"Thos is so far my favorite Honeysuckle blend from WSP and from anywhere ! Smells amazing oob and holds well in cured cp soap. I need to buy a bigger bottle ! So I realize florals are fast movers and I try to work around it with low temperature, slow to trace recipe, no fancy design, hand blend at emulsification and get in the mold quickly. This does accelerate but it was manageable with my small 2lb batch."
"I absolutely love this FO in my MP and Lotion process. and this will be a part of my Christmas line."
"OOB - all you can smell is the cherry. After using it in M&P soap (finish product) - you definitely can smell the smoke of a pipe come through. Love this and so does my husband! I definitely will keep this in my Christmas/Holiday line! After Christmas you could change the name to ""Grandpa's Pipe"" or ""Corncob Pipe"" for a mens' line to sell all year."
"This smells ah-mazing! You can detect the warm tobacco and the cherry. It soaped very nicely, no acceleration/separation/ricing. It does discolor to a deep brown, so plan accordingly. It has stayed strong through three weeks of curing."
"This smells way different in the bottle then it does in soap or candles!! There is a cherry scent frm the bottle however when burnt in soy wax its kind of that sweet scent walking into a tobacco shop for the 1st time. Its very warm, very inviting, and its quickly become a shop favorite with my clients!!"
"At first sniff, OOB, all I smelled was cherry-almond. I used this FO to make home fragrance oil (with DPG), which STILL smelled like cherry-almond. However, I dabbed a bit on my hand (bad idea, I know lol) and the dry-down was PHENOMENAL. Tobacco and all the other notes really come through once that initial blast of cherry-almond is gone, and this turns into a cozy, warm, very holiday-ish scent. Haven't used the tarts I made yet."
"Performs well in CP soaps. Use 1oz per pound of oils. The soap does turn brown due to the vanilla content. Smells GREAT !!"
"It's a very sweet scent. I absolutely loved it but it wasn't a huge seller for me. Maybe I will try using it again with a different name than I'd used before. It's amazing to me how big of a difference that can make."
"This fragrance is a bit strong while making the soap and I am in agreement with another reviewer - try not to get it on your clothes, skin, or work surface because it lingers. If you have sinus headaches you may want to stay away from this one because it will cause one. Overall it disipates and turns out to be quite a wonderful cherry tobacco smell, just like pipe tobacco. A great smell for a man. Another great holiday addition."
"I know it lists my wifes name on the review but this is her husband giving the review. Smelling the bottle you would think this would give you a headache. Once we used only %3 in CP soap it smelled amazing. Every single guy we're related to grabbed them and immediately wanted them. I've been waiting all year to make this soap for the holidays. If you have ever smelled scented pipe tobacco from like a pipe shop, that sweet, smooth, cherry and vanilla aroma that is what this is. People think tobacco and think of the stinky guy with a cigar , that is NOT what this is. In the end this scent won my wife over as well."
