I know i asked this before, but i know i dont use 1 oz per lb. of eo, they are So much stronger than fo. So, that lady that uses yl oils where are you?? do you use lemongrass in your soap, it is so much stronger than other places. How much did you use?
 
I think it ranges from .5 to .7 PPO depending on the eo and how strong you want the scent to be. I use .5 for lemongrass , it is strong to me and has staying power in the soap .

Here's the info I found,don't remember where...

Average eo's- .7oz/ppo (4ml/100g)
Strong(cinnamon,clove etc)- .4oz/ppo 2.5ml/100g)
Citrus- .9 oz/ppo (5.5ml/100g)

And it depends also on how much 'smell' you like. I do some stronger cos I like em,but others I'll drop back so theres just a hint.Plus,being eo's they do fade a bit

ETA..forgot the metric rates!
