Consistently one of my best sellers fall into winter. The hot throw smells like the apple cider donut truck is nearby!
I could seriously eat this ( DONT DO THAT) lol this scent is the perfect apple cider donut scent , I’ll definitely be back for more !
AMAZING!! One of my best sellers!! It’s so good on its own and blends!! Everyone always smells it and they are hooked!!
Absolutely smells like you are baking these things! Amazing!!
My absolute favorite apple scent. It’s no wonder my clients love it so much🍎🍩
OOB is ok, but day 3 of testing this with coconut soy wax and there is absolutely no hot throw. I've asked 2 others if they were able to smell the scent and neither could. Not sure what to do with the remaining fragrance oil that I spent my money on.
Apple cider donut is by far my favorite apple scent of any that I have tried. My customers also love this, and I plan to feature this scent as an option all year.
Practically No doughnut smell .
I mean who doesn't like donuts. This is one of my favorites. Good mix of spice and sweet
Love how strong this is. Thank you
The cider scent is too strong
Love this fragrance so much!! I can't way to get it in wax. Oob it's amazing- very apple cider forward
Ok this is the top of my favorite scents> i absolutely love this one . Had to order a bigger bottle as soon as it was in stock again. all time favorite and it throws wonderful
Has a great HT in my coconut soy waxmelt. Very nice Fall scent too.
This scent is amazing OOB and the hot throw is just as great! This was one of my top seller's last fall.
O M G this is gotta be one of the best apple cider doughnuts oils out there. This one will definitely be in every fall launch from here and out.
Love midwesr fragrance .. fast and reasonable shipping cost!
AMAZING! Hot throw and cold are spot on. It's creepy how much they smell like a real freshly made apple cider donut.
Year round favorite
Oh man, there aren't enough characters available in this review box for this scent. HANDS DOWN one of the BEST scents MWFC has ever made!!!
It will literally make you mouth water...it's so so good in soy wax.
You can smell the apple cider, the cinnamon sugar, the fried dough. It smells like you just bit into a fresh new england apple cider donut, and there's just nothing like that! This will ALWAYS be a part of my fall collection!
One of my personal all-time favorite fragrances. I'm a sucker for anything apple and this one tops them all! Not too sweet, so warm and cozy! Customers love it year-round!
It does indeed turn very dark brown, but smells great. If it didn't darken, I'd give it 5 stars.
I am not a fan of bakery scents, but several of my customers are so it is hard for me to enjoy some of the fragrances I use. This scent has blown me away! It's delicious without being overpowering and is true to it's name. Most gourmand scents seems so artificial, but this one is just delightful.
One of my personal favorites. I love donuts and this smells like a warm donut just out of the microwave.
One of my favorites!
I haven't used this in my candles yet but it smells really good. I have used it in some wax melts and it smells amazing!! I love it!!
Oh my soul! This smell is absolutely delicious!!! My wax melts are absolutely phenomenal!!!
This is one of the best fall fragrances ever! Customers are going crazy over this one. scent throw in 464 is amazing. testing wax melts next
This s ent is a home run!! I am constantly getting orders for this fall scent.
Smells like an actual doughnut. Scent retention is strong. Discolors to dark brown. This is always a great seller in the fall.
This is sooooo delicious-smelling! I’ve tried a lot of cider donuts, and smelled many apple FOs, and this one is BY FAR the best apple cider donut FO. It smells absolutely delicious.

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you!

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 checkIFRA 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!
