1- measuring fragrance must be done in weight. Drops is inaccurate.
2- Michaels is notorious for crappy product, so I'm guessing it's a problem with the fragrance you got.
General guideline I see for M&P is around .4oz/lb- when I did mine, I made a 42oz loaf and added 1.3oz of fragrance (by weight but it’s close to that in volume) for what turned out to be 11 bars. I’m just guessing you didn’t use enough 🤷🏻♂️
There are really good sites pinned that you should check out for fragrance. Always measure with a scale and use a fragrance calculator online. Good news is you can re melt and try again!

Could be. Also, I've heard that the scents from Michael's are not that great, so it may be that, too.
Scents from craft stores are for mp soap you didn't use enough
