Please note
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–high, airy yet grounded
- Texture: Mineral-smooth with humid woody warmth
- Opening Impression: Fresh wet greenery with clean atmospheric lift
- Structure: Strongly diffusive with a musky amber foundation
- Character: Rain-soaked, elegant, atmospheric and surprisingly perfume-like
Petrichor Fragrance Oil is an atmospheric woody-aquatic composition structured around modern amber diffusion materials and humid mineral accords. Rather than relying on strong ozonic or marine notes, the fragrance recreates the sensation of rain through transparent woody ambers, airy alcohol-based freshness, and soft musky humidity. The earthy impression comes primarily from the interaction between amberwoods, patchouli nuances, and mineral aquatic materials rather than heavy soil notes. Subtle gourmand undertones in the base soften the composition and give it a refined perfume-like finish. The result is a sophisticated “rain atmosphere” accord that feels clean, emotional, and highly contemporary.

Discoloration Potential: Moderate
Petrichor Fragrance Oil contains several oxidation-prone aroma materials, various terpenic alcohols, macrocyclic musks, and trace aldehydic components. While it does not contain heavy balsams, vanillin, cinnamaldehyde, or dark resinoids, the presence of terpene derivatives and aquatic-woody molecules may gradually deepen in tone with exposure to air, heat, or light.
- Slight yellowing or soft ambering may develop over time.
- Generally safe for light beige, earthy, or muted-toned applications.
- Use caution in bright white or crystal-clear bases where long-term clarity is essential.

- 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.
