5 color swirl CP soap with which FO? I need one that doesn't discolor or accelerate trace.

I recently ordered this one and oob it smells great. Very dimensional but mostly I smell the melon. I can smell a hint of coconut and others in there as well. It would be a nice swirl. I am going to soap it soon (probably next week) and can tell you how it behaves. The description says it does not discolor. I also received Blackberry Sage and everyone who has smelled it oob says they want something made with it. I have not soaped it yet so I don't know how it behaves but I plan on using it tomorrow.

Unofortunately I haven't had a lot of opportunity to experiment with scents. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Black Raspberry Vanilla. It smells great and is fantastic to use.

I know it's not citrus but I second the Fresh Snow. Such a clean, fresh, crisp scent. Soaped like a dream for me too! I have to stop myself before I literally inhale them when I do my daily sniff of them on the curing rack!

My new mold is due to arrive on Wed. so I will work up a recipe, then think about scents to use. I hope to go "outside the box" for colors, so something tropical or fruity would work well.

I have a 3-color swirl that I made a floral scent--ylang-ylang and lavender.
