Your Most Requested Fragrances ( + how to recreate them with MWFC fragrances!)
We recently asked our community a question... What fragrances do you wish MWFC carried?
And as we started going through your answers, we realized a lot of the fragrances the community requested already exist… sort of.
Sometimes the exact fragrance you have in mind is already hiding in our catalog under a different name. Other times, we have fragrances with similar notes that can get you surprisingly close. And sometimes, all it takes is blending two fragrances together to create the scent you’ve been wishing for.
We put together some of our favorite recommendations based on what you’ve been asking for.
From simple fragrances that are perfect for blending, to spa-inspired scents, luxury hotel vibes, and easy fragrance combinations, your next favorite scent might already be here.

Simple Fragrances For Blending
One request that we've seen over and over again is for fragrances that are more simple and can be easily blended with others.
While our fragrances aren’t technically single-note, we do carry plenty of simple, straightforward scent profiles that can work beautifully as building blocks in your own blends.
These are the kinds of fragrances that make experimenting simple. You can easily create a wide array of different blends with them, or even use them to add to another complex fragrance.
These basic fragrances can be incredibly useful to have on hand when you want to customize a scent or create something completely your own.

Fragrances Perfect For Spa Vibes
“Spa” was one of the themes we saw come up again and again in your requests. There’s something about those fresh, airy, clean, and calming scents that instantly makes a product feel a little more luxurious.
Whether you’re looking for something crisp and invigorating or soft and relaxing, here are some MWFC fragrances we think fit perfectly into that spa, fresh, and clean category:
Fragrances That Give Luxury Hotel Vibes
Another request we saw frequently was luxury hotel fragrances.
What we're imagining is walking into a hotel and immediately noticing that everything smells expensive. It’s clean, but refined- and that's exactly what these fragrances are giving to us.
These are some of the fragrances we’d recommend checking out:
Highly Requested Scents You Can Blend To Create
We also saw plenty of requests for very specific fragrance profiles that we don’t currently carry as a standalone fragrance...but you can easily blend to make them.
Blending fragrances is one of the easiest ways to create a new scent profile using oils you already have in your collection.
So, if you’ve been wishing we carried a particular scent, check out these combinations. You may be able to make it yourself!

Highly Requested Scents We Already Have (Under A Different Name!)
Sometimes the fragrance you’re looking for is already in the catalog, you just might know it by a different name.
We noticed several requests for fragrances that sounded very familiar to scents we already carry. Pina Colada, for example was a popular request- but did you know our Coconut Colada was inspired by the pina colada drink?
This is a great reminder to look beyond the name of a fragrance when you’re searching our catalog. A fragrance may not have the exact name you’re expecting, but the scent profile could be exactly what you’re after.
Here are a few of the fragrances you requested that we think are worth checking out:
Pina Colada = Coconut Colada
London Fog (or a lavender + vanilla scent!) = London Mist
Grapefruit (or paloma!) = Ruby Red Martini
Petrichor = Pacific Northwest
Birthday cake, cupcakes, etc = White Cake
Sugar cookies, frosted sugar cookies, etc = Sugar Cookie Royale
Orange = Island Citrus Splash
Banana candy = Monkey Farts
Sage = Wild Sage
Strawberry = Sweet Strawberry
Pumpkin spice = Toasted Pumpkin Spice
Peach = Georgia Peach
Don't Forget To Search By Scent Notes
If you’re searching for a very specific scent profile, don’t just search by the fragrance name you’re imagining. Search by the scent note, too!
On our website, you can search fragrance notes and all fragrances with that note will show up in your search.
For example, you might be looking for a fragrance with passionfruit and assume we don’t have anything that fits the bill. But a quick search through our website could lead you to Sunkissed Paradise, which includes passionfruit among its fragrance notes.
That’s why searching by individual scent notes can be such a helpful way to explore our catalog. You might discover a fragrance you never would have found by searching for the exact scent name you had in mind.
