periwinkle Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Just curious, when you use your own soaps, does the scent of whatever FO you used linger on your skin, or does your skin just smell like clean skin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NNK Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 It depends on the scent. Let's say Patchouli lingers, like, forever, some FOs do to, some for a long time, but most just for a little while (strong enought for me to smell it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NNK Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Forgot to mention, I do CP though, but that shouldn't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Some scents do linger, some don't. It doesn't seem to matter which supplier, just the nature of the scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetsCandles Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 All of the ones I've tested so far have left a lingering scent. However, I notice that I become immune to the scent over the course of the day. Just by wearing it, my senses adjust to it and ignore it. Happens with everyone so I'm told.

ksranch Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 We find that the scents do linger, yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Some do, some don't. Depends on the strength of the scent and your olfactory senses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in KY Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I have never had a scent linger, not in a homemade soap. Since I don't like anything with Patchouli or Musk, that might be the reason. But the stinking body gel for men last forever. And so does the "yuck" fabric softners. Saw a bottle of stuff "to make Fabric Softener scent last longer on your cloths" what could that be?

Kimb Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I know my Rose scented soap lingers, because my husband used it and couldn't figure out why he was smelling flowers all day at work. Now the girly scents have to go in a certain corner of the shower.Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie353 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I've only done M&P and scented only two batches so far leaving the rest unscented to send off to testers. Peak Vanilla Bean Nectarine and Green Clover & Aloe both not only were strong in the soap but stuck like glue. The VBN is about 3 months old and the two scented bars left are still very strong. They do leave a lingering scent on skin. Same with GC&A...used it in Aloe Vera M&P, also stuck well and lingers. I will cut that one back next time as it would make an excellent spa type scent at a lighter touch...IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 My fav M&P soap for lingering scent is made with Tuscan Lace from Elements. This one really makes your skin smell nice. I notice it above all others. Who knew?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Only if you put your nose right on my skin will you smell a lingering fragrance. Some of the bakery scents are so nice to just sniff your arm or whatever all day and get that nice little bit of fragrance (TMI?).Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
