I haven't noticed a difference in the smell between different moulds - more a
difference in the texture of the final soap.

Do you think different moulds may affect the smell as well? eg silicon v/s
plastic or wood and I have also wondered about he the vessels we use to mix the
oils and lye in? getting pedantic now? any thoughts or experiences?

Yes I have seen this happen. It was still possibly the different
temperatures created in the different molds.

Hi Gals/Guys
I made a batch of soap 10 days ago and it's been sitting in the spare
bedroom "curing" since then.
Soap "pudding" was put into a KMart silicone bar mould and because
there was mixture left over, I put the rest into a de Winkels clear plastic
yoghurt container. (Thought I'd be clever and have a lovely pyramid shape of
5-6 round soaps).
What is intriguing/interesting is that the soaps have turned out
different colours. The silicone one is a lovely creamy colour, while the
yoghurt container soap has a nice opaque look to it. They were both well
insulated prior to demoulding. I will try and upload photos to Facebook so
that you can see what I'm ranting about.
