Teach Soap

I have an addiction to fun shaped molds for MP soap. But I can't decide what FO's to use or offer. I have molds for animals, flowers, food, jewels, smiley faces, trains, holidays, you name it! With the specific shaped soaps, they tend to be more focused on the novelty of the color and design over the scent (vs. my CP soap that is a large batch of a single FO) so I tend to just make the shapes and list them as unscented. If I look at other online shops selling the same thing, they'll usually offer one type of fragrance per design or possibly 3-4 options. Since I make soap to order, I can add any FO... but I have some 60 + different FO's on the shelf and I don't want to give the customer an overwhelmingly LARGE list of options... but then I don't know if leaving them unscented is 'boring' or if limiting it to just 'cherry' or something generic might be a turn off too. (sometimes I've seen a cute design, but didn't like the FO it came in) So I'm trying to think of around 4 or so generic good scents that will appeal to a large audience of men/women/kids that I can offer and keep in stock in large quantities.

So what do you think or what do you offer?

Depending which mold it is, I offer four to five scents. I don't leave mine unscented.

I'd offer:
1 floral/citrus ~ lilac, rose, lemongrass, Yuzu, etc
1 food/drink ~ Oatmeal, Milk & Honey, Hot chocolate, etc.
1 manly scent ~ Kentish Rain, Tobacco, any beer or ale
1 herbal/spa ~ lavender, cucumber mint, green tea, etc

If you do kid soaps, I'd also offer 1 kid scent at least ~ bubble gum, monkey farts, soda, cotton candy
