The Ultimate Guide to Fragrance Oils

Fragrance oils are the magical ingredients that can be used to produce a whole range of different products and they come in a wide selection of scents. Whether you're adding a calming scent to your home with a reed diffuser, creating custom candles, or making your own perfumes and aftershaves, fragrance oils are the key ingredient to achieving this. 

At Fizzywhiz, we are passionate about offering a wide variety of high-quality fragrance oils to suit every need and preference. If you're new to fragrance oils or looking to deepen your knowledge, our ultimate guide to fragrance oils will walk you through everything you need to know.

What are fragrance oils?

Fragrance oils are synthetic scents, typically manufactured in a lab to mimic natural aromas that create a lasting scent. They are not derived from natural plant sources like essential oils. Instead, they are created using a blend of synthetic aroma chemicals, carrier oils, and other additives to produce a consistent scent profile. This makes fragrance oils ideal for use in various products like perfumes, candles, soaps and even laundry detergents. 

At Fizzywhiz, our award-winning fragrance oils are designed to be safe, long-lasting, and versatile, so you can enjoy the perfect scent for any occasion. All our fragrance oils are 100% pure and highly concentrated for long-lasting scents. They’re both vegan and cruelty-free, so they're perfect for using in all your crafts. 

Fragrance oils uses

Fragrance oils are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of ways, making them a staple for many homemade crafts and professional products. Some of the most popular uses for fragrance oils include:

1. Home fragrance: Create your own candles, diffusers, or room sprays to add irresistible scents to any room in your home. Fragrance oils can fill your space with delightful aromas that help you unwind, energise, or simply enjoy a cosy atmosphere.

2. Body care products: Add fragrance to body lotions, bath bombs, body scrubs, soaps, and body oils to create incredible-smelling products for relaxing self-care. Fragrance oils can transform your bath-time routine into a luxurious experience, transporting you to new places based on the scent you choose.  

3. Perfumes and aftershaves: Custom-make your own signature scents. Fragrance oils allow you to craft unique blends of perfumes or aftershaves that match your personal style, from light floral to bold, woody notes.

4. Cleaning products: Create your own cleaning and laundry products that leave your home and clothes squeaky clean and smelling exactly how you like. Our Spanish scents fragrance oils and Odouraze fragrance oils are particular favourites for making cleaning products!

Tips for using fragrance oils

To get the most out of your fragrance oils, here are some tips for optimal use:

1. Use in moderation: Fragrance oils are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way! Start with a small amount and gradually increase until you reach your desired scent intensity.

2. Proper dilution: When using fragrance oils in body care products like lotions or soaps, be sure to dilute them properly to avoid skin irritation. Follow our assessment recipes to ensure you use the right amount to make the perfect product you can legally sell in the UK and EU. 

3. Store safely: Keep your fragrance oils away from direct sunlight and heat. Store them in a cool, dry place to preserve their potency and prevent any degradation.

4. Experiment and blend: Don’t be afraid to mix different fragrance oils to create a unique blend. We even offer a blend service, which allows you to create your own unique scent blends and get the necessary legal documentation hassle-free.
