Ombr Nomad Designer Fragrance Oil is an oriental-woody fragrance oil inspired by a well-known luxury scent, built for DIY perfumers, candle makers and cosmetic hobbyists who want a rich, long-lasting aroma without paying designer prices. It opens with smoky woody accords, settles into warm amber, and finishes with a subtle spicy edge. Azlok stocks it in sizes from 50 gm up to 5 kg, starting at ₹999.
What Ombr Nomad Fragrance Oil Smells Like
This is a masculine-leaning composition, though it works beautifully as a unisex blend too. Expect three broad phases as it develops:
- Top: a bold, slightly smoky woody impression that grabs attention.
- Heart: warm amber with quiet spicy nuances that add depth.
- Base: a resinous, refined dry-down that leaves a memorable trail.
The oil is a pale yellow liquid. It is phthalate-free, paraben-free and free from SLS and SLES, which makes it easier to work into modern cosmetic and personal-care formulas.
How to Use It
This concentrated oil is versatile. A little goes a long way, so always start low and adjust.
Perfumes and attars
For alcohol-based perfumes, dissolve the fragrance oil in perfumer's alcohol at roughly 15–25% concentration, then let it mature for a few days before judging the scent. For attars, blend it into a neutral carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil or a light jojoba base.
Candles
In soy, coconut or paraffin wax, a fragrance load of about 6–10% by weight is typical. Add the oil once your wax reaches the recommended temperature for your wax type, stir gently and thoroughly, then pour. Always cure candles for a few days for a stronger scent throw.
Soaps and cosmetics
Use around 1–3% in soaps, lotions, room mists and other personal-care items. For cold-process soap, test a small batch first, as woody-amber notes can behave differently through saponification.
Tips and Safety Notes
Fragrance oils are concentrated aroma materials and should be handled with care.
- Do not apply neat to skin. Always dilute before any skin contact and do a patch test on your inner arm first.
- Do not ingest. This is a cosmetic-grade fragrance oil, not a food flavouring.
- Keep away from children and pets, and store away from open flames.
- Work in a ventilated space and avoid contact with eyes.
- Follow IFRA-style usage limits for the product type you are making, and never assume more scent equals a better result.
Because woody-amber notes are strong, resist the urge to overdose your blends. Overloading can turn a refined scent harsh and can also cause problems like poor burn quality in candles.
Buying and Storage
Choose your size by project scale: 50 gm is ideal for testing and small batches, while 500 gm to 5 kg suits regular candle or soap production. The oil has a shelf life of about two years when stored correctly.
- Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
- Store away from direct sunlight and heat, which can dull the aroma over time.
- Label your dilutions with the date and concentration so your results are repeatable.
