NAVETTE (FORMERLY ORANGE BLOSSOM)

• Acceleration: Yes
• Deceleration: No
• Ricing: No
• Separation: No
• Discoloration: No
• Behavior Notes: Tested at 3%. Accelerated to a medium thick trace and impacted the texture of my batter with very light ricing. Poured into my mold very smoothly after hand stirring. Discolored to a light cream color and the scent retention is very strong post cure!

Tested by Creamy Obsession Soap. The testing recipe consisted of olive oil, coconut oil, lard, sunflower oil, castor oil, shea butter, mango butter, and cocoa butter. A 1.8:1 water to lye ratio was used, as well as a 5% superfat. All tests were conducted at room temperature, with a range of 85°F to 95°F Every small batch was brought to an emulsion, and then the fragrances were stirred in by hand and watched over a period of time while comparing to an unscented control poured from the same batch. After setting up, the bars were then CPOP’ed in their individual silicone molds in the oven at 170°F for 5 minutes to ensure a full gel. Separate popsicle sticks and pipettes were used for each individual fragrance to avoid any cross contamination.
