Norseman Fragrance Oil
Fresh aromatic with citrus, pink pepper, rose, peppermint, sandalwood, and vetiver.
The scent
Norseman Fragrance Oil opens with a bold rush of bright bergamot and fresh lemon, sparked by a touch of pink peppercorn that delivers an immediate sense of energy and strength. As the fragrance unfolds, a distinctive heart of cooling peppermint and refined rose adds contrast and clarity, balancing freshness with aromatic depth. The base settles into a powerful blend of smooth sandalwood and earthy vetiver, creating a confident, long-lasting finish. Fearless and invigorating, this aromatic fragrance is especially well suited to spring and summer collections, capturing adventurous masculinity with a clean, commanding edge.

Is Norseman fragrance oil hazardous?
Undiluted, Norseman is classified under GB CLP with the signal word Warning:
- H315 Causes skin irritation.
- H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.
- H411 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 Norseman fragrance oil flammable?
No. Its flash point is 86°C, so it isn’t classified as flammable. Like any fragrance oil, keep it away from naked flames.
Will Norseman discolour my wax?
It’s unlikely. Norseman contains no vanillin or ethyl vanillin, the most common cause of discolouration. Always test with your own wax and dyes.
Which designer fragrance is Norseman inspired by?
Norseman is inspired by a well-known designer fragrance. Find out which one in our designer dupe chart.
Is there a CLP label for Norseman?
Yes. Our free CLP label creator makes a ready-to-print label for candles and wax melts made with Norseman, and for reed diffusers. 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 Norseman 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.
