Teach Soap

Hi guys,
I am new to hot process soaping (being CP soaping for a few years). I love HP soaping, but I am still getting my head around what EO's work well in Hot process soap. I recently made a batch with Basil EO, Bergamot, Litsea and Lemon EOs. As soon as the soap set soap, all I could smell was the Basil. So, I was wondering if anyone has luck with getting citrus type oils like Bergamot, Tangerine or Orange 5x to stick in HP soap?

I would like to try and Orange 5x and Patchouli HP soap, with tangerine and Litsea added in small amounts. But I am afraid of wasting the EO's again. I know the flash points are low for citrus EOs, but even in CPOP soap I have had 5x orange stick.

Any thoughts or experiences would be great!

I prefer cold process soap with no gel. That way it gives the essential oils a batter chance to stick.
