I admit to being cautious about screwing the lather up in some way. The Givenchy is my second selection for adding to an ounce of unscented XPEC, with the first being a Creed based frag. With that stuff I added a fair bit to the cream but got only a faint scent during the shave.
The Xeryus is a medium strength EdT and so far I have added maybe 30 small drops and still not all that much scent in the lather. It needs more and so far the lather's still fine. I will see what happens when more is added.
Might be other notes added that are stronger and would take less.....still playing with it. Seems like the unscented just kind of absorbs fragrance additions for the most part.

Forgive me for butting in gentlemen but I am just as curious as all hell about this. I can understand an original attempt to stir a frag into unscented Xpec cream but, if you learn from that attempt that it takes a lot of frag to make a discernible difference to the small you get whilst shaving, I wonder why you pursue the idea further. You put a lot of rare/expensive perfume into the shaving cream, whip up a lather, shave and flush everything, including lots of expensive/rare perfume into the sewerage system. Would you not achieve a better/more long lasting scentification of your esteemed personages by applying the rare/expensive perfume to yourselves, your skin, your manly musculature, your bodies before shaving - then sniffing it up before, during and after shaving with that wonderful cream we fondly know as Xpec Unscented? Why are you hooked on the cream smelling instead of yourselves smelling?
Btb, it is impossible to be "mixing the unscented Xpec with other scents". The only solution to that problem is to buy some Xpec Unscented Edt and mix that in first, then you can add other scents - I think. Anyway, it's available from Honest Fred on the Bay - but it is quite expensive, as you'd imagine.
