A seductive blend of aromatic herbs, warm amber, and florals, Black Violet and Saffron fragrance oil adds mystique to luxury product lines. Gentle notes of bergamot and geranium fade into a bouquet of rose and violet with a woodsy, rich base of saffron with a hint of leather and vetiver.

Candles, melts, and tarts work well with this year-round fragrance. Perfect for a luxe spa line, Black Violet and Saffron is approved for bath and personal care products from soap and sugar scrubs to lotions.

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

This fragrance oil is infused with natural essential oils including cedarwood and vetiver.

Blend recommendations: Saffron Cedarwood, Lavender, Vetiver, Sandalwood, Lavender Embers, Arctic Ivy, Cherry Eclipse, Elderflower Aperitif

Alternative branding ideas: Saffron and Suede, Saffron Santal, Violet and Oud

Suggested colors: Purple, Natural, Gray, Purple/Grey

Lye Water Temperature 115ºF (46.1°C)
Oil Temperature 118ºF (47.8°C)

We did not experience any acceleration or separation. The oils and water were slow to come to a light trace and we observed the batter turned yellow. We continued blending to a medium trace and started to see slight signs of acceleration, however the batter remained easy to work with and poured smoothly into the mold. After 24 hours, the soap was too soft to unmold so we allowed an additional 3 days before trying again. The soap had discolored to a dark brownish-yellow and all but the corners had reached the gel phase. The scent was incredibly strong. After 30 days, the soap discolored to a light tan shade and the scent was very strong. If you prefer a lightly scented soap this fragrance could be used at a lower rate and still maintain the character of the fragrance.

Wowww smells so sexy & dreamy

Cristal 2025-04-06

One of my top 5 fav scents from candle science so far! I mixed it with sandalwood (.6 ounce of black violet & .2 ounce of sandalwood) for a 11 ounce coconut soy candle! Omg out the bottle it smells amazing and can’t wait to smell it when it burns! I hope I am patient enough to let the candle cure…. It’s something I’m really working on haha. I also made some wax melts with it which I am definitely melting before cure time oops

Unique, Exotic, and Spot On

This might be one of my favorite fragrance oils for candles. I poured this in Coconut Apricot wax at 6% and it permeated through the entire studio. Holds its scent well after cure and has an amazing fragrance. If you like highly scented candles but don't want to use a high percentage, this one is wonderful.

I've picked up about a dozen or so fragrances, and this one is by far my favorite. I really dislike sweet scents, they become cloying very fast for me, but this one has a subtle sweetness that I actually really enjoy. It's complex while also being very light and unobtrusive. This is the one!

I just wanted to say I use this for my candle line, I make spiritual intentions candles and, this scent is so powerful for meditation and psychic activity. Lovely. Thank you so much 😊. It’s crazy strong in my soy wax as well.

Crazy strong!

Let me just tell you, I’m sitting in the living room and the candle I made 2 days ago is lit in the bathroom at the front of the house, and the scent is just flowing through the house. I use 10% with coco83 custom blend, and 9% in 6006. I think I might need to back this off to like 8-9%! I love how complex it is. Excellent cold and hot throw in my wax.
