Gatsby

This is another kick in the teeth for me. I destashed this one time because I judged it OOB. Shame on me. Then, I got one in a mystery bag, gave it a shot and made CP soap at 5% FL, room temp. Omg so easy to work with. Great for layering and swirls. I use dark colors for this soap, so I don't really know if it "discolors" enough to make a difference. I ended up buying another bottle. This one is fantastic.

I tested this fragrance at a 5% use rate in cold process soap. This one definitely accelerates, so be sure to move quickly with it once you add the fragrance in! It's manageable, but 20 minutes in reaches a very thick, vaseline-like consistency. 3 days in, it has blossomed in my soap with a beautiful scent retention, and has discolored to a light latte tan color.

For months I thought this was a fresh/green scent. I can’t smell tobacco or anything swanky like that, but scent is subjective. I agree with others that it’s sophisticated and complex.

Gatsby is interesting and captivating. It turned out to be much more floral-forward than I initially expected. I used it in coco apricot wax at an 8%, and both CT/HT are 10/10. The throw is impressively strong at 8%, so I wouldn't recommend going higher. For me, the florals are the most prominent, with a subtle hint of lingering tobacco that adds a unique touch. This fragrance offers a sophisticated and luxurious aroma, making it a standout choice for candles.

This is a nice scent. It’s very fresh. To me it smells like an expensive shampoo. And I’m here for it. Ht 8/10 in parasoy melts. Standard percentage and cure time.
