Bergamot and Nectarine Fragrance Oil: A Fresh, Fruity Scent for Candles and Soaps

Azlok's Bergamot and Nectarine Fragrance Oil is a scent oil made for crafting: it gives your candles, soaps, diffusers and body-care products a bright citrus opening with a juicy, peach-like sweetness that settles into a clean, light woody-musky finish. It is a liquid fragrance oil, whitish-yellow in colour, and is meant for scenting your creations rather than for eating or applying neat to the skin.

What this fragrance smells like

The blend is built in three layers, the way most well-made fragrance oils are. Knowing the notes helps you match it to a project.

Top note: sparkling bergamot citrus with a juicy, sweet, peach-like burst of nectarine.
Middle note: a soft, pulpy heart that is slightly floral with a creamy-fruity tone.
Base note: light musk and gentle woodiness that keeps the scent grounded and long-lasting.

Overall it reads as fresh, citrusy, fruity-sweet and cheerful — a good all-rounder for spring and summer ranges, and pleasant enough to sell year-round.

What you can make with it

This is a versatile fragrance oil that works across several craft categories:

Candles: soy, coconut, beeswax or paraffin container candles and wax melts.
Soaps: cold-process and melt-and-pour bars.
Diffusers and room sprays: reed diffusers and home fragrance blends.
Bath and body: bath bombs, body and facial scrubs, creams, lip balms, lipsticks and perfume oils.

Because the fruity-citrus profile is so approachable, it is a popular choice for small businesses building a gift-friendly product line.

How to use it

Fragrance oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Always work by weight, not by guesswork.

Candles: a typical fragrance load is around 6–10% of your wax weight. Add the oil at the correct temperature for your wax and stir thoroughly for even scent throw.
Cold-process soap: follow your soap calculator's recommended usage rate, generally in the 3–5% range of oils. Test a small batch first, as citrus-type fragrances can occasionally affect trace.
Diffusers: blend with a suitable diffuser base and stir well.
Leave-on skin products: use conservatively, well within the maximum safe usage rate for that product type. When in doubt, keep the percentage low.

Do a small test batch before scaling up. This tells you how the scent behaves in your specific recipe and how strong it comes across once cured.

Safety and honest notes

This is a fragrance oil for external, crafted products — not a food flavouring and not an essential oil.

Do not ingest and do not apply the neat oil directly to skin. Always dilute or incorporate it into a finished product.
Patch-test any new skin product on a small area before regular use.
Work in a well-ventilated space and avoid contact with eyes.
Keep away from children and pets, and away from open flames until it is safely set in your product.
Check the accompanying MSDS and any allergen information and follow the recommended maximum usage rates for your product category (IFRA-type guidance is a good reference for makers).

FAQ
