Fragrance Oils from England

How the English perfumery tradition differs in character

This section covers English made fragrance oils for cosmetic and home formulations. The English tradition is known for complex multi component compositions with a distinct character. Working with complex English compositions requires careful attention to dosage, since a small deviation can noticeably change the final character of a finished formula.

The section is part of the broader Fragrance Oils category, which also covers French Fragrance Oils and water soluble fragrances.

Varieties and applications

The range covers Sunset in Tahiti, Ylang Ylang and Assai Berries and Lavender Love, allowing compositions of different character to be built for creams, lotions and candles.

Fragrance oils in this section pair with perfume style fragrance oils and hypoallergenic fragrances when developing formulations for sensitive skin.

Storage

Testing a new fragrance oil before a larger order

When switching to a new fragrance oil, it helps to first test it in a lab sample of the finished formula: a scent applied to skin or in hot wax can read differently than straight from the bottle, due to interaction with base formula components.

Longevity is also worth checking over time, evaluating the scent after a few hours and after a day, since top notes evaporate faster than base notes and the overall character can shift noticeably. For candles it also helps to test how the fragrance oil behaves as wax melts, since some complex compositions change intensity when heated.

When switching batches of the same fragrance oil, it helps to allow for a small margin in intensity, as natural components can vary slightly in concentration between deliveries.

Fragrance oil dosage in a finished formula is usually stated as a percentage of total mass, and exceeding the recommended level does not strengthen scent proportionally, more often it causes skin irritation or clouding in clear gel formulas.

When ordering a trial sample, it helps to confirm the recommended dosage for the specific base type, water, oil or wax, since the optimal inclusion percentage differs noticeably between these formula groups.
