Sweet Orange Fragrance Oil

The scent stayed nice in cold pressed soap. It turned the brown oxide to light lavendar color. And overall made the colour lighter than what I originally expected.

My first batch of CP soap not made in a class.
I added the FO just after the lye/water had blended into the fats. Using a stick blender it became custard-like within four minutes. Could not seem to get the mixture to "drip "off the stick blender, uh-oh did I miss trace? Anyway I did manage to get the mix into moulds. Six weeks later the soap is great! Sudsy, silky feeling, and smells like wonderful sweet oranges! Yes I have ordered more.

Another amazing scent, this is the best true to orange scent I have ever tried. Did a few soap bars and they smell delicious. Another winner for me. Will purchase again.

This smells very strongly of mould. I'm confused, because all the other reviews say it's fantastic. But it just smells so strongly of mildew, and mould. There is a light orange scent on top of the strong mould smell, and the combination make it stink like a mouldy orange.
I have bought scents from here that I absolutely love, and some that I don't care for, but I never thought any of them were bad, because the ones I didn't care for, well, that's a personal-taste issue, not a this-oil-is-bad issue.
But this is bad.
The mould smell was so strong that I was worried it was something on my end that was mouldy, but it's not - I sanitized everything, tried again, and it still stank. Other things made with the same equiptment do not smell at all like mould, so it has to be the oil.
I even tried putting a few drops into my diffuser, to test it that way, and I had to turn it off, as it made the room smell like mould. And when I put a different oil in the diffuser, it did not smell like mould. So, again, it's the oil.
I bought the smallest bottle possible, to see if I liked the scent, so it's not a big deal. But it is perplexing. Maybe a bad batch?
I was using orange E.O. before this, and though I'd try a F.O., but I guess I will stick with the E.O.

Lovely scent works great with CPOP
