Roaring Lion Fragrance Oil
Spicy gourmand with ginger, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, citrus, rose, tobacco, tonka, vanilla, and musk.
The scent
Ginger, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, aniseed, and citrus open with an immediate spiced richness that fills a room from the first burn — bold, complex, and impossible to ignore. Rose softens the heart just enough to stop it feeling heavy, before woods, tonka, vanilla, tobacco, and musk build a deep, sweet, smoky base that gives this fragrance exceptional throw in wax and outstanding presence in reed diffusers. Rich and indulgent, this is a fragrance that earns its place at the heart of autumn and winter collections — Christmas gift sets, bonfire night ranges, and any premium line where a statement tobacco-spice scent with real depth and sweetness is needed.
Branding ideas for your range
Making candles or melts to sell? Here’s how this scent could look on your shelf.
Deep amber or honey-toned vessels with dark brass lids and bold typographic labelling — packaging that feels as indulgent as the fragrance itself, equally at home in a Christmas collection or a premium year-round tobacco range.

Are your fragrance oils vegan?

Can I use Roaring Lion 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.
