    How much Orange EO to make the scent last?

    Dcornett & Fiddletree thanks for your input. Fiddletree may I ask how much lemon EO do you use? I wish to try lemon but never tried it as I thought I would be even weaker than orange EO

    Soap won't set.

    I agree with all of the advice given here. There are 2 possible issues with this recipe that might be causing the soft soap, one is too much water and two is high % of soft oils (72%) IMO. Soaps with high% of soft oils like castille soaps stay softish for a while. My ratio of hard/soft oils is...
