When making homemade soap

How much cologne should one add to get a decent scent in the soap? Or is it all subjective? I do not have access to any of the little vials of scent oils.

Thanx!!!

I would not scent a soap with cologne. There are many stores, both brick-and-mortar and online, that sell essential and fragrance oils.

How much scent you use is usually one of the first things you hammer out when learning soap making. Try Googling for some soap making forums.
 
really depends on the essential oil you want to use. When I make batches of soap they're usually 2 pounds which is maybe 15-20 bars and for oils like cinnamon or clove i can put 5 drops in and get a nice smell but for things like jasmine a whole 1/2 ounce bottle does almost nothing...so really you have to do a kinda trial and error thing or research what other people have done.
