How much Salted Bourbon Buttercream fragrance oil do I need for a candle?

We don’t recommend it. The IFRA maximum for reed diffusers is only 4.22%, which is too low for a good scent throw.

No. Its flash point is 78°C, so it isn’t classified as flammable. Like any fragrance oil, keep it away from naked flames.

Will Salted Bourbon Buttercream discolour my wax?

It may. Salted Bourbon Buttercream contains ethyl vanillin, which can turn wax, soap and other bases cream to brown over time. Test before bulk pouring – see our vanillin guide.

Can I use them in electric diffusers or oil burners?

Most can. Where suitable:

  • Electric diffusers – add a few drops to the water, adjusting to taste.
  • Oil burners – mix 50/50 with dipropylene glycol (DPG), or add a few drops to water in the well.

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.
