Fresh citrus and floral tones over a smooth, musky tea base.
Black Tea Fragrance Oil captures the calm sophistication of a freshly steeped pot of tea at dawn. Bright notes of orange add a clean, uplifting start, while gentle layers of jasmine, lavender, and soft rose bring floral refinement. Beneath it all, smooth musk and subtle woody undertones create a grounding warmth that lingers beautifully. This elegant, comforting scent evokes quiet mornings, cosy reading corners, and peaceful afternoons — perfect for year-round home fragrance creations that feel serene and timeless.

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.
