Polished Bergamot and Lemon brightness create a vibrant citrus opening to this black tie invitation. Invigorating notes of Ozone filter through the fresh greenery of Violet leaves, giving the illusion of crisp white cotton and diamond engraved cufflinks.

Candlelight glints through cut crystal glasses and the air carries the guests aromatic cologne and artisan perfume. Elegance expressed without the need for words.

The base sinks into sultry dark evening sophistication, polished notes of Cedar and golden droplets of Amber meld into skin close Musks and the earthy sensuality of Patchouli. The hand finished jacket may remain on, but the silk tie has finally been loosened as the music lingers into the night.

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.
