Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I use fragrance oils?

A: Fragrance oils are versatile and can be used in a variety of DIY projects! They're perfect for making candles, soaps, wax melts, and other home fragrance products. To use them, follow the recommended usage rates for your specific project. Always test a small batch first to ensure the scent performs well and meets your expectations. If you're crafting skin-care products, make sure to check that the fragrance oil is skin-safe and follow IFRA usage guidelines for safe application  and ensure the oil is compatible with your product type. 

Q: How much fragrance oil should I use? 

A: The amount of fragrance oil you should use depends on your project, personal preference and the manufacturer's recommendations. For candles, we recommend a fragrance load of 6-10% (or 1 oz. of fragrance oil per 1 lb. of wax for a 6% load). For soaps, usage rates often range from 0.5-1 ounce per pound of soap. Always refer to the specific usage rates in the IFRA guidelines provided with each fragrance to ensure safe and compliant use.

Q: What are the differences between fragrance oils and essential oils?

A: Fragrance oils are synthetic or blended oils designed to replicate specific scents, offering a wider variety of options and consistent results. Essential oils are natural extracts derived from plants, known for their therapeutic properties and more subtle, earthy scents.

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you! For candles, we recommend adding your fragrance to the melted wax when it’s at the correct temperature (usually around 185°F, but check your wax’s specs). Mix well, pour, and let the magic happen. For soap-making, our oils are perfect for melt-and-pour, cold process, or hot process soaps. Always follow recommended usage rates and do a small test batch to ensure everything works beautifully.

The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always check IFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
