If I want to use a FO that is known to accelerate and I'm not a very experienced soaper I should soap with lower temps?
I should use full liquid amounts?
Any oils (soft or hard) better to use with this kind of fragrance?
 
Yes, soap cooler and use the full liquid amount and use a stainless steel whisk instead of the stick blender. Try to use water, as I've seen that milk soaps may also help set up a normal formula faster, at least in my experience they do LOL. Also, try adding the FO into the oils before you add the lye water in - that way your FO is dispersed into the oils and you may get a little bit extra time with it. You may want to use more soft oils like 40-50% olive oil, then add in the hard oils you know you WANT in there and then fill out the rest with a little bit more soft oil, since olive oil does take a LONG time to come to trace, it should help slow it down a bit.

I tend to just HP these FOs :/
