NO. 186 - Cashmere & Suede - Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 186 - Cashmere & Suede is a Woody Amber fragrance for women and men inspired by the sumptuous textures of autumn.

This wonderfully skin-close and tactile aroma echoes your favorite cashmere wrap resting against your skin or the luxurious feel of a pair of beautifully worn suede trousers with its soft, matte nap. The scent itself is reminiscent of the faint trace of perfume left on a beloved coat.

Supple, velvety, polished. Quietly intimate for understated seasonal elegance.

Scent Profile

Cool evening air calls for a soft Cashmere wrap draped around the shoulders. Traces of creamy Almonds are dripped in golden Honey and refreshed with the green notes of Pear. The faint scent of Lily of the Valley and delicate Rose petals lingers against warm skin. Yet, beneath the softness lies luxurious Suede texture, golden Amber warmth and a silky balsamic undertone. Shadowy visions of pale Birchwood and the quiet earthiness of Patchouli bring the textures and colours of autumn indoors.

Choose NO. 121 when you want a fragrance with quiet and intimate sensuality and velvety warmth and comfort. Perfect for those seeking luxuriously tactile and sophisticated scents without ostentation.

Understanding The IFRA Guidelines for Maximum Dilution

Maximum dilution for this fragrance oil depends on the products you are planning on making. It should be noted that maximum dilutions are from a safety aspect only, based on the chemical composition of the oil.

In some cases these are very high, because all components are relatively benign. These amounts are not necessarily recommendations of how much to use in your recipe. They may smell too strong or make the item prohibitively expensive to produce.

As long as you remain below the advised limits, you can be as generous or as frugal as you like. Use more, use less. We’ll leave the creative stuff to you.

Based on the ingredients used, as per the International Fragrance Regulation Authority, the maximum dilutions given above apply.
