The scent

Rhubarb & Rose Fragrance Oil opens with crisp, mouthwatering rhubarb, bright and tangy, softened by delicate tea rose, elderflower, and a subtle hint of pineapple for a fresh, juicy lift. The heart blooms with airy florals that feel light and elegant, while the base settles into soft musk, velvety woods, and gentle dried fruit sweetness, creating a smooth and comforting finish. Playful yet refined, this fruity-floral fragrance is perfectly suited to spring and summer collections, Mother’s Day ranges, and uplifting everyday blends that bring a clean, modern freshness to any space.

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.

Is Rhubarb & Rose fragrance oil hazardous?

  • H315 Causes skin irritation.
  • H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.
  • H319 Causes serious eye irritation.
  • H410 Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

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

Is Rhubarb & Rose fragrance oil flammable?

No. Its flash point is 80°C, so it isn’t classified as flammable. Like any fragrance oil, keep it away from naked flames.

Will Rhubarb & Rose discolour my wax?

It may. Rhubarb & Rose contains vanillin (0.01%), which can turn wax, soap and other bases cream to brown over time. Test before bulk pouring – see our vanillin guide.

Is Rhubarb & Rose in the Scent Match Guide?

Yes – see Rhubarb & Rose in our Scent Match Guide, which suggests our oils for fragrances you may already enjoy.

Is there a CLP label for Rhubarb & Rose?

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