Gingerbread is a fabulous Christmas scent! It’s warm, cozy, and captures the spirit of the holidays perfectly. This is definitely a must-have fragrance for the Christmas season!
This isn't a sweet sugary fake gingerbread scent. This smells like I'm literally baking gingerbread in my oven and I LOVE it.
One of my favorites it smells like a spicy gingerbreak. Great hot throw. I made wax melts with it and they did really well.
Will definitely be back for more
Customer love this, very high quality
I am personally not a fan of the ginger scent when it is strong but this wasn't bad. Very holidayish
Smells amazing. Fast chipping
Smelled fine
So good!
Great fragrance
This fragrance smells like a nice gingerbread cookie. However, I do wish it was a little stronger out of the bottle. Will be making a candle to test it out. Thank you!
Smells like it fresh out of the oven !!
This smells absolutely amazing!!!
I love this gingerbread so much! The feedback that I've gotten from customers has been very positive. It smells like someone just opened the oven and took out a fresh batch of gingerbread cookies. This fragrance is definitely a keeper!
The scent is very true to a house filled with the scent of baking gingerbread cookies. People smell it and smile in recognition.
Gingerbread can be either extra spicy or extra sweet. This one is a great balance of both. A good winter holiday option!
I love the smell of gingerbread cookies baking in the oven and this scent definitely captures it.
Truly an amazing scent. I love it - definitely my holiday favorite!
Oh my gosh! If you are looking for the perfect gingerbread scent this is it right here! This straight out of the bottle gives you that straight out of the oven gingersnap cookies smell!
Great amazing smell
This gingerbread is so amazing. I sell out of whatever I make with this!! Smells like a gingerbread cake is baking in the oven
Wonderful fragrance. Made my whole house smell like gingerbread! I had to add more additives to try to lighten the color. A slightly accelerated trace, but nothing I couldn’t work with.
Nice 👍🏾
Just like gingerbread cookies
Loved the FO in candles and waxmelts! One of my favorites. 😍
Using this in my squeeze melts and it is amazing!
This has been a huge favorite of mine, my family, and my customers... I sold out of my candles and most of my wax melts so far!
Smells amazing. I may keep this one year round!!
Love this in sugar scrub and plan to use in lotion.
Used in CP goats milk. Soaped at room temperature 80-85. No acceleration, does turn soap a medium brown. Used this to my advantage with a 2 tone look.
I love this scent by itself or mixed! Best one I have found!
I cannot get enough of Christmas fragrance oils, the CT and HT are both phenomenal
I made parasoy wax melts and they came out beautiful with a strong throw. I would highly recommend.

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!
