FO amounts in M&P soap

Just wondering how much FO everyone adds for M&P soap. My M&P soap bars are about 6-7 oz. each and I add 2 tsp of FO. Most of my customers request strongly scented soaps and I feel this is pretty strong. How much more could I push it? How much FO/EO do you add? Curious to see how others do it.

1/2 oz. for how much base? That's 3 tsp, could I add that to a 6oz. bar?

To 1# of base, I add 1/4 oz for light, 1/2 oz for strong, and 1 oz is the max.
For 1 oz of base (like if I'm doing soap petals), I use 1/2 mL for light and 1 mL for strong - then I measure using pipettes instead of weighing.
