Incense and Citron Fragrance Oil
Incense and Citron Fragrance Oil is a masterfully crafted oriental blend with a perfect equilibrium of immersive resins and playful citrus notes. A green/spicy accord of black pepper, crisp lemon and aromatic bergamot makes a bold introduction that lingers throughout the composition. The heart of the scent is comprised of a mystical, almost ritualistic all-resin chorus of elemi, frankincense and benzoin, which pairs beautifully with the dry and smoky resinous base of amber and labdanum.
- Top notes: Lemon, bergamot, black pepper
- Heart notes: Frankincense, elemi, benzoin
- Base notes: Amber, labdanum
Scent Profile: Citrucy/Spicy/Resinous

Behavioral Profile
- Diffusion: Medium–high, radiant with controlled depth
- Texture: Resinous yet lifted, with a dry ambery core
- Opening Impression: Bright, citrus-led with a sharp spicy edge
- Structure: Dual-phase, top-driven brightness over a dense resinous base
- Character: Contrasting, vibrant, and evolving with a luminous-to-dark transition
Incense and Citron Fragrance Oil is a dual-phase oriental composition built around a contrast between bright citrus elements and a dense resinous core. The opening is driven by volatile terpenic materials that create a sharp and energetic lift, while the heart transitions into a structured blend of balsamic and smoky resins. A diffusive woody backbone ensures balance and projection, allowing the composition to evolve smoothly without losing clarity. The result is a vibrant yet grounded fragrance with a dynamic interplay between freshness and depth.

Discoloration potential: None
Although there are a few oxidation-prone ingredients (azulenes, Olibanum), the overall formula is heavily protected by stable carriers, meaning that only slight yellowing may occur over long periods or poor storage.
- Color is expected to stay relatively stable for a long time.
- Minor yellowing may develop after many months or under extreme storage conditions.
- Very safe for candles, diffuser oils, and even transparent soap bases where low discoloration is important.
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.

I recently purchased the Frankincense and Citron scented oil, and I am absolutely delighted! The combination of warm, earthy frankincense with the fresh, uplifting notes of citron creates a beautifully balanced aroma that fills the room without being overpowering.
The oil is rich, long-lasting, and works perfectly both in my diffuser and as a touch of fragrance on linens. You can feel the quality with every drop.
If you’re looking for a calming yet refreshing scent, this is a perfect choice. Highly recommended – I’ll definitely be ordering again!
