Candle Science Reviews
Any scent that says bath/body is fine for soap.
I have used some scents from there at 1 oz per 2 lbs when I only had a 1 oz sample but generally use 1 oz per pound of soap. The cherry was great at 1 oz per 2 pounds.
I personally prefer fresh fruity/berry scents and herbal scents.
I'll list which ones I've tried for you but you may have scents you like that I don't and vice versa.
I don't oven process. I will stack molds in soaps that need a forced gel but that is all.

Chardonnay- no A or D-I think this smells gross! But I've sold some and it seems to be a love or hate thing!
Milk Chocolate-no A D to dark brown, just light enough to see some of my cocoa swirls-needs a little bit more scent
