Directions:
To Determine The Amount of Fragrance Oil Used In A Product:

The amount of fragrance that should be used in a formulation depends on three factors:

1) The maximum amount of scent the product base will accept .
2) The maximum IFRA skin safe level.
3) The amount of fragrance that smells good in your product.

You will look at these three maximum guidelines and use the LOWEST percentage.

For example: Desired smell is 5%, making MP soap is 3%, and the IFRA max use is 15%. You should not use more than 3% in your product. This 3% is the lowest of all of those numbers.

Maximum Product Base Guidelines:

MP Soap: 3%
CP, HP, CPOP Soap: 6%
Lotions and Scrubs: 1 – 2%
Bath Salts, Fizziest & Tub Soaks: 5-10%
Candle Wax: 6-12% (see specific wax for exact levels)

To Determine The IFRA Guidelines:

IFRA is a self-regulating trade organization that together with the industry's scientific center RIFM (the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials), establishes usage safety standards for materials that comprise fragrance and essential oils. Each year IFRA updates their standards based on sound science.

Wholesale Supplies Plus updates IFRA documents annually so that customers can stay up-to-date with the latest science. If you find IFRA levels have changed for your formula, it is standard to take 2 years to update products in the market. You can find Wholesale Supplies Plus IFRA documents on the “documents” tab of this product page.

Additional Information:

Fragrance oils that contain vanilla or vanillin will change color. The color change can take days, weeks, or months and can vary from a light ivory to dark brown. Our Crafter’s Choice Vanilla Color Stabilizers and Crafter’s Choice Vanilla Color Neutralizer will prevent some products from changing color. Oils that are dark in color, contain floral notes or spices may in time naturally change color.

"Great scent for Face washes" COMMENTS:  I bought this by chance and I really like it. It is not strong or overwhelming but the right touch of a cleanliness scent. Great for a face wash. PRODUCT USED IN:   Exfoliants & Sugar Scrubs, Lotions, Creams & Butters

Michelle • West Virginia Date Submitted:  08/06/2017 I Recommend This Product!

"Smells like an expensive perfume" COMMENTS:  To me, this smells like an adult, sophisticated perfume. I prefer it in late summer and fall as an all-over body spray. I also use it in my home in a tart warmer, and will use it in candles when I get around to eventually trying to make those. It smells expensive. PRODUCT USED IN:   Body Sprays & Perfume

"siezed immediately and to perfumy " COMMENTS:  I can barely smell the apricot and it gave me a headache. I was bummed I couldn't swirl at all because it seized so fast. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process

Carla • California Date Submitted:  09/13/2014

"Not for me" COMMENTS:  This FO accelerated on me pretty quickly. In addition, the scent morphed into a very floral scent. I was hoping after a few weeks on the cure rack the scent would soften up, but no such luck. The entire batch is going with the give-a-ways. It gives me a headache every time I walk by. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process

Adrienne • California Date Submitted:  07/22/2014

"Accelerated on me" COMMENTS:  This fragrance oil accelerated on me. Based on reviews, I thought I had time to do a nice swirl, but ended up glopping it in the mold-however, it may be my recipe that is to blame. The oil is quite yellow, but I used that to my advantage when coloring my soap. It smells nice, but I smell more floral than fruit, but it holds up well,after cure.

"Amazing scent and very elegant" COMMENTS:  I REALLY LOVE THIS FO!! I've used it for 5 years now and "TRIED" to discontinue bc I thought I needed to update to a new Fig Scent, but my clients sneer at me. It is not a sweetish scent but very elegant, very well blended to an almost earthy mildly grassy sweet aroma! I'd love it in a candle but I don't make them!! If someone makes this in a candle, I would purchase!!!!!

"Must Have for Fall" COMMENTS:  It's been on my wish list for a while. Bought it during the last flash sale. Apricot and Fig round each other out just right, but it's much deeper than just that. Little bit of a green scent in there too. Made a spray perfume with it. Matches my mood this time of year. Behaved perfectly in RTCP. No A or D. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process

Wendolyn • Maryland Date Submitted:  10/03/2013 I Recommend This Product!

"Absolutely Beautiful!!" COMMENTS:  This fragrance is amazing; better than the original IMO. I literally used every drop; when I got to the very end, I used the last few drops to make a body oil for my personal use. A very sophisticated aroma of peaches, apricots and white flowers with fig notes in the background. It is classy, upscale and unique--not something you smell everyday. This one will have people asking what you are wearing and where can they get it. It's nice for women of all ages too. Use this in your blends and your product will be on par with (or better than) department store and boutique products. No discoloration in HP soap, great scent throw in Soy wax and blends nicely with raw shea. The oil itself is powerful and works well at the recommended concentrations.

"Customers love it!" COMMENTS:  This is one of those fragrances that people pick up the candle, sniff it, then you see their face change and they say, "Ooooh, that's really nice!" I've had really great luck with this fragrance -- lots of nectar-y tones. Very warm and soothing. It made a terrific room/linen spray because it doesn't smell too much like perfume, but it has a fresh scent that people love. I will continue to have in large quantities!

"So Good, You'll Wish You Could Eat It!" COMMENTS:  This scent was lovely in the bottle and even more delicious in CP soap. It's fruity, but not overly sweet, and there are some very light floral notes, too. I will definitely buy this again and recommend it highly! PRODUCT USED IN:  Soap Products

Cassandra • Texas Date Submitted:  02/22/2010 I Recommend This Product!

"Yum!" COMMENTS:  I don't think I've ever smelled the original, so I don't know if this is a good dupe or not, so this is based only on THIS FO, which is just amazing. When I CP it, I add a touch of paprika which gives it the perfect apricot color. It also makes a great scrub! PRODUCT USED IN:  Soap Products

Christine • Virginia Date Submitted:  07/17/2009 I Recommend This Product!

"Smells good, but not exact" COMMENTS:  I'm a HUGE fan of the perfume and while this fragrance smells good, it's not exact. It's missing the slight tropical musk note. This is more fruity. Anyhow, I'm rating it 4 because it's not exact, but would rate it 5 if it was based on scent alone and strength. PRODUCT USED IN:  Candle Products

Kandace • Ohio Date Submitted:  12/31/2008 I Recommend This Product!

"Sweet, balanced scent" COMMENTS:  I wasn't sure at first, smelling this in the bottle -- but don't worry, the scent "mellows" dramatically once it's in soap. No discoloration in CP goatmilk soap; it *might* accelerate trace slightly but it is very manageable. Within 24 hours the scent becomes a nice balance between sweet and tangy. I like it!
