Black Rose Bourbon Fragrance Oil

Shop Black Rose Bourbon Fragrance Oil.

Black Rose Bourbon smells like candlelight in a dark room, brooding and beautiful in equal measure. Tangled dogwood and deep iceberg roses build a rich, full bodied floral heart, then the base turns smoky, with bourbon, vetiver, honey, and oud settling in thick and molten, like wax melting down a candle. It is well suited for soap making, candles, and other DIY projects.

• Scent family: Masculine
• Performance in cold process: Behaves well, no acceleration
• Discoloration: Tans over time
• Vanilla content: 0.50%, so expect some natural browning in cold process soap

Smoked Magnolia Fragrance Oil

Shop Smoked Magnolia Fragrance Oil. 

Smoked Magnolia smells like dark, leathery flowers, ripe, shadowy, and full. Black magnolia, plum blossom, and ripe blackberry open with a deep, velvety sweetness, while night-blooming jasmine anchors the middle into a complex floral. A smoldering base of dark patchouli, vanilla bean, and cashmere wood brings it to a close. It is rated for cold process soap and does not discolor or accelerate trace.

• Scent family: Floral
• Performance in cold process: Behaves well, no acceleration
• Discoloration: None
• Vanilla content: 0.00%, so your soap color stays true

Midnight Vines Fragrance Oil

Shop the Midnight Vines Fragrance Oil. 

Midnight Vines smells like a cool evening in the South, green and fresh upfront with dewy grass, baby's breath, and wild mint. An unexpected combination of purple honeysuckle, leather saddle, and black pepper keeps it moody and mysterious, while a base of smoky guaiacwood, scorched amberwood, and forest oakmoss grounds it in deep, resinous earth. It is well suited for soap, candles, and lotions.

• Scent family: Sweet
• Performance in cold process: Mild acceleration
• Discoloration: Tans over time
• Vanilla content: 0.20%

Sage and Spanish Moss Fragrance Oil

Shop the Sage and Spanish Moss Fragrance Oil.

Sage and Spanish Moss smells like rain-darkened earth at dusk, damp and quietly alive. Magnolia, hyacinth, and honey mandarin open with a faded sweetness, like flowers left on old stones, while sage and ginger cut through with a green herbal edge. A base of honey, amber, cedarwood, and patchouli settles in soft and grounded. It is rated for cold process soap and does not discolor or accelerate trace.

• Scent family: Green
• Performance in cold process: Behaves well, no acceleration
• Discoloration: None
• Vanilla content: 0.00%

Perfume Base

This ready-to-blend perfume base is built on two lightweight esters, so fragrance oil mixes right in with no extra steps or solubilizer needed.
