Black Cherry Merlot Fragrance Oil
Choose a Variant

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

Alternative branding ideas: Merry Merlot, Full Bodied, Uncorked 

Suggested Colors: Burgundy, Deep Red

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.

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.

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!
