Spicy-woody with ginger, nutmeg, citrus, aromatic herbs, dark woods, and amber.
Ginger & Nutmeg Fragrance Oil opens with a vibrant burst of freshly sliced ginger, warm nutmeg, and aromatic cardamom, lifted by the bright sparkle of Sicilian lemon for an invigorating yet refined introduction. As the fragrance unfolds, subtle notes of juniper berry and soft lavender weave through the heart, adding aromatic depth and gentle warmth. The base settles into dark woods and smooth amber, creating a comforting, elegant finish that lingers beautifully. Timeless and composed, this spicy-woody scent is especially well suited to autumn and winter collections, offering warmth, sophistication, and quiet confidence.

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.
