The scent

Sheer Essence Fragrance Oil opens with a graceful blend of cassis, bergamot, mandarin, and fresh green notes, creating a luminous and modern first impression. The heart unfolds into a romantic bouquet of may rose, freesia, jasmine, lily, and soft heliotrope, blooming with refined feminine elegance. As it settles, patchouli, creamy sandalwood, and cedarwood anchor the fragrance, melting into warm amber, smooth vanilla, and a gentle touch of sweetness. A sophisticated floral-oriental fragrance that whispers strength, sensuality, and quiet confidence.

How much Sheer Essence should I use in wax melts?

Use 5–10% – that’s 5–10g of fragrance oil for every 100g of finished melts. Check the maximum your wax can hold.

Can I use Sheer Essence in a reed diffuser?

  • Body lotion: yes – 0.5–1.5% (IFRA maximum 7.03%)

  • Perfume: yes – 5–20% (IFRA maximum 27.03%)

Is Sheer Essence fragrance oil hazardous?

Undiluted, Sheer Essence is classified under GB CLP with the signal word Warning:

  • H315 Causes skin irritation.
  • H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.
  • H319 Causes serious eye irritation.
  • H411 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 Sheer Essence 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 Sheer Essence discolour my wax?

It may. Sheer Essence contains vanillin (2.2%), which can turn wax, soap and other bases cream to brown over time. Test before bulk pouring – see our vanillin guide.

Which designer fragrance is Sheer Essence inspired by?

Sheer Essence is inspired by a well-known designer fragrance. Find out which one in our designer dupe chart.

Is there a CLP label for Sheer Essence?

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