Lavender & Cedar Fragrance

Hyacinth is a fresh, white, clean, intense floral, and the quintessential scent of spring. After extensive searching and testing, this is the ONLY hyacinth fragrance we ever got our hands on that didn't mutate most hideously in cold-process soap -- this one stays true and strong. A delight in soaps, candles, and toiletries; delivers an almost unparalleled bang for the buck. PERSONAL NOTE: After buying many hyacinth plants that quickly drooped and died, now I don't bother -- a couple drops of Hyacinth fragrance on a cotton ball or vintage handkerchief and my powder room, guest room, and kitchen smell like a veritable greenhouse in April. Flashpoint: 162º F. While Hyacinth is outstanding on its own, it's also a terrific blender; here it plays a key part in a blend that we call "not your grandmother's rose fragrance": Elizabethan Rose 4 parts Sweet Cakes True Rose Fragrance 2 parts Sweet Cakes Lavender Breeze Fragrance 1 part Sweet Cakes Hyacinth Fragrance This blend is fresh and new, yet it has a romantic charm. It has the time-tested fragrance of roses, yet is loved by people who usually don't care for rose fragrances. And Hyacinth will brighten up any floral blend. This Elizabethan Rose blend will transport you into a summer garden on a warm breezy night. If you'd like to substitute a different rose scent, you can use 5 parts Sweet Cakes Rose Petals, or 3 parts Sweet Cakes Red Rose.

Lavender and chamomile essential oils are two of the most beloved of nature's essential oils, as they're both known to produce feelings of calm, peacefulness, and well-being. Our Lavender & Chamomile fragrance includes generous amounts of natural essential oils of lavender and chamomile, so that this blend, which smells delightfully soothing, herbal, and fresh, also offers the aromatherapy benefits of a pure essential oil version, but at a tiny fraction of the price. Because this scent contains no "perfumey" or "manufactured" notes, it's perfect for soap, candles, and any type of personal care product, like shampoo, lotion, and bath gel, for all ages and sexes. Truly a "universal" fragrance concept. Flashpoint: >200º F.

Our terrifically popular version of a Bath & Body Works favorite. Pearberry (type) is a lush, fruity combination of pear, apple, peach, and melon blended with a floral bouquet of geranium, rose, and jasmine, all atop a musk base. Mouthwatering! (And if you just can't get enough pear, please see the listings for our versions of PEAR GLACE or SWEET YELLOW PEAR.) Flashpoint: 190º F.

A fresh, pleasant, unisex sea scent, for those ocean-scent-seekers wanting something neither too brisk nor too floral. Try mixing this 2:1 with our Sweet Rain to approximate the scent of Primal Elements' Facets of the Sea blend. Flashpoint: >200º F. Our Oceania Fragrance is a blending favorite here at Sweet Cakes. Love those floral fragrances but, want to try something unexpected? Add a touch of our Oceania. For the stronger florals such as our Gardenia or our Tuberose Deluxe, try 1 part Oceania to 3 parts floral. For lighter florals, use 1 part Oceania to 4 or 5 parts floral. Looking for a more unisex blend? Try this subtle, calming blend: Mountain Stream 4 parts Sweet Cakes Woodlands (B&BW type) Fragrance 1 part Sweet Cakes Oceania Fragrance In the Pacific Northwest, there are the most unbelievable virgin forests, and the fragrance of these forests is just incredible. The fresh mountain air and the green of the moss and the evergreens is punctuated here and there by pure mountain streams that cascade hundreds of feet into ribbon waterfalls and cooling misty pools. This is the feel that this blend creates. "Mountain Stream" also makes a wonderful, calming candle scent.
