A soft fruity floral — peach, plum, violet, patchouli, suede.
Velvet Plum opens with a soft, luscious blend of ripe peach and plum — fruity and slightly sweet but not sharp or synthetic. A heart of powdery violet adds a gentle, slightly retro quality that lifts this above a straightforward fruit fragrance and gives it a more refined feel. Patchouli and suede settle into the base, keeping things grounded and smooth with a warm, skin-close finish that works particularly well in wax melts and room sprays. It’s a soft, versatile fruity floral that sits well in Valentine’s gifting lines, spring collections, and any range looking for something sweet and feminine without being overtly sugary.

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.
Contains vanillin or ethyl vanillin, which can darken wax, soap and other bases over time – always test before bulk pouring. Vanillin guide
