Usage & Recommendations

Sweet Strawberry (Type) performs well in soy, paraffin, coconut, and blended waxes. Start with a 6% load in soy for balanced hot and cold throw. In body care, it's safe for use in lotions, washes, and creams at up to 1.3%. It adds a clean, fruity note that works especially well in summer-themed collections or fun, youthful product lines. As always, follow IFRA guidelines and test in small batches before scaling up.

Do strawberries have a smell? Yes, ripe strawberries have a naturally sweet, fruity aroma with subtle green notes. This fragrance captures the real life profile by combining ripe berry top notes with a fresh green accord and soft sugar base. How can I smell like strawberries? To add a strawberry scent to body care products, blend this oil at 1–1.3% into unscented lotion, body wash, or scrub bases. While it's not a perfume-grade oil, it’s a great way to bring a strawberry fragrance into skin-safe, rinse-off products. Always check IFRA guidelines and test for skin compatibility. Is this the same as Yankee Candle® Sweet Strawberry? This is our take on that popular scent. Iit’s not an exact match, and we are not affiliated with Yankee Candle®. That said, many customers use Sweet Strawberry (Type) to recreate the familiar, bright strawberry scent in their own projects. Will it discolor my wax? No. This fragrance oil contains 0% vanillin, so you won’t see browning or yellowing in your candles, even in lighter waxes. Can I use this in wax melts or gel wax? Yes, Sweet Strawberry (Type) is fully compatible with gel wax and works well in melts, too. It delivers a strong cold throw and a clean, fruity scent that holds up through curing.

Q&A

Can you recommend a scent you can mix with this fragrance: Although this is largely dependent on your application, desired aroma, and personal preference, many customers prefer to add a vanilla fragrance as a complement to the berry. Lemon or mint can add complexity and brightness, sugary or bakery scents may be sweet or warm, and earthy scents add depth to the profile. Remember to check the IFRA usage rate for each fragrance. Consider: Very Vanilla, Bergamot, Birthday Cake, Lemon Pound Cake, Lemon Verbena, Rosemary Mint, Tomato Leaf, or a subtle floral.
Is this fragrance gel wax compatible?: Hi Loretta! Because we do not carry gel wax, we have not tested this product in that application. Not all fragrance oils can be used in gel wax; testing is required EVERY TIME with each scent because not all FOs will blend. The flashpoint of the fragrance must be 170F or higher in order to use it with gel wax (this FO's is 171). Do not use more than a 3.1% fragrance load with gel wax, and use zinc wicks.
Do all your FO can be used on the reed diffusers?: Hello! Please refer to Category 10A of the IFRA documentation for each individual fragrance oil in which you are interested to see if they can be used in Reed Diffusers. Most of our fragrances now have this documentation listed on each individual product page of our website, but if you do not see it available for download, please reach out to us via email request and we would be more than happy to send it to you.
I'm curious about the low flash point of 115¬∞? Isn't that a bit low for candle making? Or am I misunderstanding the way flash points work?: The flashpoint of candle fragrance oil is the temperature at which point it becomes combustible if exposed to a spark or flame. In order for it to be combustible, the fragrance oil would have to be 100% by itself (not in candle form).
Does this fragrance discolor in cold process soap?: This fragrance has a content of Vanillin - 0.00% . We have not tested this fragrance in cold process soap at our facility, so we recommend to test in small batches to see how it performs.
