My Lavender soap with coconut. Almond oil, Olive oil and cocoa butter with 30 drops of lavendula angustifolia (which is stronger) but after curing the aroma is lesser so next time I will use 50 -60 drops

EO & FO should always be measured by weight not drops. Drops are not accurate or consistent. If you are running your recipe through a soap calculator it will calculate how much to use based on the percentage you enter. It will give you grams and ounces.
 
Just wanted to add that there's even a special EO calculator: https://www.eocalc.com
If you run your eo (blend) through here, you're sure your soap is safe to use;) some EO's can be irritating at higher amounts.
 
@kyrietechnologyco Very nice!! And love the background cloth too!
I have to agree with the two previous posters, though. Try weighing your EO just as you do your oils & such. It'll make it much easier for you. ( Just give you a basic start, in US volume, 300 drops is roughly a half ounce )

Thanks a lot.
My correction I added Essentail oil just 20 ml not 20 drops.
