"Strong floral, doesn’t really remind me of sunflower. Also riced terribly and accelerated. I can handle the acceleration, but the ricing was awful, I was able to blend most of it out, but that didn’t help to the acceleration issue. I think it’ll still be a good summer soap though, but would not buy again."
"Smells like fresh picked flowers!"
"This scent is extremely clean and refreshing. The cucumber is crisp and watery, while the mint adds a cooling freshness without being too strong. Excellent for soaps, body washes, and spa-style products. Smells light, modern, and very refreshing."
"I was very excited to try this scent as I love the scent of bergamot oil, especially the citrus notes in it. But I couldn't find them as much. The initial scent is very sweet like bubble gum and I struggled to find the bergamot in there. But others who tried the body butter and sugar scrub I made with this loved the smell. The smell was light and thankfully didn't linger too long on my skin."
"Great scent, strong retention in coco-soy candles. Great HT and CT. This is a little too floral for my personal tastes, but my customers like it."
"I wouldn't say Sunflowers as much as just strong florals. This also accelerated very quickly. Like so fast I couldn't mess with the top of the soap!"
"I cannot believe how bad this fragrance is. I have smelled other Sunflower type fragrance oils and none of them smelled like this mess. I can't even describe it. As close as I can tell, it is more like a geranium or something equally stinky. I am SO disappointed and wish I hadn't wasted my money on 4 oz of this :("
"After reading the reviews on this FO, I was definitely hesitant to try it in my CP soap but I really wanted to make a sunflower designed soap. I planned for the batter to accelerate quite a bit and made the center part of the sunflower first using a cylinder mold. My recipe consisted of coconut, olive, sunflower, palm & castor oils and I soaped between 80-85 degrees. To my surprise, the batter stayed in a light to medium trace and poured perfectly. For my sunflower layer I used two colors and did an ITP swirl and again, the batter behaved very well with plenty of time to pour. I used a scraper to form the sunflower design and was again surprised that it didn't accelerate past the point of being able to scrape the design. My last layer was one color but I had the same results. . . a great smelling scent that behaved well. I'm not sure if this was reformulated recently, but am thankful that my experience was not like what I had read about!"
"Only used this because my original sunflower scent was out of stock at different supplier. I had plans to do some fun piping on it for my fall line & it riced so badly after adding it was hard to get in the mold, much less pipe anything fancy. Overall scent is okay, but I will just plan better and get the other one that I really like better."
"I love this scent but wouldn't buy it again. Riced and accelerated terribly in CP. I read the reviews that said you could stick blend it out. I thought sure, I'll do that, I'm making layers anyway. Nope. I soaped around 90', 33% lye, initially brought the batter to thin trace, then mixed my micas in, then FO. It accelerated so badly my stick blender wouldn't even do anything to the lumps. I can't fathom how any of these other soapers were able to work with this."
