An advantage of being a fragrance supplier from the southeastern Europe is that you get to experience all the lovely organic scents of the country since day 1. Even if you were born in the most urban jungle of enviroments, you would sure have come accross a couple of fig trees, lots of honeysuckle bushes and for the scent in question, you are surely familiar with the authentic smell of a grape vine fragrance. Grape is an elusive scent and many suppliers opt for that extra sugary version of it, bringing to mind more of grape juice than the organic smell of the fruit. We are guessing they are thinking of "the sweeter the better" in terms of commercial appeal. And while this approach is anything but correct, we chose to go for an alternative route and opt for a more rustic, green and grounded grape vine fragrance version of the fruit. Thus, no juice, no chewy gummy smell here. With Grape Vine Fragrance Oil you will get the pure and authentic grapes scent just like picking them right off a vine yard. And sorry for the misleading subtitle, though it's damn right "better than them".

Most raspberry fragrances we've tried over the years smelled so sugary sweet and artificial that at one point we just gave up the search. Until this arrived at the office and the heavens opened with little baby angels singing "Share this amazing raspberry ice cream scent wonder with the world!". Their exact words! We were standing in awe by this raw and super effective top of raspberry and cranberry but we just couldn't quite grasp the heart accord. What made this fragrance so sweet and icy fresh at the same time? So, the little baby angels again pointed with their little baby fingers to its olfactory pyramid and lo and behold: Juniper! You cannot smell it but it's there. And it gives that amazing frosty feel to an otherwise typical fruit/vanilla combo, compressing its sugary output to a minimum without sacrificing the... berry-ness in it. Thank cranberries for the tanginess at the top and grapes in the middle notes for that extra juice, and there you have it: A raspberry ice cream scent delight that we are confident that your customers will love!

There's always some magic going on when combining rose and caramel in a cheesecake scent. Those 2 very simple but distinct notes, which lie in the center of our Cranberry Cheesecake Fragrance Oil, when fused together produce something totally unique. You cannot really describe the outcome as pastry-sweet neither rosy-floral; more of a silky smooth creamy balsam like gentle motherly touch. Loaded with red berries on top and of course vanilla at the base and the end result is an incredibly balanced fragrance which has that bakery feeling alright, but at the same time an ultra sophisticated character that makes you wonder if it was initially intended for a commercial perfume. No wonder it broke the record as our fastest selling product launch! Have you tried our delicious cranberry cheesecake scent? Tell us your thoughts in the reviews section.

A tropical marine fragrance oil without coconut? Outrageous! Sorry, but this is no sterotypical marine scent trying to lure you with in with sun-screen notions - though we have one such thing for the sake of cliché olfactory preferences. Instead, you will be pleasantly surprised with its extra juicy heart of mango, apricot and passion fruit - a tropical accord made in heaven! And that is if you can firstly ignore the heavy gardenia based uppercut your nose will suffer, because after all, it's the tropics and those heady flowers reign supreme. Plus, you will get a decent amount of swoosh, but not that deteregent artificial swoosh, more of a perfumy "expensive" swoosh, like a gentle splash of water on your Versace bikini top after your boo took a dive on Phuket's crystal sea. What do you think of our Acqua Marine Fragrance Oil? Love it? Hate it? Post a review of your experience with this oil. Looking for more inspo for oceanic scents? Read this.

Don't rush to disregard this lovely Lime and Peppermint scent because it's not chewing-gummy minty neither sharp lime-y(?). Well, it is, but thanks to vanilla which came in at the very last moment we have a pleasantly balanced mix of tanginess and mintiness which will work wonders on cosmetic applications mostly. To be honest, we can't think of anyone using Lime and Peppermint scent combo in a candle, unsless they have an endless collection of scents and they are thinking of "why the hell not"? There's something quite contradictory burning a thing for only to smell fresher than a toothpaste... On the flipside, you can use it in a diffuser collection alright for customers looking for a bright and crisp bathroom fragrance. And they are lots of them.

This Ocean Mist scent is featured in our Scent Triads series where we have discussed about our Ocean themed scents and their differences. And while Ocean Breeze has a distinct citrus/floral brightness, and Ocean Wave a more complex aromatic/woody character, Ocean Mist Fragrance Oil is sitting in the middle with a cool citrucy/coniferous/green feel that will take you on an adventure to the high seas on a 18th century privateer! No special ornamental florals in this ocean mist scent, as we don't need them in our voyage. Instead we have sea tortured pinewood on the deck and constant whiplashes of salty droplets on your face that make you question your life's decisions as you ride the furious waves of the northen Atlantic. But there you are for at least 3 weeks, and you might as well enjoy it. Ahoy Captain!

Don't let the minimal imagery fool you. This is a complex beast. Birchwood plays an iportant role in this fragrance and along with the mossy base we have an almost base-note dominat scent. The particular white birch scent is also known as "Russian Leather" and it is derived from the bark of the tree giving off a very intriguing aroma which lingers between resinous woodiness and leathery muskiness. One whiff and it's leather, another whiff and it's wood! Depends on the mood I guess... Apart from the white birch scent we have a host of interesting spices, okoume, saffron and oakmoss of course, which all contribute in their own special way to the overall breezy/foresty character of the fragrance. Yes, it is a masculine fragrance no doubt. And a damn good one!

Welcome to our "Smells like..." series where we talk a little bit outside of the box about our scents. Stay tuned because it's gonna be one loooong ride. 🎢 Starting off with what it looks like a dupe of an English brand best seller. Yeah, but no, but lets say that Sea Salt and Sage is ahem... "inspired" a lot by it particularly in the top and middle notes where you can whiff off a superbly crafted chypre of lime flower and bergamot. The heart is not that sagy-sage green, but retains that fougere greeness to marginaly pass as "herbaceous" minus the mintyness (did that make sense?). A typical chypre must have labdanum but here's the twist. The base is ambery (labdanum/styrax/vanilla) and mossy bringing two major perfuming accords (chypre and amber) into unison. This provides the amazing breezy swoosh to the composition (with the help of seaweed notes in the middle) while at the same time retaining the ohlala smoothness of amber.
