If I want a strong smell in my soap how much % of EO and FO should I put in my soap. I know citrus fades in EO but I've been putting 5% and after a couple of months of cure I can hardly smell the EO,s. do you all think its a waste of time going to the expense of using EO in soap and just go with FO?
 
I think to get a good scent from eo you need to anchor it with a base note oil. Also when using the soap the eo will be released as and when used. Hope this helps :)
 
Ok thanks ill try the soap. It's just people always pick up the soap to smell so I want something strong and lasting.
 
What is the difference between puting the EO in trace or in oils?
