I usually order sampler sizes in the more expensive fragrance oils so I dont get stuck with a very expensive bottle of something I find revolting but for some reason I ordered a full size of Vanilla Pear it sounded great and when I got it I was very pleased. I think this could be a very good seller. This fragrance oil discolors brown like most other vanilla containing oils. That was a major drawback for me. I didnt want brown soap that smelled like pear. I wanted green and yellow soap that smelled like Pears!! So I went very very heavey on the titanium dioxide for 2/3s of the batch and only scented that part. I took the other third of the batch and split it in two and colored them in green and yellow. Im a week into the discoloration and as it stands the uncolored/fragraced portion has discolored to a light tan, it looks GREAT with the yellow and green swirls in it. I have to admit I am over the scent already though, I made this at the tail end of my first trimester in pregnancy and the scent just got to be too much for me. I do think its a very pleasant scent though, very light, summery and fresh!
