Couldn't find this info on BB?????? Is it safe to say most are 3% anyway?

Side note: On average, what size FO do you buy and how long does it usually last you????

I follow the IFRA guidelines or the vendors' guidelines. If I'm not sure, I email the vendor, since fragrance oils have proprietary compounds.

Amber, BB's fragrance calculator is located here: . That will tell you how much to use for fragrances you get from BB. To find the calculator again, there's a link to it on the left-hand side of every Brambleberry store page toward the bottom. So you can get to it from almost every page on their site. Email or phone your other suppliers if the information isn't on their site.

In terms of size of bottles, I buy small bottles (1 oz) for fragrances I haven't smelled or used before, so I can test if I like them. If I have a chance to smell an FO in the bottle, and like it, I'm willing to buy 4 or 8 oz to test it out. Once I know I like a fragrance, I normally pick up 16 oz bottles. So with an average usage rate of 0.6 oz per pound (I just made that up but it's probably close for me), how long they last really depends on how big of soap batches you make and how often. :D

No it is not safe to assume anything. You need to check each and every eo/fo and the vendor's of each fo, since just because a name is the same doesn't mean the recipe is. I use the IFRA guidelines when available and for the few fo's I use, I go by what the vendor recommends. When a vendor tells me that they "generally recommend..." I don't use them any more!
