I soaped this today, smells fantastic OOB, it seized up on me so fast though, I had a hard time getting all the FO incorporated and had to spoon it into the mold. So much for the swirl I had planned for that one!
 
WSP's site lists Cedar, Sage and Coriander EO's...it smells like a forest, which is just my type of scent. It's going to be one of my "man soap" Christmas gifts this year.

It's cut and curing on the shelf now. I ended up rebatching, because there were so many air pockets when I glopped it in the mold that it was just ugly. I was pretty dismayed at having to rebatch, but it looks good now and the scent is still STRONG...I used 1 oz per lb, but I could have gone .5-.75 and probably been happy with it. I'm going to wait and see how it holds before I do another batch.
 
Next time your soap seizes, let it. Then let it gel in the pot. It will end up like hot process, without the rebatching.
