We didn't scent this soap at all. That smell is simply the Neem Oil. The raw nutty smell is after the soap has cured. When you first cut the soap, it smells like a meat gravy baby food. Once the soap sits overnight though, it takes on that raw nutty smell. pdxlibrarian-

It took me a few moments to identify the smell. At first I was thinking it's earthy but not cinnamony, what is it? But then when I thought of dinner, I realized it was nuts I detected. It's not salty or sweet, so you don't end up smelling like peanut butter, it's more of a raw nuttiness. I liked the creamy lather and the rippled surface, but I'm the smell is a bit to masculine for me. I received a sample of this soap and must say it is nutty!

I will be showing the soap out of the mold. You can substitute any oil you wish as long as you double check the recipe on the <a href="http://www.thesage.com/calcs/lyecalc2.php" rel="nofollow">Lye Calculator</a>. We recommend having a standard recipe that you know what the soap is like and then adding 1 oz of an oil you want to test to see what happens and how the oil turns out. After all, you could make a soap batch with just one oil, but you may not like the feeling of a 100 percent one oil soap. This allows you to feel the oil as you most likely will use it, blended with other oils. sincerelyemily-

And can you alway substitue any oil for one listed in a recipe - like you said to sub. whatever oil we want for the Neem? fore instance - using above recipe changing Coconut into Soybean or Rice Bran Oil?
