai spice is very strong to the point that it gives off a perception of cinnamon. I purchased several pumpkin FO blends in this order (trying to find a good dupe) and unfortunately they all are very cinnamon heavy when diffused/atomized. The cinnamon tends to overpower the other notes and it loses its subtle complexity. This scent thankfully did not do that. The photo used for the listing is perfect because that is exactly what I imagine is under my nose if I close my eyes while smelling this FO. While I love this scent and will be buying (a lot) more, I'm still looking for a dupe for Maison Berger's 'Pumpkin Delight, which is more of a apple ginger pumpkin than a spicy chai (Head Notes: Mandarin, ginger, saffron; Heart Notes: Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, apple; Base NotesPumpkin, Vanilla, amber). If anyone has a suggestion of a FO/EO combination or blend or a good dupe I would be very grateful. In the meantime, I definitely give this Pumpkin Vanilla Chai ***** 5 Stars *****"
