Buttercrunch Toffee Fragrance Oil
Buttercrunch Toffee is a rich, buttery scent that captures the irresistible aroma of golden caramelized sugar. It opens with a touch of toasted almond, melted butter, and brown sugar, giving a slightly crisp, nutty sweetness. The heart melts into warm milk and deep caramel, while the base lingers with smooth tonka, creamy vanilla, and a hint of musk. Low in allergens, and CLP-safe, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Formula update 26/03/2025: Updated formula in line with new EU regulatory guidelines – Read about the upcoming changes here. Removed almost entirely the roasted-heavy top notes (coffee), resulting in a smoother caramel scent. We strongly recommend testing a small size or sample to confirm suitability for your products.

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.

Discoloration potential: Heavy
Buttercrunch Toffee Fragrance Oil contains strong discoloration-driving materials such as ethyl vanillin, ethyl maltol, anisaldehyde, coumarin, and piperonal. These sweet, aldehydic, and caramelic components are highly prone to oxidation and polymerization, leading to deep amber or brown coloration over time.
- Discoloration toward deep amber or brown is very likely over time.
- Perfect for gourmand, bakery, or dessert-themed products where darkening enhances realism.
- Not suitable for white, pastel, or transparent bases where color stability is critical.
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%

I don’t think this one is for me; it has a slightly artificial and bitter scent

Not keen on this at all. Strange tainted/burnt toffee smell.

True to the name. Buttery, sweet and delicious!
Melanie Cerncic (verified owner) –
The first thing you smell is coffee. The roast aroma overthrows everything else. It smells tasty thou, if you prefer coffee based scents. But don’t expect a nutty / sweet scent.
