One of our top, top sellers, and of course the perfect fragrance for spring! A good lilac can be elusive -- but this one's the real deal. A best-seller at Sweet Cakes year after year, because it smells like the real thing, works beautifully in soap, and is strong, strong, strong. Flashpoint: >200º F.

Muy refrescante! Top notes of salty lime, plum, raspberry, apple, strawberry, and peach lead to a floral middle of rose and jasmine, with a sweet bottom of hay and vanilla. The perfect summertime lime fragrance -- true, fresh, and cooling, with just a touch of sweetness. Flashpoint: 170º F.

Our duplication of this top-seller from Victoria's Secret's "Garden Collection." Top notes of peach, mango, strawberry, and mandarin flow into a complex middle of apple blossom, rose, tamarind, and coconut milk. The fragrance is completed with smooth notes of musk, vanilla, and precious woods. Bottom Line: A very likable scent -- bursting with juicy peach and mango -- perfect for the hot, hot days of summer. And have you been to the Victoria's Secret website lately?? There's all kinds of pictures of ladies with their bosoms flying every which way. I do not suggest you go see it for yourself. Flashpoint: 152º F. Note to cold-process soapers: We tested five Love Spell fragrances, and this is the only one that didn't develop an "off" note after full cure-time in CP soap.

Most magnolia fragrances are simple and sweet, but often overly so. *This* magnolia is sexy and intoxicating and complex -- with top notes of grapefruit, orange, ylang ylang, hyacinth, and freesia leading to a fruity-floral middle of tuberose, lilyof the valley, magnolia (of course!), and plum. Vanilla and musk in the bottom add stability and sultriness. A favorite flower of the South finally gets the treatment it deserves. BOTTOM LINE: The name says it all. Flashpoint: 154F. Here's an upscale "cooling" magnolia blend: Afternoon Delight 5 parts Sweet Cakes World's Best Magnolia Fragrance 2 parts Sweet Cakes Orange Blossom Fragrance 1 part Sweet Cakes Cucumber Melon (B&BW type) Fragrance A hot afternoon, and a blend that cooled the warm summer day! This blend is unique, and a bit risky, I'll admit. But the end result is a wonderful breath of fresh air. Blending tip: For a more floral blend, add one part True Rose. It will actually "warm" the blend up a bit.

Fruity, tropical, and sweet. Delightful on its own, or try blending it with our Raspberry, Mandarin Orange, or Fruity Vanilla fragrance oils. Flashpoint: 170º F.

Ohhhhhh, my -- words are inadequate to describe the splendors of this fragrance. A clean, masculine musk that somehow manages to be fresh and phenomenally sexy at the same time. We're a pretty hardened bunch around here, fragrance-evaluation-wise, but the ladies of Sweet Cakes went absolutely ga-ga passing the tiny sample bottle around. What sets this one apart? The topnote is accented with a little-known Indonesian essential oil called "jatamansi," which adds mystery to the blend, and bottom notes of sandalwood, patchouli, and amber boost its staying power. BOTTOM LINE: This is the fragrance oil your mother warned you about. Flashpoint: >200º F. Our Masculine Musk fragrance, while extraordinary on its own, is also a terrific blend-enhancer. Try this understated but powerfully sexy blend: Sensual Sandalwood 4 parts Sweet Cakes Sandalwood Fragrance 1 part Sweet Cakes Amber Fragrance 1 part Sweet Cakes Masculine Musk Fragrance This blend is wonderful for both men and women -- for the romantic in us all. This blend is just asking to be added to bath oils, lotion, shampoo/shower gel, and soap (I found it to lose something in the translation in candles). If you're looking for something to add to your repertoire of romance fragrances beyond the typical floral fragrances, give this one a try. Don't have Masculine Musk on hand? Try substituting Sweet Cakes' Musk Fragrance -- the end result will be softer, though. If you're looking for a fragrance so "sultry and sexy" that when you wear it you'll give JLo a "run for her money," give this one a try: Midnight Oasis 2 parts Sweet Cakes Midnight in Tunisia Fragrance 1 part Sweet Cakes Masculine Musk Fragrance As timeless as the moon over a desert oasis, as seductive as silk, Midnight Oasis is a must if you are looking for a truly unique, sexy, floral blend. Also try adding a half part of Sweet Cakes Amber fragrance for a softer, more sensual feel.

Merry top notes of juicy orange, red raspberry and cranberry lead to a yummy midsection of apple blossom, blackberry and strawberry finishing with a luscious base of blond woods and mistletoe. BOTTOM LINE:Have a Merry Berry Holiday Season! Flashpoint: >200º F

The aroma of farm-fresh milk kissed with bottom notes of sweet honey, musk, and amber. Smoooooth and silky, with a wee touch of sexiness. BOTTOM LINE: Like a State Fair Dairy Princess in a bottle. Flashpoint: 158º F.

Our take on an international fragrance boutique best-seller -- an uplifting and modern version of a classic floriental blend with a hint of pink pepper to add complexity and spice. A voluptuous floral blend with the scent of a late spring Oriental garden. Rich and complex, this fragrance has notes of pink peony, lemon, rose, cassis, pink pepper, and a fresh watery accord all atop a sweet, long-lasting drydown of amber, sandalwood and vetiver. Essential Oils contained in this fragrance: Geranium, Lemon, Vetiver Flashpoint: >200º F

Try our interpretation of the newest stunner from English perfumery great Jo Malone, inspired by the flavor of ripe peach sorbet. A sweet, summery blend of nectarine, peach, black currant, green apple, lemon, and green mandarin notes atop a midsection of jasmine, lily, ylang, and honey, with clean musk and earthy vetiver in the drydown. Like a drowsy June afternoon in the garden of a Cotswolds cottage -- enchanting! Flashpoint: >200º F

It's baaaack! After having been on the receiving end of a write-in campaign vigorous enough to resurrect even the show "Kate and Allie," we're convinced that you like this, you really like this. New Mown Hay is an unpretentious, down-home blend of fresh hay notes brightened by a touch of citrus and floral. Did I already say unpretentious? Good, because there's no perfumey, show-offy, big city hijinks in these here bottles. Splendid on its own or to use it to give a "coumarin" (fancy word for hay) note to blends. Flashpoint: >200º F.
