Scent Description
- ✨ Fragrance Name Update
- The fragrance oil previously known as Spiced Winter Tea will now be renamed to Spiced Tea.
- A few important things to know:
- • The fragrance oil itself is NOT changing
- • The formulation remains exactly the same
- • Only the fragrance name is being updated
- Why the update?
- As we've continued to refine our fragrance collection, we've worked to make sure each name feels like a good fit for the scent. Spiced Tea gives the fragrance a little more room to shine year-round, while still being the exact same scent you know and love.
A warm, spiced tea blend with just the right mix of sweetness and spice. Sweet peppermint and cinnamon open the fragrance, followed by black bergamot tea, warm nutmeg, and ginger root. Honey and vanilla soften everything out, with clove adding a little extra warmth at the base. It’s cozy without feeling overly seasonal, which makes it an easy one to reach for well beyond the winter months.
Top Notes: Sweet Peppermint, Cinnamon Sticks
Middle Notes: Black Bergamot Tea, Warm Nutmeg, Ginger Root
Base Notes: Honey, Vanilla, Clove Spice

I blended this one with Mulberry Madness and I can't tell you how good it smells! I have used it so far in CP soap. This is one I will have in my fall line forever! I have not used it yet on its own but I do feel like it can stand on its own very well. The usage amounts for CP soap has a low usage rate (3.8% I believe) but not horrible & I am not sure if that would even matter. Make sure you don't judge the fragrance OOB. You need to put it in product. The spicy notes remind me of cold winter nights when I make spiced cider and sit and watch Holiday movies. Can't wait to use this in more products. I think this will be a huge hit in candles.
I love cinnamon so this is perfect. I might have to use it year round in my cold process soap. My house smelled amazing for many hours!! Love it!!
Smells absolutely divine! Warm spicy sweet and comforting all in one
This is my favorite fall/winter scent that I would honestly burn all year round. It reminds me of an authentic simmer pot or winter tea scent. The fragrance is completely fresh and natural smelling which I’m very particular about. At first whiff you smell the warm cinnamon and it is rounded out with ginger and tea notes that smell real. It’s such a cozy yet bright fragrance that is palatable to have lingering in the home without tiring. It smells smooth, clean, and warm. 🍂 I’d highly recommend!
I adore this scent. It has become a classic to burn in my house around Christmas. It's warm and cozy with a bit of spice. Customers seem to like it as well. Definitely worth a buy!
If any of my customers are looking for something with cinnamon, I’m always pointing them to this one! I keep it year round
I chose this for our winter collection and was hesitantly optimistic. Don’t sleep on this one. My customers LOVE it! It’s spicy, cozy and a great winter scent.
Well, I originally said this smelled a little medicinal but once it cured it has a beautiful warm fragrance. Just had a two day show and solds all 10 bars. People loved it! I'm making a few more loaves today!
This one smelled a little medicinal, at first, but I loved the spicy fragrance. I'll let you know once it cures.
Great winter scent.
I recently discovered MWFC and this is one of the first scents I tried. I made candles with 464 at 8% FO and this blew my mind! The scent is so warm and cozy, it really does invoke feelings of sipping a hot mug of winter spiced tea. Cold throw and hot throw are both 10/10. I haven't introduced this to my customers yet, but I know a winner when I smell one and this is it!!
A unique and absolutely stunner of a blend
I make a homemade spice tea every year & this smells so much like it! This is going to be a big winner for me come next fall/winter! Just makes you wanna snuggle up next to the fireplace & have a cup of tea with a book! Amazing strong scent.
Always happy with these fragrances! Definitely a keeper!
A spicy winter fragrance that I really enjoy.
This scent quickly became a best seller for my Winter Collection! Every product I make with it sells! Worked excellent in my cp soap. Slight light tan discoloration, but it’s gorgeous and worked with my design!
Gorgeous fragrance , thanks 😊
When I first got this I thought maybe the cinnamon was going to be to much. I used in my CP soap and the scent calmed down. It's a cinnamon spice scent with notes of tea. I Def will be getting this fragrance again next year!
Amazing smell love it
First timer with this one and it doesn’t disappoint. Subtle. Not too strong, I love it!
Reminds me of Christmas/autumnal day. It is amazing when mixed too!
Perfect spiced tea scent. Good for all seasons
Amazing mixed!
Love it! More of a spa scent.
Perfect FO to add to any tea blend you are making. I have a chai blend that was missing something and this fixed it right up!
Warm and comforting is what I feel with with this scent. Great CT and HT in coconut soy blend. A keeper for sure!
I absolutely love this fragrance. It worked really well with the coco apricot wax and has a lovely warm, spicy smell.
This scent reminds me of black tea. You really get the bergamot in it. It’s very nice in wax.
This is so warm and scrumptious! I've used in bath bombs and air spray. Gorgeous.
I can smell the tea and cinnamon sticks the most and it’s my fave scent right now.
Received this fragrance oil from the winter collection and I love the smell of this! Reminds me so much of my usual night tea - ginger aid. Feeling so wintery!
So Delicious
