Bitter Almond Fragrance Oil
Bitter Almond Fragrance Oil is an intoxicating fragrance inspired by the famous Italian amaretto, which in smell is nothing but bitter, on the contrary, it is enchantingly sweet, sleek and luxurious. Playful top notes of cherry and apricot make a brief introduction to the primary notes of bitter almond and nutmeg which dominate the heart as well the base of the blend along with a hint of vanilla.

This is not a perfume. It is a highly concentrated fragrance oil designed for crafting end products such as candles, diffusers, perfumes, soaps, and other personal care items. Do not apply directly to the skin. All our fragrance oils are measured in grams, not milliliters. Bottle fill levels may vary due to differences in oil density, which affects volume.
Recommended usage guidelines
- Candles: 7%-12%
- Reed diffusers: 15%-25%
- Personal perfumes: 10%-15%
- Soaps: 1%-3%
These percentages are indicative. For specific usage limits, please refer to the Bitter Almond Fragrance Oil IFRA file included in the “Related Documents” tab.
Important considerations
We strongly recommend conducting your own tests, as performance may vary depending on the materials used and manufacturing conditions. Fragrance oils may not smell the same in their raw form as they do in a finished product. The recommended ratios serve as a general guide and should never replace your own testing. Ensuring compatibility and safe usage of your final product is your sole responsibility.
Prior to incorporating our fragrances in your products always test a small batch to ensure compatibility with the other ingredients in your formulation. We strongly recommend purchasing a test bottle (10g) prior to committing to a larger volume. We cannot take responsibility for large orders made without prior testing.
Scent Perception Disclaimer
While we do our best to accurately describe each fragrance, please note that scent perceptions are subjective and can differ. We cannot be held responsible for any misconceptions regarding the scent description. Always ensure you’re satisfied with the fragrance in a smaller test order before committing to larger volumes.
Order processing times

This smells exactly like the bitter almond liqueur that’s typical of my country. If you don’t know what this is, it’s fine. Just picture almonds soaked in alcohol with just a slight sweetness to it, and you’ll get the gist of it.
