Coffee Fragrance Oil
Rich and roasted with deep coffee tones, soft vanilla sweetness, and smooth cocoa warmth.
The scent

Dark roasted coffee notes are softened by a hint of smooth cocoa and sweet vanilla, creating a scent that feels indulgent yet familiar. Perfect for autumn and winter collections, cosy home fragrances, or café-inspired candles, this classic blend also makes a wonderful year-round scent for coffee lovers and morning ritual themes.

How much Coffee 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 Coffee (about 9–18ml). There is no IFRA limit for candles. The calculator above works it out for any size.
How much Coffee 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 Coffee in a reed diffuser?
Yes. Use 15–25% Coffee in a reed diffuser base such as Augeo Clean Multi. There is no IFRA limit for reed diffusers. Ready-made reed diffuser CLP labels and an SDS are in the documents above.
Can I use Coffee in soap, lotion or perfume?
- Soap: yes – 3–6% (no IFRA limit)
- Body lotion: yes – 0.5–1.5% (no IFRA limit)
- Face cream: yes – 0.1–0.5% (no IFRA limit)
- Perfume: yes – 5–20% (no IFRA limit)

Soap, lotion and perfume are cosmetics, so each one needs a safety assessment (CPSR) before you sell it.
Is Coffee fragrance oil hazardous?
Undiluted, Coffee is classified under GB CLP with the signal word Warning:
- H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.
Candles, wax melts and diffusers you make with it may need their own CLP label. Full details are in the Safety Data Sheet.
Is Coffee fragrance oil flammable?
No. Its flash point is >100°C, so it isn’t classified as flammable. Like any fragrance oil, keep it away from naked flames.
Will Coffee discolour my wax?
It may. Coffee contains vanillin (2.5%), 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 Coffee?
Yes. Our free CLP label creator makes a ready-to-print label for candles and wax melts made with Coffee, 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 them in electric diffusers or oil burners?
Most can. Where suitable:
- Electric diffusers – add a few drops to the water, adjusting to taste.
- Oil burners – mix 50/50 with dipropylene glycol (DPG), or add a few drops to water in the well.
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.

Looking for a best selling scent? This is the one! Ive never been a fan of coffee until I got my hands on this fragrance oil, smells absolutely PHENOMENAL. It’s my best selling candle, always sought after and keep selling out as a result. Used to get this fragrance oil on an offer with the 100ml but have now had to purchase 1Litre bottles to keep up with all of my orders/requests for candles with this scent. Just buy it, you’ll be far from disappointed!
