Smells great, Cracks at edges
"My formula has less olive, and palm instead of sunflower, but otherwise is pretty similar to the test batch info. I cut this after 24 hours, and did get cracking at the edges. I might try it at 12 hours from pour."

"I soaped with this today. Beautiful, complex, clean scent. It has been a few years since I have been on the Soaring over CA ride, so I can't really remember if this smells like that scent or not, but I do really like it. I use a 2 to 1 water to lye ratio, so was very happy to see this slow trace a bit. Can't wait to see how it cures."
"You'll see some acceleration with this, but it's manageable. You could swirl it if you're prepared and move with purpose. A customer begged to have the 4 oz. sample bar that I tested! Throws like mad in GW464. Advantages: Very strong, doesn't morph in CP. If you're one of the people who can smell urine notes in jasmine and other florals, this has none. Disadvantages: Some acceleration."
"This is a beautiful fragrance, but it accelerates in Cold Process. I soaped at about 100 degrees Fahrenheit, using 0. 5 ounces of the fragrance. Do *not* plan for a fancy design with this fragrance. I made that mistake, and it started clumping on me before I was through, so I glopped it into the mold and hoped for the best. In a single color soap, with a light hand with the fragrance, it might perform better."
"Definitely saw acceleration in CP - manageable if you know it's coming and plan to go simple. Fragrance makes it all worthwhile!"
"Great smell, still good and keeps well. I purchased it almost 2 years ago and sifted in a dark cold closet it's kept well. Great throw! But after 2 years it does have some slight hunny of urine in the jasmine notes but when diluted in lotions it completely disappeared and smells fantastic! Advantages: Great throwLong shelf lifeGet for body candle products"
"CP: This is a beautiful floral; not chemically or powdery and a little higher on the jasmine. It's pretty strong out of the bottle - I had to open the windows (might keep it covered until time to use it). It did not discolor, but seemed to heat up - was soaping in the 90�?s - and it accelerated so fast it was hardening while plopping it in the mold. I gave a 3 because it is a pretty scent and I might try it again. . . when my ego heals ;-) (1st batch I've had to toss) Garbage:1 Me:0 Advantages: no chemical scent and doesn't discolor Disadvantages: started hardening in about 15 seconds and seized within 2. . . . ruined my batch."
