I know there are variations but whats kinda the standard amount of fragrance oil for say a 1 lbs batch of CP soap? I have been using 1/2 an oz. per 1 lbs of soap and have been having good success. A couple are strong and a couple others are light. Of course the oil is the biggest factor I would say. A cinnamon is going to have a stronger scent then say a berry. Also, I am using a digital scale to get my weight for the fragrance oil. Is this the correct way or is there a fragrance measuring device I should have? Thanks!

I weigh my FO/EO. I use anywhere from .5 ppo to 1 oz ppo. Depends on the fragrance.
Very very seldom do I go less than 1 -1.1 oz ppo in salt bar usually around 1.3 oz ppo

It all depends on the FO. Make sure to check the safe usage rates of each of the oils you use. I usually use 1oz per pound of oils but as the others have said it all depends on the fo

Generally I go .75 to 1 oz PPO. I measure by volume. Because I'm a rebel like that.

I use between .75- 1.0 oz ppo as well. I mainly use Nature's Garden FO's, and they fill by weight not volume, so I do not weigh those but dump the whole ounce in. Other FO's I weigh.
