The scent

Modern Cedar Fragrance Oil opens with a vibrant blend of citrusy bergamot and crisp green fruits, lifted by aromatic basil and a touch of clean ozonic freshness. The heart reveals soft white lily and jasmine, resting on smooth cedarwood and golden amberwoods for a refined, balanced warmth. As it settles, sensual musk and sweet vanilla emerge, creating a polished, enduring base. A fresh, modern woody-aromatic fragrance that feels confident, refined, and quietly powerful — perfect for everyday candles, elegant wax melts, and masculine room spray collections that embody strength and sophistication.

Questions

Common questions

What does Modern Cedar fragrance oil smell like?

Woody-aromatic with citrus, amber, and vanilla undertones. Top notes: bergamot, green fruits, basil, ozone. Heart: lily, jasmine, cedarwood, amberwoods. Base: musk, vanilla. It’s inspired by a well-known designer fragrance – see which one in our designer dupe chart.

How much Modern Cedar fragrance oil do I need for a candle?

Use 5–10% of the candle’s total weight. For a 200g candle that’s 10–20g of Modern Cedar (about 10–20ml). There is no IFRA limit for candles. The calculator above works it out for any size.

How much Modern Cedar should I use in wax melts?

Use 5–10% – that’s 5–10g of fragrance oil for every 100g of finished melts. Check the maximum your wax can hold.

Can I use Modern Cedar in a reed diffuser?

We don’t recommend it. The IFRA maximum for reed diffusers is only 1.67%, which is too low for a good scent throw.

Can I use Modern Cedar in soap, lotion or perfume?

  • Soap: yes – 3–6% (IFRA maximum 7.32%)
  • Body lotion: yes – 0.5–1.5% (IFRA maximum 3.92%)
  • Face cream: yes – 0.1–0.5% (IFRA maximum 3.5%)
  • Perfume: yes – 5–20% (IFRA maximum 25%)
  • Lip balm: not suitable

Soap, lotion and perfume are cosmetics, so each one needs a safety assessment (CPSR) before you sell it.

Is Modern Cedar fragrance oil hazardous?

Undiluted, Modern Cedar is classified under GB CLP with the signal word Warning:

  • H315 Causes skin irritation.
  • H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.
  • H410 Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

Candles, wax melts and diffusers you make with it may need their own CLP label. Full details are in the Safety Data Sheet.

Is Modern Cedar fragrance oil flammable?

No. Its flash point is 97°C, so it isn’t classified as flammable. Like any fragrance oil, keep it away from naked flames.

Will Modern Cedar discolour my wax?

It may. Modern Cedar contains vanillin (0.56%), which can turn wax, soap and other bases cream to brown over time. Test before bulk pouring – see our vanillin guide.

Which designer fragrance is Modern Cedar inspired by?

Modern Cedar is inspired by a well-known designer fragrance. Find out which one in our designer dupe chart.

Is there a CLP label for Modern Cedar?

Yes. Our free CLP label creator makes a ready-to-print label for candles and wax melts made with Modern Cedar. Safety Data Sheets, IFRA certificates and label files are in the documents above.

Are your fragrance oils vegan?

Yes. All are 100% vegan with no animal-derived ingredients.

Can I use Modern Cedar in an electric diffuser or oil burner?

Yes.

  • Electric water diffusers (ultrasonic or humidifier style) – fill the tank with water to the line, then add 3–5 drops per 100ml of water. Start low and add more to taste.
  • Oil burners – mix 50/50 with dipropylene glycol (DPG), or add a few drops to water in the well.

Important – look after your diffuser:

  • Fragrance oils are concentrated, and some plastics used in diffuser tanks can soften, cloud or crack if oil is left sitting in them. This depends on the plastic the diffuser is made from. It happens with any concentrated fragrance or essential oil, not just ours.
  • Empty the tank when you’ve finished. Don’t leave water and oil sitting in it between uses.
  • Rinse and wipe the tank every few uses, as fragrance oils can leave a film.
  • Check your diffuser’s instructions to make sure it is suitable for fragrance oils. If it says essential oils only, or doesn’t say, ask the maker before using it.

How do I use the 100ml bottles?

They include a blind plug to prevent leaks in transit. Either pierce the centre with a pin or biro to use it as a dropper, or remove the stopper, pour, and replace the plug.
