NO. 117 - Amber CypressFragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 117 - Amber Cypress - Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 117 - Amber Cypress evokes precious winter sunlight streaming through stately, ancient Cypress trees.  Opening bright and sharp like clean forest air, before settling into a warmer embrace. It is a distinct fragrance of stillness, clarity, and quiet radiance.

Atmospheric, grounding, polished. The breath of the forest wrapped in golden Amber.

Scent Profile 

A cool morning wind sweeps through tall Cypress trees and sherbet Lemon sunlight breaks through the branches, fresh, sharp, and bright. A whisper of almondy, airy sweetness sits alongside coniferous crispness and the cool, refreshing clarity of forest air.

Airy Rose petals drift into the shimmering notes of Green Apple for a soft fruity-floral lift before sinking into a sumptuous layer of rich golden accords. Warm resin rises like smoky incense from the forest floor, wrapped in the reviving spice of Clove. It feels like standing in a beam of amber sun filtering through Cypress boughs.

Cedar hums in low, woody tones as the light sinks into quiet warmth. Pools of golden Amber entice you deeper into the woods where everything grows a little deeper, darker, smoother. This is a delicious blend of earth, warmth, and soft, glowing Amber that lingers like the last fingers of sunlight at dusk.

Choose NO. 117 when you want a warm and inviting take on a forest inspired fragrance. Embrace the bright citrus and Pine introduction, the fruity floral and smoked spice heartspace and finish with an enticing earthy, Amberwoody glow.

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.
