The main thing to remember when you experience an issue with a soap batch is this: always go back to basics. Spending time with complicated formulas and adjustments will only lengthen the process further, so try and focus on your base components before moving forward. These include your lye solution strength, base carrier oils, and added fragrances. Occasionally, the amount of shea butter or cocoa butter used in cold-processed soap can negatively impact the final fragrance, so try to work with adjusting these or using a different, less heavily scented base. It is also a good idea to anchor your scents with middle and base notes that will prevent weaker aromas from fading. May chang and lemongrass are particularly solid choices if you're working with an all-citrus soap blend. Some other good choices for anchoring your soap scents include: Patchouli essential oil Cedarwood essential oil Cinnamon essential oil Vetiver essential oil Basil essential oil You can also choose to use fixatives like arrowroot powder or cornstarch (both of which are commonly used in body butters) to help anchor your scents better.
