I did it three times then I soaped with it I used kaolin clay to help stick the oils that came from the blossoms in, & the soap smells kinda sweet, not exactly like honeysuckle. though. (maybe like honeysuckle mixed with cocoa butter)

When you say you did it 3 times, do you mean you triple infused? If so, well done! I think it's gorgeous!
 
I infused about 3 ounces of grapeseed oil with 3 packed down cups of honeysuckle total, by the time I did the 3rd 1 cup infusion, it had a scent, not sure it stuck well though.
 
Did you dry the blossoms or infuse with fresh?

I infused with fresh, took a week, cause I infused for 36 hours, strained squeezed out the oil then infused same oil with more fresh honeysuckle & repeated one more time. I'm now thinking of using Vodka & fresh grated orange peel, avoiding the white part..& repeating till the vodka smells strong of orange...only problem is I'll need to give the orange themselves to family members to eat, as I'm allergic to oranges, Oh & I'll add a cinnamon stick & cloves as well.
