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.
This material is supplied as a raw ingredient. Full compositional and allergen information is provided in the SDS and Allergen Declaration documents found in the “Related Documents” tab. Compliance of the final product remains the responsibility of the manufacturer.

Behavioral Profile
- Diffusion: Medium-heavy, rich and enveloping
- Texture: Thick, creamy, syrupy with a soft balsamic finish
- Opening Impression: Sweet boozy-fruity accord with immediate warmth
- Structure: Strongly solvent-supported gourmand body
- Character: Comforting, decadent, smooth and highly commercial
Bourbon Caramel Fragrance Oil is a gourmand-heavy composition constructed around a dense balsamic core with strong caramelic and vanillic tonality. Benzyl benzoate and coumarinic materials provide warmth and persistence, while sweet lactonic and caramelized facets create the signature whisky-fudge effect. Fruity top notes brighten the opening briefly before the fragrance settles into a creamy, resinous drydown with soft musky diffusion. The result is a rich, comforting gourmand with a polished dessert-like character and excellent depth.
Technical Data (IFRA & CLP)
CLP Label Generation
At 17.8% fragrance usage, certain CLP label elements may become required for this mixture. Below 17.8%, the product is generally not classified under CLP, although supplemental EUH208 allergen labelling may still apply from 1.8%. Use our interactive CLP Label Generator to calculate indicative labelling requirements based on your intended usage level and application type.
IFRA Maximum Usage Levels
- Candles: 100%
- Diffusers: 21.00%
- Perfumes: 41.60%
- Soaps: 13.50%
For full category-specific limits, refer to the Bourbon Caramel Fragrance Oil IFRA certificate available in the “Related Documents” tab.
Discoloration Potential: Moderate
Though Bourbon Caramel Fragrance Oil has a stable carrier base, the formula includes vanillin-type aldehydes, coumarins, and terpenes, all of which raise the risk of gradual yellowing and browning.
- Visible yellowing and possible browning can occur over time, especially with exposure to air, heat, or light.
- This fragrance is best used in richly colored candles, waxes, or packaging where discoloration is less of a concern.
- Opaque containers and cool storage (not below 20°C) will help delay visible darkening.
Application Compatibility
This fragrance is oil-soluble and designed for use in oil-based and alcohol-based formulations. It does not mix directly with water-based systems without the use of an appropriate solubilizer.
Storage
Store in a cool, dark, and airtight environment to preserve stability and minimize oxidation over time.
Usage & Performance
Fragrance performance varies depending on the base, formulation, and production conditions. Cold throw, hot throw, diffusion strength, and longevity are influenced by the materials used and the manufacturing process.
A typical development process involves:
- Initial scent evaluation (10g sample)
- Small batch testing (e.g. 50g scale)
- Full-scale production once performance is validated
Testing under your specific conditions is standard practice in product development. Evaluation at each stage is required prior to scaling.
Recommended usage guidelines
- Candles: 7%-12%
- Reed diffusers: 15%-25%
- Personal perfumes: 10%-15%
- Soaps: 1%-3%
These ranges reflect typical formulation practices and are provided for general guidance only. They do not represent maximum permitted levels.

Soft, velvety buttered caramel that melts in your mouth! I have tried several caramel scents in the past or blends that were said to contain caramel aromas and I have to say that this one is by far the closest to the real deal.

It’s a great fragrance, but it turned out to be difficult for me. I would like a little less bitterness, which is a lot against the background of caramel and whiskey
