Tropical Swim (Archived)

*received as part of a mystery bag purchase*
This was another one that I wouldn't have purchased on my own, since I already have so many that are fruity tropical scents. But I'm so glad I got this in one of my mystery packs, as it is gorgeous, and so different from others that I have.
Somehow, to my nose, this one smells like fresh-cut peaches, with a creamy coconut. It is so lush and juicy, and even though it's got SUCH a low rate for diffusers, it throws really well. I used the max in combination with FCO on diffuser beads and it immediately filled my car with scent.

I tested this fragrance at the maximum use rate permitted by IFRA in cold process soap, 1.36%. It decelerated slightly for me, and provided lots of time to work with! After unmold, it did have some sweat beads on top, but these absorbed back into the soap by the following day. It has a lovely scent retention, despite the low use rate, and has discolored to a macaroon yellow color so far 3 days in).

I went through many samples from many suppliers until I found this perfect one! Thanks Simbi for ALL your wonderful scents.

Tropical Swim is a soft spa scent with a hint of passionflower, coconut, and vanilla. I used 9% fragrance oil in coconut apricot wax, which gives an 8/10 hot throw.

This is another scent I use in my personal self-care collection. More specifically, Tropical Swim is my foot scrub and it smells SO WONDERFUL. I really have no critique. I haven't put it in wax but I'll try it soon and report back.
