This page contains the knowledge of how fragrances behave in cold process soap. This is not a definitive guide, and fragrance may (and probably will) behave differently in your soap batter. Always test! I use a 60% hard oil recipe that is always soaped at room temperature. Soaping at higher temperatures is almost always guaranteed to give you acceleration.
CP = cold process
A = acceleration
R – ricing
D – discolouration
TD = titanium dioxide

Night Before Christmas
No acceleration. Very slight ricing. No discolouration.
Christmas Breeze
Acceleration. Ricing. Heat tunnels and lye leakage when cut open. Would not recommend for cold process soaping.
