Whats a good fragrance oils brand for Cold process soap making?
I have done a couple of batches of soap with some inexpensive fragrance oils from Amazon. They came out just fine, but the fragrance seems ok and does not meet my expectations of a good premium smell.
My first batch was an olive oil, castor oil soap with 6 % superfat. For the second one I added shea, cocoa butter, sodium lactate, kaolin clay, colloidal oats.
First batch was not a hard soap. A soap barely lasted a couple of weeks. Second bath is still curing(hoping it will be a harder soap) and will know it's status in another 4 weeks.
But as mentioned before, I can smell them but does not smell premium. BTW, the conentration is correct based on Brambleberry calculator. Its is strong but not premium smelling.
Doing research online I came across Vinevida. They have a masculine set for like 20 bucks. Seems a good size to experiment with. However, I could find the same fragrance oils on Wholesalesuplliesplus as well.
Any thoughts about these suppliers? Whats a good recommendation?
Are there any ones I should stay away from?
Thanks
