Since Orange is so fleeting and weak in cold process, I’d recommend an anchor or even using a bit of Litsea or Lemongrass to help keep that citrus scent around. Cinnamon can be a bit of a skin irritant and it is a very strong scent all by itself. I’d recommend using .1 to .2 oz. of it per pound of cold process soap (maximum). Start at .1. For the Orange, I would use .8 ounces (I know that’s a lot but it does an amazing disappearing act in CP) and .1 to .2 ounces of the Litsea/Lemongrass. If you cut down on the Orange a bit, you could add a tinch (.1 oz.) of Patchouli in there for a base note and that would make a lovely blend. Back to top.
