Recently picked up a litre of cold-pressed bitter almond oil to test in CP soaps. I'm trying to figure if the SAP value is similar for the two. So, a bit confused about the usage rate. Search results mostly yielded bitter almond essential oil that's super fragrant and used in small quantities for its fragrance.

a) The Bitter Almond oil I received is pretty much odourless.
b) The Sweet Almond oil that I order from a different supplier has a sweet and nutty fragrance.

As of now I'm considering using it at 10%.

Also wondering about the difference in properties between two.

All inputs are appreciated :) xx
