From Cheryl:
When you have a problem fragrance (you know up front it's going to be a problem) - use just a cup or so of your warm batch oils and add that to the fragrance and let it sit. Reserve another cup or so, depending on your batch size and set it aside as well. Stick blend your lye and oils as you would normally and then hand stir in your fragrance and it's accompanying oil (still keep that extra cup or so aside). Only stick blend if absolutely necessary. Separate out into your colors and now you can use that extra cup of oils that you kept aside to loosen up any batter that may need it. If your superfat is on the low side you could also add a bit extra of some olive oil to loosen it up or even some water - but hand stir only. You can't plan on any intricate swirls or designs but most basic things you should be able to do. I have a batch myself I did yesterday with some Lilac and she's leaking a bit of fragrance oil on me and is looking a bit funky - good thing I love lilac!
