Fragrance Descriptions

Let's go down this particular path, shall we? Let's get you a solid idea of what our fragrances are like. This is going to be a long post, so bear with me. I should re-emphasize that I use body-safe fragrance oils to add scent to everything I create. I can and will do essential oil products on a special order basis, but depending on the essential oil requested, it can be a bit pricey.

I've spent thousands of dollars buying and testing fragrance oils, and I honestly believe I've found the best fragrances. I have had no incidents reported of skin sensitivity, and I am ever so careful in proper dilution of the fragrance oils, to avoid any chance of risky concentrations. While I adore the rich fragrances we provide in our products, the concentrations I use are still able to be below what would be required from lesser-quality fragrance oils.

Blackberry-Sage is exactly what it says...the fresh, rich smell of sun-ripened blackberries, with just a hint of earthy sage to keep it from being too sharp. This is an amazing fragrance, and one that's great for both men and women. It can be used in any body-product application as well as being great for candles and wax melts.

Black Canyon is one that truly surprised me. I had it pegged for a great fragrance for gentlemen, only to discover through testing and orders, that ladies love it too! So it's going into the "great for men and women" category.

It's described as a deep musk, with light floral undertones, and notes of patchouli and sandalwood added in. I just know that it's my favorite fragrance for my husband...and since I'm the one who smells him, my preference wins.

Black Raspberry Vanilla. OMG. This fragrance evokes smiles like you can't imagine. I have customers who have made me promise to never drop this fragrance. They come back to it time after time, and they're never regretful.

With true-to-nature black raspberry as the top note and heady, rich vanilla as the side-kick, this smells good enough to eat...but please don't. As a side note, this and all vanilla-containing fragrance oils can cause discoloration of soap. This discoloration doesn't in any way impact the wonderful qualities of the soap...it's purely visual, and can be easily overcome by the inclusion of a vanilla stabilizer. I elect to never include this compound in soaps without a customer's express request, because I prefer to provide as few additives as possible. So if you find you adore this fragrance, but don't like the slight morphing of the color, please don't forget to ask about vanilla stabilizer for this and all vanilla scents.

Cinnamon-Balsam (A Seasonal Fragrance) is just about the perfect fall and winter fragrance for candles and wax melts, and it's pretty great as a soap fragrance and room/linen spray fragrance for holidays. With the warm, inviting scent of cinnamon and just a touch of balsam, it's perfect for just about any product you'd want to use it in. Since our sense of smell triggers memories and emotions the most strongly of all our senses, this fragrance can enhance the holiday spirit when used!

Clean Cotton can whisk you back to times when sheets were air dried on a clothes-line, and at night, when you snuggled down into bed, you could smell the sunlight. A clean, fresh fragrance, this is incredible in wax melts, candles, linen/room sprays and even AbScent bathroom spritz! If you're familiar with Yankee-type fragrances, the distributor says it's very similar to that scent.

Think warm and creamy, think sweet and a tittilation for all the senses, and you come up with Creme Brulee. This fragrance is a genuine hit with so many ladies I know! The caramelized sugar and rich vanilla are perfectly balanced in this fragrance oil, making it perfect for any product you want, from sugar scrubs to linen spray and wax melts!

Coconut Milk is our next fragrance. Think of desert islands, sunny beaches, and the smell of fresh coconuts, because that's what you'll get in this fragrance. Mild, subtle, but definitely there, this coconut won't overwhelm you. Coconut Milk is 1/2 of our Signature Fragrance. Added to Wild Mountain Honey, it creates one of the most intoxicating, sensual and sensuous fragrances out here. So whether you select it solo or blended, it's incredible.

One of our headiest, most popular fragrances we've named Eden Scent, because this is exactly what we figure the Garden of Eden would have smelled like. Replete with fragrances of fresh strawberry, grapefruit, oranges, ripe melon and kiwi--with a touch of warm sugar--this fragrance is never over-powering, never too much. Perfect in everything from soaps to lotions to linen sprays, this just captivates the senses and brightens your day.

Pink grapefruit fragrance smells just like...pink grapefruit. While this scent isn't recommended for candles, it's just sort of perfect for soaps and sugar-scrub cubes, and well...anything body-product related. Sweet with just a tiny edge of tartness, it's a light scent that doesn't normally over-stay its welcome or clash with colognes. It's also one of the few "fruity" fragrances that men seem to be drawn to as well as women, so hide your goodies, ladies.

Key Lime. Oh heavens, it's the perfect representation of this lovely fruit fragrance. Not too sweet, not too tart, and so different from the norm that you'll thank yourself for turning it into your own personal signature fragrance. What a lovely zesty fragrance for your morning shower!

Lavender may seem old-timey, but it's exactly that classical status that keeps people coming back to it. Reminiscent of a lavender field, this fragrance doesn't need much to make a statement. Perfect for linen sprays, and for soaps when you're in need of a relaxing fragrance that calms and soothes the senses rather than exciting them.

Love Spell, this VS-Type fragrance is the epitome, in my opinion, of the color pink. Light fruit, citrus and floral combine to give you maybe the most romantic scent ever created. Need a home-spa night? Indulge yourself with candles in this fragrance, along with soap, lotion, body mist and linen spray. By the time you've given yourself all that pampering, the stress of the day can be but a faint memory.

Lemongrass-Sage is a bright, cheerful fragrance that mixes the slight sharp lemony goodness of the lemongrass with the warmer, subtler sage notes to create a perfect balance.

Mango-Peach. Just saying it can evoke the imagination! With just the right combination of Mango and Peach...and a tiny bit of lime and cilantro to wrap them perfectly together, you're going to want this fragrance over and over. Refreshing and reinvigorating, this is a must-have for your body product repertoire.

One of the most popular incense fragrances of all time, Nag Champa fragrance oil is available to make your soaps and body products an exotic, mystical delight. An enchanting bouquet of sandalwood, champa flowers, violet and clove, delicately blended with sensual amber, ylang ylang, patchouli and musk, this fragrance is utterly perfect. Use it for candles, but also for body products...you won't be sorry.

Orange by itself is great for body products with a light, citrusy sweetness that can't be missed.

Orange mixed with Clove is a sweet, warm, wonderful holiday/seasonal fragrance that puts you immediately in the autumn/winter holiday mindset. A personal favorite, it's simple, elegant, and unforgettable.

Patchouli is a love-it or hate-it type of fragrance. Usually if worn in too strong a concentration, people end up hating it. But we're ever so careful to keep the concentrations light and lovely. Men and women alike seem drawn to this particular scent, and it's great in candles and body products...but perhaps our most common usage is in our AbScent toilet spritz, when mixed with orange. Not a common combination, you may think...but it works. This earthy, woodsy fragrance is perfectly offset by the citrus, and they combine for the perfect working partnership. Peace out, Earthlings!

Sandalwood...who doesn't love it? This woody scent brings sweetness and spice together in a blend that's got to be experienced to be believed. We've used this in a hand scrub for men, and it's just perfection. This is one of the fragrances that always seems to blend so beautifully with every person's body chemistry to give them their own unique fragrance...it seems to make them smell more uniquely them.

Tropical Paradise allows you to forget your mundane ilfe for awhile, and be whisked away to a heady tropical adventure. Smell the banana, the kiwi, the mango and papaya...top it off with the coconut, and you have a fragrance blend tht delights the senses and stimulates the imagination. Close your eyes, and you can almost feel your toes digging into that warm island sand. It just doesn't get better than this.

What better scent for summer than Watermelon? Sweet, sassy and mouth-watering, it's a great treat for something out of the ordinary. Your mind will be transported to sunny summer days, picnics by the lake, small-town fairs and family adventures when you take the chance and make this fragrance part of your body-product retinue.

Wild Mountain Honey is bursting with the warm scent of honey and undertones of wildflowers to give you a true honey fragrance, but not a boring one! This is crazy-good in lotions, soaps...and irresistible in candles or wax melts. As mentioned in the paragraph about Coconut Milk, this is part of our combination that is our Signature Fragrance...the sweetness of honey with the subtle delight of coconut milk. On its own, or combined with other fragrance oils, this is one of the best honey fragrances I've ever smelled, and I not only recommend it, I use it on an almost-daily basis.

Congratulations! You made it to the bottom of the page! But wait! There's more! Did you know that these aren't the only fragrances I have? <nods> It's true. These are the fragrances I try to keep in stock, but there are other fragrances that I've ordered for special orders (I do that! I really do that!), but which I don't plan on keeping in stock unless demand for them rise. They're like mixers for the most part.

Fragrances like Mulberry, Vanilla, Rose, Peppermint, Leather (NOT for body products, more's the pity!), Baby Powder, Clove...so my point is, if you don't find what you want...ASK ME! I may have it, but if I don't...I can always order it if you're willing to wait the three or four days it usually takes to buy it, if it's in stock. And of course, there's never an up-charge or added expense for custom-ordered fragrances...it just takes a little time. Granted, those custom orders need to be paid and the money deposited before I will order the fragrance oils...I hope that's not an inconvenience, but it only takes one or two shady people to ruin it for everyone else. And I've had my two.
