My Brown Sugar and Fig has NO SMELL. I emailed you about it but you said it came from a batch that was fine. If I hadn’t ordered a 8 oz. bottle I wouldn’t be saying anything but I was browsing, saw it and decided to write this review. I thought it must be me. Without saying anything I asked my husband how it smelled and he couldn’t smell anything either. I never made a candle from it. I’ve never made a candle that had no smell ootb. I did love the other fragrances that I received.
Used in cold process soap. LOVE IT!!! Did discolor a bit, but that was expected!
So glad i tried this fragrance! It’s awesome!
It was better then I expected!! Was unsure about the fig when looking for brown sugar, but it actually compliments it well.
I used to get this from another company but this one from midwest is way better. It’s a very classy scent!
I love so much this scent!
Amazinggggggg scent! I make a soap with it and my clients are obsessed
Great fragrance addition for candle or bath/body line! Great hot throw and a subtle neutral fragrance for lotions, scrubs, hand soaps etc! This is a go-to fragrance for gifting as well!
The fragrances are amazing and quick shipping!
This is a favorite among family and friends. It does discolor and accelerate a bit in cp soap, but it’s easy to work around if you plan ahead and the scent is worth it.
Since this is a type fragrance, the name I’ve chosen is, “Simply Irresistible”! It’s one of those candles that even not lit I want to keep smelling. You will not be disappointed! Try it if you haven’t.
Faint smell in CP soap.
I can definitely smell the brown sugar and the fig in this fragrance, it smells nice
This is better than my other brown sugar and fish fragrance oil from another supplier. The scent stays with me all day in the body spray I mixed.
Brown Sugar Fig is perfect for Fall or as a year-round scent. My customers love this most in candles and wax melts, but it is delightful in soap and body products as well. Very versatile scent that doesn't need to be blended. Its not overly sweet like many of our favorite bakery scents, its rather romantic and luxurious. The fig and brown sugar stand out equally in my opinion. Its a must have for any fragrance line!
I used this last year and it had long lasting scent retention in my cp soap. It's a very fall scent.
This smells so good and sweet OOB! Not sure what the original smells like. I used it in cold process soap 4 days ago at 4% fragrance load and I can hardly smell anything now. Hopefully it comes back during cure. May be good to use in other products but I won’t use in soap again.
The name threw me but I thought I'd give it a shot. I make wax melts and oh, this smells great...CT and HT👍
Very nice. Light, slightly sweet and spicy.
This is the absolute best version of this scent that I've found. Warm and sweet. Performs great in coconut soy. A great all year scent.
Bought this to make a room spray and it smells identical to the BBW that I remember and was looking for. Very, very pleased with this. Will definitely purchase again when I run out.
If you can imagine what Brown Sugar and Fig could smell like, this is it! Its beautiful, sexy and intriguing!
I bought this for a mixer, but smells so good gonna have to use it alone also!
Love the brown sugar in this one. Definitely a year round favorite
B&BW’s Brown Sugar & Fig was one of my favorite scents and I bought it regularly back in the early 2000s. This FO is spot-on! To me it smells exactly like the original. I’m a HUGE fan!
This scent is great to burn all year round.. earthy and sweet.
I love this FO. I just switched over this same fo from another company and that one was very earthy. But this Fragrance Oil smells very sweet! As soon as you open the bottle you can smell the vanilla and figs. I loved it from the start! it smells just like the real thing at BBW. Please keep this forever midwest!
Everything I’ve tried is great! This one is no exception. A must have in your collection.
This scent is not a personal favorite of mine. I would like it to be stronger in my CP soap. However, its performs very nicely in CP soap with only slight acceleration and discoloration were noted.
Such a soft scent but still very beautiful and bold in its own way. I really love this one!
This fragrance is hard to describe, however wonderful...HT is not to strong, it is just right. Will fill your favorite place with a comforting aroma.
I never get tired of this FO. I burn this year round and is in my collection year round as well!

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!
