Okay, so I've done lots of research (gotta get all my p's and q's in order) and I'm staring at my list of essential oils, going 'how much do I really need?'

This is where you come in! If you're using undiluted essential oils, approximately how much are you using per pound of oil or finished soap? Understandably, the quantity will vary on the essential oil(s) in question, so is there a standard range, or is this all over the map? What about absolutes??

Thanks very much for your time everyone!

I wouldn't use absolutes because they are really really expensive. Generally one ounce of oils per pound of soap.
