I'm in the process of making my last Christmas soap. It will be several tones of brown and white. I wanted to do a Frankincense and Myrrh but upon reading the BB review of the scent I find I have the reformulated scent which is not like the original ( in fact BB suggests that the Cybilla is better on this review) a touch floral and fading. Bummer.

So I have choices.

Do I bump up the watered down Frank and Myrrh and if so what do I use?

Or should I just go for a Nag Champa fragrance.

Any assistance? TU!

Maybe you can try swabs of different scent anchors near your fo and see if one of them will blend well with it. Maybe that will both anchor it and subdue the floral notes. That way you can use the fo you bought.

I went ahead and used the Frankincense and Myrrh in M and P soap just to use some of it up and to give it a test run.

At the rate of 4 ml per 4 oz of m and p the fragrance is just about non existent. Furthermore it doesn't smell anything like the original. This is beginning to concern me, who does the reformulating and do they test their results? Curious.

Ack! Sorry to hear it isn't working out for you hun :( Maybe try a sniffy sample of nag champa mixed with a teeny bit of fir needle? Might make it more Christmasy! Good luck!

That's a bummer, Mella! I was thinking cedarwood with the Frank & Myrrh and adding fir if it needed a sweeter note. Although now that I think about it, maybe vetiver would be good.

Thanks for the suggestions all!

I finished the project with Nag Champa which is a nice fragrance, just wasn't what I wanted. I hear NG has a good
F&M fo to try.

Why not get some frankincense and myrrh tears and infuse your own? I tried one called Essences of Jesus (hated the name) and Essences of Bethlehem (also not crazy about the name, but better than using the Lord's in my opinion) from Rustic Escentuals a few years ago, during my 100 recipes in 100 days deal. Anyway, one was frankincense based and one was myrrh. To their blend I added some of the real, infused in my oils. HUGE hits! I changed the names to "spiced frankincense" and "spiced myrrh" . I sold them all year long and still have people asking me for some this past Summer.
