How do I reduce the smell of store-bought liquid soap?
If the scent reaches out and touches you that much, it is likely volatile. Pour it in a pot, add a volume of water, heat on a hot plate outside your dwelling till the smell goes away. Evaporate to volume and check ingredients. You may want to add back a small amount of a desirable ingredient that boiled off. Raise the temperature slowly. A vigorous boil will make a real mess.
