The scent

Lime Basil & Mandarin Fragrance Oil opens with a vibrant burst of juicy mandarin, fresh lemon, and zesty lime, delivering an immediate hit of brightness and clean citrus energy. As the fragrance unfolds, aromatic basil blends with thyme, lemongrass, and a cool touch of spearmint, creating a crisp, herbaceous heart that feels modern and effortlessly refined. The base settles into labdanum and vetiver, adding subtle warmth and grounding the freshness with quiet sophistication. Clean, uplifting, and stylish, this citrus-aromatic fragrance is especially well suited to spring and summer collections, offering a polished, perfume-inspired freshness for bright, contemporary spaces.

  • H315 Causes skin irritation.
  • H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.
  • H319 Causes serious eye irritation.

Candles, wax melts and diffusers you make with it may need their own CLP label. Full details are in the Safety Data Sheet.

Is Lime Basil & Mandarin 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 Lime Basil & Mandarin discolour my wax?

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

Lime Basil & Mandarin is inspired by a well-known designer fragrance. Find out which one in our designer dupe chart.

Is there a CLP label for Lime Basil & Mandarin?

Yes. Our free CLP label creator makes a ready-to-print label for candles and wax melts made with Lime Basil & Mandarin, 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 Lime Basil & Mandarin 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.
