Hair and Beauty Secrets - Blending with NO. 141- Pink Lilac Bouquet

Blending NO. 141 - Pink Lilac Bouquet Soaps & Candles fragrance oil into your hair and beauty products couldn’t be simpler. Let’s look at some simple projects you can rustle up in a heartbeat. These are inspired by the spring season and are perfect for beginners.

We’re also including a couple more challenging projects for those more adventurous among you. Just one bottle of Lilac oil and you can create a fragrant paradise to indulge yourselves.

First, let’s Get To Know No. 141

No. 141 is inspired by the timeless romance of spring gardens bursting into bloom. Capturing the stately elegance of Lilac blossoms, it encapsulates honeyed Rose petals, the sweetness of soft vanilla, and then dries down to a modern white wood diffusion. Balancing fresh airy florals with comforting warmth, it evokes nostalgia, soft femininity, and luminous charm.

Choose NO. 141 when you want a delicate floral signature that feels like spring on the skin. Masterfully designed, it suits women who like their fragrances to be modern, effortlessly feminine, and romantic.

NO. 141 - Pink Lilac Bouquet Makes You Feel

With its honeyed floral sweetness, soft warmth of vanilla, airy green lift, and radiant spring character, No.141 makes you feel:

All The Glorious Characteristics Of A True Spring Scent

All The Glorious Characteristics Of A True Spring Scent

Spring-inspired fragrances tend to have:

    • Fresh, uplifting openings that feel airy. This could be made from citrus that feels bright and luminous or green and dewy, giving the impression of the early morning garden.
    • The heartspace is often airy but made from blossoms and petals to feel like a floral bouquet.
    • There are often strongly leafy, green notes to bring to make you think that stems have been crushed or flowers just cut, as well as the idea of new spring leaves on the trees. 
    • Scents will be slightly warm with honeys, vanillas, floral balsams, or sheer musks. Warm, but not sugary, as if the light you are experiencing is dappled, just warm enough to dust the petals.
    • You might also have the sense that you can smell the colours of the spring pastel flowers. Sunshine-y yellow flowers feel light and hopeful. Pink blossoms feel soft, feminine, and greens feel fresh and vital. 
    • Spring fragrances are adaptable and versatile. They feel sophisticated and elegant but are also easy to wear, especially in the daytime.

IFRA Safety Blending with NO. 141

NO. 141- Pink Lilac Bouquet is a great fragrance oil for beginners to work with, because the maximum amount you can use, according to the  IFRA skin safety data,  is quite generous.

This is ideal if you want to work with one fragrance oil (without blending it with anything else.  You will get pleasing results with relatively little effort.

Let’s take a look at a couple of examples:

The International Fragrance Regulation Authority (IFRA) guidelines break down the oil into different categories according to the kind of product you want to make.

For body creams, you will want Category 5a.

The maximum dilution recommendation for No. 141 Pink Lilac Bouquet in category 5a is 22.50%.

This means that in 100ml of body cream/lotion base, you can use up to 22.5ml of No. 141

Remember, this is a skin safety dilution rate, NOT a recipe recommendation.

22.5% of fragrance oil is a lot.

You won’t need anywhere near that much to make a fragranced body cream.

Start experimenting at around 3%. I reckon the sweet spot is NO. 141 will be about 5%.

Let’s look at another example.

Category 9 - covers soaps, shampoos, body washes, and bath salts.

It has a maximum skin safety dilution rate of 37.27%.

But again, I would recommend starting at 3%.

Your soap mixtures might seize if you add any more than 10%, so don’t go nuts!

But these are great, easy dilution rates to experiment with, making No. 141 perfect for beginners.

It would also be great for a project to do with the kids, although…

Pro tip…children seem to adore NO. 63 - Pink Sugar! 

Super Simple Beauty Projects Blending with NO. 141- Pink Lilac Bouquet

I wanted to give you a range of projects, so even if you are a complete beginner and have never used fragrance oils before, you will feel confident to have a go.

As you build your skills and confidence, make your bottle of NO. 141 work harder for you and try it out on some new projects. As you get braver, try it with other fragrance oils to create different effects.

Simply start where you feel most comfortable!

Important note:

    1. For all the hair and beauty projects in this post, we will be using VINEVIDA’s Soaps & Candles fragrance oils variation. 

    2. The diffuser variations are only to be used in cold air and nebulizing diffusers and are not suitable for these projects.

Cleanser, Toner & Moisturiser

Cleanser, Toner & Moisturiser

Why not create your own spring-inspired skincare products?

Fill your beauty routine with the luscious, romantic blossoms of NO. 141 - Pink Lilac Bouquet.

We can go ultra-simple and simply take unscented bases and add 3% of NO. 141 - Pink Lilac Bouquet fragrance oil to each base.

Simply add 3 ml to every 100 ml of base.

The maximum dilution rate in category 5B is 5.60%, so do not exceed that. (5.6ml in 100ml).

Remember to adjust your label accordingly.

If you fancy making your own products from scratch, why not explore the cleanser, toner, and moisturiser bases in The Ultimate Beauty Box in a Flower and simply substitute NO. 141 - Pink Lilac Bouquet fragrance oil for the essential oils.

The amount of fragrance oil you use will be different from the recommendations of the essential oils, but don’t let that scare you. 

The process is the same. You can use up to 5.6% of the base.

Two great ways of creating bespoke skin care, one super quick and simple, and the other is easy enough even for complete beginners to have a go at. Have fun with it!

Repairing Hair Oil

I have taken up swimming again, and Oh Boy! is my hair taking a bashing. The chlorine is playing havoc with my tresses!

So this has become my go-to hair restorer when my hair needs a little more TLC.

The nourishing and repairing is done by the carrier oils, so buy the best quality you can. It leaves your hair beautifully conditioned, deeply nourished, and beautifully fragranced for many hours after. NO. 141 adds her glorious spring blossom fragrance, so you can trail the scent of unfurling blooms and honeyed deliciousness everywhere you go!

You do not need many ingredients for this, so it is very cost-effective. It is an easy way to create a high-end product for not much money. What else could you want?

This is skin nourishment and protection at its finest. Laced with the dewy blossoms of NO. 141, it becomes a sublime spring-inspired experience to relish. We can use the same equipment and the same method as the hair oil, but we have to change the IFRA! In IFRA Category 5A - NO. 141- Pink Lilac Bouquet has a maximum safety dilution rate of 22.50%.
