Hi all! I am about to make a batch of patchouli soap after a long absence from soap making.

I will be making 40 bars at 5 oz. each (5130 gms of oil).

How much EO should I use? 16 oz or 8 oz? (I tend to scent on the heavy side). I am leaning toward 16 oz. but if that is just WAY too much, I'd like to know, considering how expensive the darned stuff is. I can't remember the amount I used to use.
I believe 3-5 % ?
I use bit of clay or arrowroot to fix the smell too! I love patchouli, Also nag champa & sandalwood! We have a similar nose me thinks 😉
