Fragrance Oils
Do you offer free samples?
+At this time we do not offer free samples, but we have found our 2 oz. bottle is perfect for sampling. These can be purchased on our website, and are among the lowest costs in the industry.
What size bottles do you sell?
+Our fragrances are sold in 2 oz., 8 oz., and 16 oz. bottles. We offer a 5 lb. option at a discount on the website, but this will still consist of five (5) 16 oz. bottles.
Where are your fragrance oils manufactured?
+All of our fragrance oils are manufactured in the USA.
Do you have a minimum order size?
+MWFC does not have a minimum order size. Keep in mind, though, that we do have a minimum flat rate shipping cost of $7.99 per order in the contiguous US.
Do you offer larger or bulk size orders?
+We offer a 5 lb. option at a discount on the website.
If you are looking for bulk fragrance of 10 or 25 lbs. or more , please reach out to our customer service team.
To inquire or order, please email us at hello@midwestfragranceco.com with the scent and quantity you are interested in! Each scent would vary slightly in pricing/discount. That information can be provided at the time of request. The lead time for all quantities would vary based on current stock on hand.
There is something out of stock on the website. When will it be restocked?
+The website is updated in real time, and we make every effort to restock items as quickly as possible. If a fragrance is unavailable for the foreseeable future, it will be clearly marked. When known, we also include projected re-stocking dates on out of stock items. You can sign up on our website on the listing itself to get an email notification when it is restocked! We do our best to keep up with stocking and it’s most likely on its way! Feel free to reach out to our customer service team for a better time estimate!
Why aren't my bottles full? Why are some fuller than others?
+We bottle our fragrances by weight not volume as each fragrance has a different density. This helps us to be more precise and consistent and we also recommend makers do the same (weighing oils) to measure how much to put in the product for the same reason.
Some oils are much heavier than others and that’s why some appear to be lower, however the advertised weight should be correct. If you would like to verify that you received the correct fill line, you may send an image to hello@midwestfragranceco.com or you can weigh it yourself to check!
This information is listed on the website as well as we try to be as transparent as possible. We also include “care cards” with initial orders to answer questions like this for everyone. Please read over that for more helpful fragrance care recommendations and more info! Click here to see the care card.
What are some of your strongest scents?
+This is definitely up to personal preference and different for everyone. The stronger scents (in our personal opinion) are:
- Cedar Musk + Lavender
- Cocoa Butter Cashmere
- Dark Amber Rosewood
- Espresso
- Fruit Loops
- Honey Spiced Pear
- Iced Vanilla Woods (type)
- Mango + Coconut Milk
- Sea Salt + Orchid
- Sweater Weather (type)
- Volcano (type)
There are definitely LOTS more but this is a good start!
Are your fragrance oils reed diffuser compatible?
+Most are. We have not tested every oil yet. These are listed in our IFRA Compliance Sheets under category 10A for maximum amount. Keep in mind this % is the absolute maximum but is not recommended for a usage rate. The ones we have tested have done well around 25% FO (if the % allows). Scents that have cinnamons, vanillas, and overall are "thicker" consistency and may be more difficult to work with for diffusers. We strongly recommend that you perform your own testing and research for your personal preferences/safety for your business.
Can your fragrance oils be used in room sprays?
+Yes, they can be. These maximum usage rates are listed in our IFRA Compliance Sheets under category 10B. Keep in mind this % is the absolute maximum but is not recommended for a usage rate. We suggest no more than 10% FO (if the % allows). We strongly recommend that you perform your own testing and research for your personal preferences/safety for your business.
Why is my fragrance oil a different color than one I received before?
+Color variations can and do occur for a variety of reasons. Any time natural ingredients are used, color variations are likely. Each ‘crop’ produced and harvested is unique. Other things that can affect the color of a fragrance oil are natural oxidation through exposure to light and oxygen. This is seen most often in fragrances with a high vanillin content. It’s important to remember that the color of the oil does not have an effect on the fragrance of the oil and how it will work in your product. We work with our manufacturers and quality control to ensure the molecular structure of each fragrance oil we sell is precise in order to give you consistent results you can trust.
Can I use Midwest Fragrance Company's images and text for my own products?
+While we are flattered that you would like to use our images and text, it is not permitted. The images we use on our website have either been created or purchased by MWFC for this express purpose. We do not have a license to sell or give them away. You are permitted to draw inspiration from our descriptions when creating your own product branding, but we encourage you to make it truly your own rather than copying our verbiage.
What does the word (type) after a fragrance mean?
+The word (type) indicates the fragrance is very similar to a product whose name is a trademarked name or brand. It is recommended that makers do not use this name in their finished products.
