Teach Soap

Hi All
I made this soap with Christmas Forest, and I don't like the look of it (FO at 2.67% which was 2.5% rounded up by a few ml to make it quicker to measure with my measuring spoon!! The smell is quite strong but it's the look of the soap I didn't like at all), so I cubed it and put it in a white base and I now absolutely love it (added what CF FO I had left and that turned out to be less than 1% of the oils... I had less than 10 ml left for 1200 grams of oils)
I have the other half of the soap to cube, but ran out of Christmas Forest and my local supplier is out at the moment! *gasp*

I have Black Spruce, Balsam Fir, Cedarwood Himalayan, and Sweet Orange (photo sensitising though) EO
I alos have Mahogany Spice FO (not BB ) which I had a sniff of next to the soap (my high tech soap blending!) and that could be a nice combo too

Basically I came here wondering if anyone could tell me if these FOs shouldn't be used in soap (from experience) and if they have a FO they've blended with Christmas Forest with success. Also if you know if the FOs cause discoloration at all? (yes, I know how to use google, and will... just hoping for some friendly advice from people who may have been there )

and to thank you for your time, here's the soaps before,

and after:


The top of the soap was beautifully swirled, and when cut transversally to make the cubes, nice swirl patterns appeared, and that's what you see in the "after" soap.

Thanks all!!
