Do we have any updates on those listed so far?
Sage and Lemongrass: Scent completely disappeared after curing. I only used 1/2 oz per pound. Did anyone else have that problem with more fo per pound?

I had great results with this, actually nice and strong...? Maybe I used more, that is why. I believe I used 1oz per pound.

Update on Plumeria: I love this one. I used it for the first time today, and it smells lovely. It seems to have gotten better with time. A definite keeper.

Sugar Plum Berries - no acceleration noticed, no morphing, no discoloration. The scent right now is lighter than I would like it to be, but I only had one ounce handy, and did a three pound batch (1/3 oz pp). We’ll see if the scent comes back after curing, or if it just needs to be bumped up next time.
Eucalyptus Leaf – no morphing, no discoloration, no acceleration. Only used 1/3 oz pp and the throw (borrowing a word from candle making) is plenty strong at this point. We’ll see how it is after cure. I think this scent goes great with soap; definitely says “clean.”
Tall Grass – no morphing, no discoloration noticed (although I used way too much dye when I made this one), no acceleration. Used ˝ oz pp and the scent is pleasing after fully curing.

The tall grass is close to florescent green  . The other two I haven't cut yet. Nothing fancy really, but I'll get some photos up as soon as I can. I also need to get a new stick blender so I can continue to play. I somehow broke the one I had in the middle of a batch  I think it may have over-heated. Who knows  for 9 bucks, I'll just get a new one.

Tested them all in HP.
I loved the mango papaya.
The asian sandalwood rocks,though I did notice that if left smalll streaks through the soap, but not unattractive, and could be that I just needed to stir it in more.
Sage & Lemongrass you dont need alot for it goes a looong way.
Lavender, I had to let it mellow out some, but is def better after a week.
Juniper Breeze, I'am still sniffin it on the drying rack, when I go by
Love Spell.. very nice
Green Clover & Aloe, very light scent, think next time I'll use a tad more ppo though.
Tried the Mountain Lake, and it soo reminds me of coast or zest, cant remember which at the moment.. but def a more manly type of smell.
I didnt notice anything funny with any of these fo's, whether it was trace acc. or just hurry and smoosh it in a mold.
Havent tried the jasmine.. yet

If I remember correctly, she CP'd it with clay. I would just love to CP this, guess I'm just going to have to try a small batch... Sorry yours didn't turn out Chad...

Oh wow.. I did test the strawberries and cream.. One drop into one cup of raw soap turned a bright yellow. Am going to try and find shannon's post to get more details on this one. Maybe this would work with a reverse swirl with red oxides calling it strawberry fields or something? Wow...

Ocean - after seeing jcandleattics trouble, I decided to give it a shot. No water discount, and it did try to trace quickly, I mastered it! Move quick, and it can be done. No discoloration, and smells wonderful so far...

Didn't read Kim's message on Med Fig and I soaped it on Saturday and man oh man did it ever rice. Couldn't throw away a 5# batch and used some clay so went ahead and poured in mold. Unmolded and looked okay but today it was dreaded DOS! Dang that ticks me off so bad. Guess I will just have to cut it off.

Used Strawberry Kiwi in cp last night, soaped great, no acceleration or ricing...slight color change. Kind of a lighter yellowish orange, but looks good with the red swirl.
