The notes above come from each product page. They describe the reference perfume or the scent character, not a lab test of our oil, so every oil will behave a little differently in your base. Grapefruit Pepper and Lemon Lily of the Valley come in our Signature grade. The other six come in two grades, Signature and Essential, so compare both if price matters for your product. If you are making scents for warm places, our guide to perfume oils that last in heat and humidity is a good next read.
How to test before you buy
Fresh citrus notes are bright but can fade faster than woods and resins, so test them properly. Each product page says suitability for candles, diffusers or body products has to be confirmed separately. Order the 10 ml sample of two or three oils and try them in the base you actually plan to use. Check the usage limits for your product category, and ask us for the IFRA certificate and SDS for the exact oil and grade. In stock oils have no minimum order, and packs run from 100 ml up to 50 kg.
You can browse more of our range in the Best Sellers collection. We ship worldwide from Dubai. For a custom fresh blend, the minimum is 25 kg per fragrance. Questions? Email ankit@aromalabs.store.
