NO. 233 - Petrichor Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 233 - Petrichor - Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 233 is a convincing Woody Aromatic fragrance for men and women. Petrichor is the name given to the unmistakable scent that rises from the earth after rain, especially those first summer rains after a long, dry spell. If you adore how it smells after it rains, then undoubtedly, this is for you.
Beautifully rainy, moist and aquatic, but recreated in an ancient woodland landscape with wet wood, spongy green moss, musty leaf litter and damp earth for striking aromatic freshness.
It perfectly captures the fresh, rain filled air, soaked timber, the damp woodland floor and the freshly awakened earth taking a deep breath after a warm, dry spell.
Cool, earthy, restorative. Breath deep of its authentic and addictive natural atmosphere.

Scent Profile

A burst of airy Aldehydes uplifts you into a cool, camphorous air and the green leaves of the tree canopy, as huge raindrops start to splosh down through the leaves from dark rain clouds.
The air changes, cools and carries breathtaking freshness through the trees. 

The moist wooden heartspace reveals the true nature and evocative beauty of petrichor in the ancient woodland landscape. Cool summer rain trickles through the wet, green leaves, down the rugged Cedar trunks and into the musky, moss covered roots twisting through the dry, thirsty earth of Patchouli and Vetiver. 

Moisture is absorbed and penetrates into the surface of the dusty earth releasing the unmistakable deep, earthy aroma of petrichor. The woodlands awakens with refreshing vitality and becomes wonderfully alive, grounding and peaceful. 

Choose NO. 233 for its rainy woodland freshness, earthy longevity and deeply restorative nature. Perfect for those who like evocative atmospheric scents.

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.
