NO. 116 - Mahogany WoodsFragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 116 - Mahogany Woods - Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 116 - Mahogany Woods blends fresh, zesty citrus with airy white florals, and warm, polished planks of aromatic Cedar. Giving you a clean, modern scent that feels like precious wintery sunlight filtering through forest timber.

Bright, elegant, quietly confident. A peaceful aroma that lingers long after it settles.

Scent Profile 

Like a clear forest dawn, morning breaks cold, luminous and atmospheric with cool and airy Camphor. Soft Lemon sunlight cracks open the sky with a diffusive glow. A thin Bergamot mist rolls in and clings to the trees like glittering diamond droplets.  A breath of Spearmint whispers through the woodlands, cool, clean, awakening everything in its path. 

Icy white flower petals drift like pale birds through beams of warm, glowing sunlight, against the grain of freshly hewn wood. The forest feels alive, softly floral and held in a quiet moment of stillness.

As daylight fades, the woods grow warmer, darker, richer. Aromatic notes of Cedar hum in low, earthy tones, softened by a creamy veil of cozy, warm Vanilla. The final strident notes of Mahogany give a luxurious scent of depth, comfort, and gentle refinement.

Choose NO. 116 when you want a more contemporary and abstract take on a forest inspired fragrance. Embrace the glowing citrus introduction, the white floral heartspace and finish with a sweet, comforting Vanillic woody 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.
