What are fragrance oils?

Fragrance oils are substances created by perfumers to mimic a particular scent. From fruity and fresh scents to baked goods, seasonal specialities, and floral fantasies, the aromatic possibilities are endless.

What can fragrance oils be used for?

Much like our pure essential oils, our premium fragrance oils are perfect for making luxury candles and soaps due to their long-lasting, potent scents. 

Fragrance oils are also great for creating wax melts, bath bombs and reed diffusers, along with a wide range of other bath and body products.

What are the best fragrance oils for candles? 

The great thing about fragrance oils is that they can accommodate a number of scent preferences and possibilities, however, there are some fragrance oils that are considered most popular for use in candles.

Vanilla: This classic, luxurious scent is a great base fragrance oil for candle-making due to its rich and versatile scent. Our vanilla fragrance oils come in a number of varieties including Vanilla Oak, Vanilla Bean and Vanilla Cream. 

Fresh Linen (Floral): Ideal for creating the timeless aroma of cleanliness, this premium fragrance oil combines delicate notes of baby powder and light musk with soft stains of lavender, jasmine and tulip.

Lavender: Sweet and delicate with a strong resemblance to our Lavender Pure Essential Oil, this fragrance oil is also a great base for classic and calming candle-making, combining soft florals with fresh herbal notes.

All of these fragrance oils are also perfect for making luxury soaps and wax melts.

What's the difference between essential oils, fragrance oils and blends?

Essential oils are natural substances derived from plants, fruits, trees and herbs.

Fragrance oils, on the other hand, are created by perfumers to mimic a particular scent profile.

All of our essential oils are 100% pure and natural, and our homemade blends combine the essential oils to create bottles packed full of benefits for your wellbeing.
