Advice needed.

I make soap using the hot process method. The soaps always come out great but within a couple of months the fragrance/essential oil is barely noticable. Also what preservatives are best for longer lasting soaps

If you are making bar soap, then no preservative is necessary. I always read the reviews attached to the FO description. They usually give an indication if the fragrance fades. What percentage FO are you using? Check the supplier recommendation for HP soap.

I use 1 tablespoon per pound of oils. And add the fragrance when the temp is between 150/60 F
