Winter Rain Fragrance Oil
Woody aromatic with cardamom, sage, narcissus, ozonic notes, palo santo, cedar, and vanilla.
The scent
Cardamom and sage open with an aromatic warmth that feels grounding and considered, before narcissus, tea leaves, and a crisp ozonic accord bring the unmistakable freshness of cold air after rainfall. Palo santo and cedar emerge in the base alongside vanilla, adding an earthy, resinous depth that gives the fragrance real staying power. The balance between the cool ozonic heart and the woody base makes it work across a wide range of settings — fresh enough for spring wellness collections, grounded enough for autumn and winter lines. Particularly well suited to bathroom candles, bedroom diffusers, and gender-neutral gift sets.

Where you can use it
How much to use, and the most IFRA allows.
Recommended amounts are starting points – always test. Incense and hanging car fresheners use the candle limit (Cat 12). Linen, fabric and car air freshener sprays use the room spray limit (Cat 10B). Bath bombs, bath salts, shower gel and body scrubs use the soap limit (Cat 9). Not recommended means the IFRA limit is too low for a good scent, not that it is banned. No fragrance oil is approved for lip products.

How much Winter Rain should I use in wax melts?

Is Winter Rain fragrance oil hazardous?
Undiluted, Winter Rain is classified under GB CLP with the signal word Warning:
- H315 Causes skin irritation.
- H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.
- H319 Causes serious eye irritation.
- 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 Winter Rain fragrance oil flammable?
No. Its flash point is 76°C, so it isn’t classified as flammable. Like any fragrance oil, keep it away from naked flames.
Will Winter Rain discolour my wax?
It may. Winter Rain contains vanillin (1.2%) and ethyl vanillin, which can turn wax, soap and other bases cream to brown over time. Test before bulk pouring – see our vanillin guide.
Is there a CLP label for Winter Rain?
Yes. Our free CLP label creator makes a ready-to-print label for candles and wax melts made with Winter Rain, 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 Winter Rain 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.
