Use 5–10% of the candle’s total weight. For a 200g candle that’s 10–20g of Legend (about 10–21ml). There is no IFRA limit for candles. The calculator above works it out for any size.

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

We don’t recommend it. The IFRA maximum for reed diffusers is only 8.05%, which is too low for a good scent throw.

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

No. Its flash point is >100°C, so it isn’t classified as flammable. Like any fragrance oil, keep it away from naked flames.

It’s unlikely. Legend contains no vanillin or ethyl vanillin, the most common cause of discolouration. Always test with your own wax and dyes.

• 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.

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.
