Black Cherry Merlot is a boozy, sophisticated twist to the classic black cherry. Top notes of black currant and apple brighten the red wine and black cherry heart of this fragrance oil. Aged oak and amber base notes highlight the merlot, while vanilla balances the sweet finish. Patchouli and nutmeg essential oils enhance the wood and spice notes for added depth. Deep, dark, and luscious, Black Cherry Merlot adds beauty to wax melts, tarts, and candles. Reed diffusers evoke the distinct aromas of a wine cellar, while homemade bath and body products bring a fruity sweetness to any washroom.

This fragrance oil is infused with natural essential oils, including patchouli, nutmeg, and davana.

Note: Black Cherry Merlot is too strong out of the bottle for the fragrance notes to be in balance. It should therefore only be evaluated in a candle or personal care base.

Blends well with: Cashmere Plum, Almond Macaron

Alternative branding ideas: Merry Merlot, Full Bodied, Uncorked

Suggested Colors: Burgundy, Deep Red

Delicious smell!

Another huge hit! Always a great smell! I have to say I truly enjoy using candle science’s fragrance oils. They have not disappointed me and they have, by far, the strongest and best smelling fragrance oils. I’ve tried a few other distributors and I’m sorry to say they don’t come close. Candle science’s fragrance oils, to me, have more of a true smell than a soapy or artificial smell. Highly recommended! Thank you Candle Science!

Deliciously sweet!

Magnificent yummy scent that definitely smells divine! We mix black cherry merlot with raspberry & birthday cake and omg...it's extra scrumptious. Long lasting smell our family enjoys!

Beautiful Scent

Love the scent, but doesn’t seem to work well in the diffuser. Liquid seems to quickly evaporate in 3 - 4 days compared to other fragrances.

This worked wonderful for my candles! The hot and cold throw simply amazing the fragrance true to the name.

Not super sure, but still good

I love this scent, but it has a sort of syrupy element to it. It’s fine from a distance, but not right in the wax. Still a good scent.

Smells great in the bottle

Scent faded quite a bit in CP and discolored significantly. NO NOTES TO WARN YOU! The natural part of my bar turned as yellow as natural Shea butter. Like Yellow Yellow... pretty disappointed, it would've been an awesome color combo had it not.

One of my favorites!

This scent has a very true to a pure cherry smell which is good. I don’t think it’s boozy, simply fruity and bright. For candles be sure to follow the flash point. Don’t pour this in your candle wax close to the flash point. Let your wax cool down then add this fragrance. Stir for about a minute and you’ll have no issues with cold or hot throw.

Hey there! Thanks so much for your review. We are glad to hear that you have found something that works well for you, though our recommendation is to add fragrance oil at 185°F across the board. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us via email at [email protected].

Candles have little to no smell

I must be doing something wrong but I just don’t know what. I buy all my fragrance from candle science but purchase my wooden wicks, 120z vessels, and coco apricot crème wax from wooden wick, aka Maksey. I warm the wax as close to 200 degrees as I can get it but it’s almost impossible. Usually reaches 193 degrees. I immediately add fragrance and stir for 2 minutes and pore it right away. Let it harden and place my lid on to cure for 2 weeks. But the smell is just barely there. What am I doing wrong :(

Better than out of bottle

In the bottle it smelled like a super cherry nyquil but once you put it in the wax, it smells amazing and my family absolutely loved it! I got a sample to test it out and I will definitely buy a bigger bottle for mass production. Its a winner so far!
