I scented one of my first shave soaps with small amounts of amyris FO and lemon FO, and the lemon seemed to vanish after a few weeks.
But for the last couple days, using the same twist-up tube shave stick, I'm suddenly getting a nice low level of lemon scent while I'm shaving. Can't really smell it in the stick, but it's definitely there in the lather.
So maybe HP soap hangs on to things like lemon FO better than cold process.
I'll put in twice as much next time, but unless I make more shave soap for fun, that will be a few years off, it looks like that 125 gr portion is going to give me superb shaves for more than a year.
