I love this fragrance scent!!! I have started some candles with the scent and they’re going to be titled “Desert Sunset”. I’m still completing them, but I love the scent so far!!!
I make my own blends, and my niche leans into nature themes. Cactus Water has been making an appearance in a lot of my blends, and I'm in love. It has great throw - have used it in wax melts and EDP so far - as well as personal products for my laundry scent.
I wasnt sure at first what i thought buts so good for a clean but sweet scent
Perfect neutral and green clean smell. Thia is a hit with my customers. A++
I honestly wasn't expecting this scent to smell as fresh and aquatic as it did for some reason, but it's absolutely WONDERFUL.
Sold out quickly. Cold process soap. This scent is a refreshing, light clean scent. Reordered to replenish stock. Highly recommend!
I absolutely love this scent, and so does my hubby. I will definitely be purchasing this again, even though I live in Australia. It is a perfect scent in my eyes, so fresh but not over powering. Cactus water is my new favourite hands down..... Thank you Midwest.
This scent is so fresh and light, it really does evoke a desert oasis. I blended with a small amount of an amber-y fragrance for some oil-based roll-on perfume and it's fantastic.
This will hands down always be my favorite!
I am absolutely in love with Cactus Water. At first sniff I thought it was great but once it was cured in my soy wax melts I fell in love. So refreshing and Lush.
Please never get rid of this one! It is an awesome blender <3
Lovely scent in soy wax. Refreshing with a hint of floral.
Absolutely in LOVE with this scent!! perfect for my line! It is earthy but fresh and a hint of sweet floral that is soooo perfect. I don't smell patchouli at all. Has been a hit with customers and definitely ordering more!!! You guys did it again with an AMAZING custom scent! super high quality oils!
I understand that when certain strong fragrances such as cedarwood, patchouli etc. Are added into the mix, there's a fine line as to "How much" us going to drown out other fragrances. This is Straight Patchouli. I read the other reviews and it seems it's a hit because of its "Woodsy notes". But I can go to Walmart and purchase a bottle of Patchouli for $3.99 smells the same. I'm disappointed.
A light fragrance that sooooo relaxing that isn't too sweet!
This scent worked well in cold process no ricing no acceleration so far no color change. The scent isn’t as strong as I hoped. Maybe next time I’ll up it a percent. Nice fragrance overall.
This is one of my hubby's favorites. It's such a clean, relaxing scent & it's a great blender.
Reminds me of the after the rain smell…. My new favorite
It is sweet but not over powering. I would imagine a cactus smelling this way!
Delicate and sweet. I tested this on its own but can’t wait to try blending it too.
It is exactly what you would imagine a cactus smelling like! Wow!
A very nice unique light scent. I made hand lotions with it this morning and they smell awesome!
This smells AMAZING.
Out of bottle it's great, in wax it's great, and now I'm about to make soap with it. I'll definitely be purchasing again.

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!
