The best ever,for me and I can't stress that enough when it comes to reviewing because everyone has different scent profiles they smell. It is such a strong creamy butterscotch with just a subtle amount of bourbon. I load titan 51104 and with a 6oz salsa jar the hot throw reaches 2 rooms away in my house,one of the strongest Ht.
This fragrance is one of my best sellers. Works great in CP soap. Discolors but you work around that.
This is the best-smelling fragrance oil I have ever bought. I have it in all 5 of my oil diffusers throughout my home. I will buy from this company again!
Midwest Fragrance Company is truly the BEST there is!! They have just superior fragrance oils, fast shipping and they truly care about all their customers!! I’m a FOREVER customer!! Butterscotch Bourbon is just so good!! I use it as a stand alone and also some of my blends!! Thank you MWFC!!!
Smells so good. Definitely get the butterscotch scent
Happy to say that I have found THE go-to candle fragrance supply. Midwest is extremely communicative, helpful and provides high-quality maker's supplies for a variety of crafts. I love all the scents that I chose and I am excited to start my candle-making journey, thanks to Midwest Fragrance Company!!! Thank you Kenna and Doug!
One of my favorite scents! I use this as a stand alone and mix with other fragrances for custom creations
Love this fragrance! Can’t wait to add it to my collection.
This is such a nice fragrance. Made a candle using coconut apricot soy wax.
Curing now--can not wait to burn it. Packaged nicely and mailed out quickly.
Thank you.
Rich, buttery & balanced perfectly for soap making & homemade body butters. This particular fragrance marries well with Cupuaco butter. I cant say enough good about this company, the highest quality products!
Great fragrances
One of my all time favorites! Smells great! 1st using from Midwest and i love the fragrance
I am using this fragrance as part of a new GenX Version of candles. I'm calling it Pony Boy - Golden, and think the rich butterscotch scent will match perfectly for that nostalgic scent note.
Thus oil smells so good!!
My favorite scent so far by MWFC. Scent throw is amazing & there will be multiple orders of this scent from me in the future!
This is amazing.
This is a Reorder it’s becoming quite a favorite the smell cold or hot is amazing!!!!! Awesome fragrance!!!!!!
This right here wow smells amazing I will be ordering a lot more of this one. It’s better than I expected Awesome scent!
This scent is absolutely amazing!! I love it and am so excited to have found a place that offers it.
This is a staple in my candle line and a best seller. Also, there is a big difference from other vendors in this scent and they DO NOT compare. I will only buy this scent from Midwest Fragrance Co., they never disappoint.
Really LOVE this scent out of the bottle. However, I've tried it on 2 separate batches of CP soap at 120F and both times the beautiful distinct scents of butterscotch and bourbon disappear and I'm left with just a vaguely indistinguishable sweet scent that doesn't sell well. That being said it does just fine in seasonal bath bombs - just disappointed about the retention in soap.
This scent is amazing! It makes my mouth water....so delicious!
I LOVE this sweet smelling fragramce, it has a strong cold and hot throw.
Bourbon Butterscotch is a staple in our candle lineup. We blend it in our Caramel Latte and in our holiday Hot Buttered Bourbon candle, and our customers love it. There'd be a mutiny if we discontinued these!
Buttery, creamy, sweet and bourbony😄. Lovely and loved by my customers fragrance 🥰
This is a strong butterscotch fragrance, in my opinion. It’s wonderful! I did have to titrate down my percentage in my wax melts, 6% was still a little heavy and I could smell it outside of the packaging. 4% seemed to be the ticket.
This is a great fall scent, Bakery scents are my favorite and my customers love this scent.
Awesome throw
Second bottle very much loved
Easily my best seller year round. Has such a smooth butterscotch smell. Several people comment that they don’t even prefer “sweet” noted candles and end up choosing this scent. I have it in candles and linen sprays.
Love this scent so much I had to order more in a larger size!

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. Need more tips? Check out our resources—we love helping makers like 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!
