Strawberry Cream Fragrance Oil is a sweet, fruity scent oil that captures ripe strawberries layered with soft whipped cream. It is a synthetic-style perfume oil made for craft and cosmetic use, meaning you add a small amount to candles, soaps, scrubs and bath products to give them a lasting, dessert-like aroma. It is not for eating or drinking.
What it smells like
The profile is exactly what the name suggests: juicy, just-picked strawberries rounded off with a creamy, milky sweetness. It reads as fresh and playful rather than sharp or synthetic when used at sensible doses. Because it leans sweet and gourmand, it works beautifully in products meant to feel comforting and indulgent.
Where you can use it
This fragrance oil is versatile across cold-process and melt-and-pour soaps, wax candles and a range of bath and body formulations. Azlok lists it as suitable for:
- Bath bombs and bath salts
- Body and facial scrubs
- Creams, lotions and body butters
- Shower gels, shampoos and conditioners
- Lip balms and lipsticks (in cosmetic-grade formulas)
- Soy, beeswax and paraffin candles
A little goes a long way. The oil is concentrated, so start low and build up rather than overloading your batch.
How to use it
Usage depends on what you are making, but a few general rules keep results consistent:
- Follow a usage rate. For most leave-on and rinse-off body products, fragrance is typically added at around 0.5–3% of the total recipe. For candles, 6–10% of the wax weight is common. Always check the guidance for your specific base.
- Add at the right temperature. In melt-and-pour soap and candle wax, add the oil once the base has cooled slightly (not boiling hot) so the scent does not burn off.
- Mix thoroughly. Stir well and evenly so the fragrance distributes throughout, especially in thick creams and butters.
- Test a small batch first. Colour, scent throw and behaviour can vary between recipes, so trial a small quantity before scaling up.
Safety notes
Fragrance oils are potent and need respectful handling:
- Do not ingest. Despite the name, this is not a food flavouring.
- Always patch-test a finished skincare product on a small area before regular use, as fragrance can cause sensitivity in some people.
- Keep it well within recommended usage rates for skin-contact products.
- Avoid contact with eyes; work in a ventilated space.
- Store away from children and pets.
- Refer to the product's MSDS and any allergen information before using it in items you sell.
Buying and storage

To protect the aroma and shelf life:
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Keep the cap tightly closed to prevent evaporation and scent loss.
- Used correctly and stored well, the oil has a shelf life of around 2 years.
Made in India, it is a practical choice for makers who want a reliable gourmand fragrance without importing.
