White Tea Fragrance Oil is a liquid aromatic ingredient inspired by freshly harvested white tea leaves, used to add a clean, light and calming scent to soaps, candles, scrubs, creams and perfume oils. It is a fragrance oil for external, formulation use only \u2014 not a food flavouring or a product you drink.
The scent opens fresh and slightly citrusy, settles into a soft floral heart with a light green tea undertone, and finishes on a gentle musky, slightly woody base. That balance is why so many makers reach for it when they want something refined rather than loud.
What White Tea Fragrance Oil smells like
If you like scents that feel spa-like and understated, this one fits. The profile is built in three layers:
- Top notes: fresh, clean and lightly citrusy, with an aromatic-green touch.
- Heart notes: a soft floral body that is smooth, slightly sweet and green.
- Base notes: soft musk with a subtle woody finish.
The oil itself ranges from pale yellow to clear, so it won't heavily tint pale bases.
Where you can use it
White tea is a versatile, crowd-pleasing scent that works across many cosmetic and personal care projects. Common uses include:
- Cold and melt-and-pour soaps \u2014 a fresh, unisex bar scent.
- Candles \u2014 soy, beeswax or paraffin blends.
- Bath bombs and bath salts.
- Body and facial scrubs.
- Creams and lotions.
- Lip balms and lipsticks (for scent, in tested amounts).
- Perfume oils and roll-ons.
How to use it (dosage and blending)
Fragrance oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. As a general starting guide:
- Candles: around 6\u20138% of wax weight, following your wax manufacturer's maximum.
- Soap: roughly 2\u20135% of the total batch weight.
- Lotions, creams and scrubs: usually well under 1\u20132%.
- Perfume oils: diluted in a carrier such as fractionated coconut oil to your preferred strength.
Always weigh rather than guess, and test a small batch first. Because scent throw and skin tolerance vary by base, treat these as starting points and follow the safe usage limits in the product's IFRA and MSDS documents for the specific application.

FAQ
Is White Tea Fragrance Oil safe for skin products?
Yes, it is formulated for cosmetic and personal care use such as lotions, balms and soaps, provided you stay within recommended usage rates and patch-test first. It is for external use only.
Can I use it as a room or reed diffuser scent?
It is primarily designed for soap, candle and cosmetic formulations. For diffusers, dilute appropriately with a suitable base and test, as fragrance oils behave differently from essential oils.
How much should I add to candles?
A common starting range is 6\u20138% of wax weight, but always follow your specific wax's maximum load and cure the candle before judging the scent throw.
Does it contain real white tea or caffeine?
No. It is a fragrance oil inspired by the aroma of white tea leaves. It recreates the scent and does not contain tea or caffeine.
Why does the colour vary from pale yellow to clear?
Natural batch variation and blending components can cause slight colour differences. This is normal and does not affect performance in most pale or coloured bases.
