Aromas/Scents are created with feedback from multiple sources. They are as accurate as possible, but are the culmination of opinions. Opinions may vary.
As you can imagine, it is not possible for us to test every aroma with every known or unknown recipe or formulation.
Our testing with our aromas against essential oils show them to generally need to be used at the same percentage as formulations using essential oils. Sometimes even less is needed.
However, many of the scents have no essential oil equivalent to test against.
Also floral and citrus scents, like essential oils, tend to dissipate more easily.
This is especially true in soap formulations if they have no anchor note to help hold them.
The feedback we have gotten from our customers is very positive and we are always evaluating them and their performance, especially from customers utilizing both hot and cold processed soap.
Scent is very subjective and our opinion and the opinions of other customers may or may not be the same as yours.
Always do at least one small test batch as part of your research and development.
This should be done with any product you are making to assess how strong you feel the scent throw is before making a large batch and then make adjustments accordingly.

Commercially, the plant is grown mainly for the production of lavender essential oil. English lavender yields an oil with sweet overtones and can be used in balms, salves, perfumes, cosmetics, and topical applications. Lavandula × intermedia, also known as lavandin or Dutch lavender, hybrids of L. angustifolia and L. latifolia are widely cultivated for commercial use since their flowers tend to be bigger than those of English lavender and the plants tend to be easier to harvest. They yield a similar essential oil, but with higher levels of terpenes including camphor, which add a sharper overtone to the fragrance, regarded by some as of lower quality than that of English lavender.
