Amazing scent but behaves horribly in CP soap
Smells authentic: fresh, citrusy and sweet. Great oil. Next time will purchase a larger bottle.
I soap at room temperature and this lemongrass essential oil accelerates trace like crazy. I still like the fact though that this particular one is very strong and the scent lasts for a long time. Knowing the fact that it does accelerate trace, I decided to mix it with "french lavender fragrance oil" (purchased here from Voyager). My ratio was 50/50. Not only it smells amazing in the final bar of soap, it also gave me enough time to do a nice design.
I used this for my cold pressed soap and it smells sooo good!
This essential oil is fabulous. This is my first time using Voyageur essential oils and I couldn’t be more pleased. The scent is robust and true. Perfect for my candles.
