I put the recommended amount of scent in and it smells perfect, but when it cures it seems to only have half the smell that it did before it hardened. Any help. Using BB scents

Are you using teaspoons or a scale? Scale is much more accurate. MP base needs no cure time. Cold process soap does. Which one are you working with?

I know I've had trouble with scents not holding. I asked here was told could be the FO/EO flash point.. Check with BB scents flash points. too high and the scent goes bye bye.. I try to go lower then the flash point. Oh btw flash point is the temp the scent will fade/poof being all gone. anyone else chime in on my infor about flash points.

Most fo's are going to be less strong once they've hardened then out of the bottle. At what temp are you adding the fo?
Also, when you use the soap, does the fo seem to come back? That happens in soap as well.
