The quality of their fragrance oils is outstanding, and I’m especially impressed with the beautiful, unique scent selection. Parisian Café is one of my favorites—it is absolutely wonderful. The fragrances are thoughtfully crafted, elegant, and make candle making so enjoyable. I’m so happy I found Midwest Candle Company and will definitely be ordering again!
This is a very different and unique fragrance. Like sweet, floral but yet something bakery wise I can’t out my finger on it. It’s such a light bakery scent it’s almost unprovable. It’s like when you’re breathing out you can smell the bakery notes. It’s very lovely though and I would highly reccomend this unique scent
Smells really good
My new favorite for Mother’s Day
Burning this in a candle smells like baking chocolate croissants. It’s elegant and remarkably clean. I’ve had a candle with this accurate a buttery fresh pastry fragrance before. It really does smell like an expensive patisserie!
This had the whole house smelling divine. Makes great candles.
I chose this originally to make a custom candle for a friend but once I opened the bottle, I knew that I would order more! I do mix a tiny bit of a rose scent with it but honestly, it is one of my top 5 scents! For some reason, it isn't letting me upload a picture.
Parisian Café is a really nice scent, it’s not one of my most popular but but it is a really nice fragrance
The perfect Perisian scent where you are transported to a cafe in Paris. The fragrance is wonderful and the Midwest Fragrance company offers superb customer care upon every order!!!
Smelt strong! Kind of sweet! Fast shipping, fair amount of oil on the bottle! Satisfied customer!
I blended this with oatmilk & honey and OMG.. it is literally mouth watering! The HT is amazing!
I am not a cookie or cake fragrance girl. I bought this because of the reviews on YouTube. They said it smelled like a bakery a little. Boy did they lie. It smelled like I stepped into a bakery. While I love the bakery smell. But only when I go into a bakery to buy pastries. So this FO is not for me.
This fragrance is intoxicatingly delicious and very potent. I made wax melts about 7 days ago, with 10% fragrance load, and wowsers! I tested in my bedroom, in 3 electric warmers, and the hot throw is phenomenal. I would definitely say this is a gourmand scent, but I'm still waiting to see how the scent changes after the 8 hour mark. I have no doubt that I will be getting either a 1lb bottle, or another 8 ounce. So rich, delicious, and cozy!
One of my faves in this new collection for sure!! All the feels coming from this! The best HT from my candles and wax melts! LOVE it!!
It dries down fast… to a sugary musk with subtle tea/floral notes.
This fragrance is truly a masterpiece!
It starts out with a blast of tea and bergamot and that stage lasts for the first 3 hours.
Then the Orange Blossom, Caramel and Musk take over and the Bergamot somehow INCREASES in its potency on skin!
This stage lasts for a good 2-3 hours and it's just a sweet Bergamot/Orange Blossom cloud of loveliness.
Then when the fragrance dries down to its final stage...the sweet Bergamot/Orange Blossom mix tones down and the musk really mixes with the vanilla and some woody aspect of the fragrance. This stays on skin for the next stage and wraps you in a cocoon of warm but softly bright tenderness.
I never experienced the "Buttery Croissant" aspect of this fragrance, maybe I need to adjust my mixture levels in testing, but the fresh and bright citrus aspects of this fragrance stand out the most in my experience.
I absolutely love this fragrance! You can't smell all the notes in the bottle at first but it's my new favorite wax melt. I feel super cozy in my office at work with this scent.

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!
