Question
HI! Im just now starting to make soaps,lotion bars and solid scents I love the scents of jasmine and gardenia and plumeria,but when I ordered these oils they smelt HORRIBLE! I put them in my product anyway buts it smells awful they smell nothing like the plumeria and jasmine and gardenias I smell everywhere else,am I suppose to mabye add something? or am i doing something wrong? any help would be great I felt like Ive wasted so much products trying to fix this!
Hello,
Where are you getting your scents? Some places have lower quality scents, some have better quality. You may want to try purchasing these from another source. For example, I happen to know that http://www.aquariusaroma-soap.com/ has a lovely gardenia scent (as well as many other awesome scents). http://www.brambleberry.com has great scents and so does http://www.rusticescentuals.com/
Scents should smell nice in the bottle and nicer in the product without any extra steps. If your scents smell repulsive, you should definitly try another source.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Stephanie

I can answer all your melt and pour soap questions (the process where you melt soap base to get soap bars)! I also have some experience with rebatching (hand milling) and can help you out with that too. Any questions about bath salt, bath bombs and lip balms are welcome as well. I can help you correct your problem batches of any of these, or get started, but I can't offer you any recipes unfortunately. All questions about color, fragrance, additives, instructions, bases, where to get supplies and more are welcome!
