I wanted to achieve a chocolat-y smell without using a fragrance oil, so I formulated a recipe with 25% Cocoa Butter in hopes of the scent coming through. I also superfatted after the cook with more Cocoa Butter, and it does hold a faint nutty and chocolate note. I also tried a new oil for me (Shea Oil), as part of my superfat, as I have read that it's quite luxurious... I must agree. I also added . 25 oz of Sweet Orange EO to give it a little something. I love it, as it's just enough of nutty/tangy blend. One of the soapers on one of the groups posted something about it smelling like a Tootsie roll, but I think it's too early to tell about mine. 😀  For color and design, all I did was dissolve ½ TBS of organic Cocoa powder into 2 TBS of my heated oils, and set aside until it was time to mold. Once it reached Vaseline and all of my addives were added, I separated roughly 1.5 cups of the natural batter and added my dissolved Cocoa powder. It was a lovely contrast. I then did a simple chopstick swirl. I am quite pleased, and may try 30% Cocoa Butter next time.
