Scent Description
- ✨ Fragrance Name Update
- The fragrance oil previously known as The Perfect Man will now be renamed to Rich & Handsome.
- 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?
- We’re beginning to give many of our duplicate fragrances their own unique MWFC names rather than using another brand’s fragrance name as the name of our product. Compare aroma to The Perfect Man®.
If you've been searching for that sexy masculine scent... this is it.
It starts fresh with Japanese grapefruit, bergamot, and lemon, then moves into smooth spice, cool marine notes, and a subtle hint of mint. As it settles, the woods, patchouli, and vetiver come through and give it that deeper, more refined feel.
It has that clean, put-together kind of feel without being too heavy or overly cologne-y. The woods and spice give it some depth, while still staying fresh.
Compare aroma to The Perfect Man®.
Top Notes: Japanese Grapefruit, Bergamot, Lemon

Base Notes: Patchouli, Cedar, Vetiver, Labdanum, Frankincense

This scent smells amazing and my clients love it! Great addition to make masculine candle collection.
This fragrance is AMAZING!!! I absolutely love it and so does everyone who smells it. Worked very well in cold processing. Will always keep this in stock!
The Perfect Man is hands-down one of the best masculine fragrance oils I’ve worked with. I use it in our beard oils and beard balms (it’s the main scent in our best seller, The Gentleman), and customers consistently mention how amazing it smells and how long it lasts. I even created a cologne with it and can’t wait to release it at our new permanent booth on May 23rd. Highly recommend if you want a true crowd-pleaser that performs.
Great!
I loved the scents i received.
My favorite masculine scent!
Nice scent. Perfect for males and females.
This fragrance smells so good. I made body washes and body oils for father's Day and it was a hit. My customers loved it. I will keep this in my line up
Smells FANTASTIC!!!!! Will buy again!
Love this company! Their fragrances are amazing and customer service is beyond compare!
Amazing! Believe it will be a good seller.
Me gustaron todas las fragancias las volver a comprar
Nice scent behaves well in CP soap
I know several makers who had huge success with this scent from the original company—so when it started getting pricier (and, honestly, a little less “wow”), a bunch of us were basically begging Midwest Fragrance Company to recreate it.
And man…did they deliver.
They didn’t just match it—they brought it back the way it used to smell years ago: stronger, richer, and (dare I say) even better than the original lately. It also behaves beautifully in soap (no ricing, no speeding up, no drama), and they’re super easy to work with. Switching suppliers always makes me nervous because re-testing is a whole process, but this checked every box and kept my best-seller safe.
If you’ve been hoping for a true comeback of this scent, Midwest Fragrance Company absolutely nailed it.
Why wouid you call this fragrance this name, i was expecting something amazing but no… lets see if my customers like it…
Wow!!!! This smells amazing
Oh my goodness! This is such a rich smell that smells so good. Reminds me of the best cologne!
I have been asking for this dupe for a couple of years --- and it was worth the wait. This scent has been the best-selling soap for my business for 3 years running. So, obviously, I was nervous about another dupe, but most of the FOs I use are MWFC. Out of the bottle it smells perfect --- hard to describe, but even 'better' than the other dupe I've been using. Can't wait to make my first soap batch with it.
Delish!!
Dreamy!! Performa beautifully in CP soap. Discolors to a light tan/lavender. Bright, masculine, and strong scent retention

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!
