I used a recipe calculator thing I got from Miller Soap. I put my oils in and it gave me how much lye and water. I mixed them at 100 degrees and then started to get my soaps to trace. In another container I have my fragrance oil/essential oil blend as I mentioned before. I, honestly, don't have a clue how much I added. I never weigh my fragrances, I do them by tablespoons and as a general rule normally add about 1/2 of what is called for, because I don't like strong fragranced soaps. Anyhow, I have been making soap for years and for some reason, this one recipe tends to suck up the fragrance oil so bad that I can't hardly smell it. I have made this same recipe 3 times now and it just doesn't smell strong. SO - next time I guess I will just double whatever I used. Bad thing though - when my soap start to very very mildly trace - this is when I add the fragrance and I can't hardly get it in the soap before it tries to seize on my. NEXT TIME, I am going to put it in the oils before I add the lye. Maybe that will fix it. Oh and I tried this recipe twice cold process and the last time whipped and I still get hardly any fragrance. Strange. I have never had this with any other batch I have ever made. Oh well.
