As of January 16, 2020 our Driftwood was revised to meet our new stringent safety standards to remove ingredients with similar characteristics to those on the Prop 65 List. See new version.

Great as a masculine or feminine scent, our Driftwood is a woody, earthy mix of vanilla and sandalwood, warmed with musk and a touch of patchouli for a calming and long lasting fragrance oil. This fragrance is infused with with natural essential oils, including Cedarwood, Patchouli, and Clove leaf. Note Profile:
Top: Sea Salt, Spice
Middle: Cedar, Patchouli
Base: Vanilla, Sandalwood, Dark Musk
Note: The patchouli note is dominant when smelled straight out of the bottle, but those notes are tempered to create a fuller fragrance once in wax.

Suggested Colors: Blue, Grey, Brown

Amazing Mild Scent

Love this scent! If your looking for a nice cool scent that is not overpowering this is a great choice!

Out of all my fragrances, this is the ONLY one that my Father in law likes. I made soap with it yesterday for the first time, and it behaved beautifully. No ricing, seizing, nothing untoward. Next time I'm ordering a bigger bottle. :-)

Weird On Its Own, Blends Beautifully

By itself this FO to me smells like celery sticks, like the remnants of a failed diet that has lingered in the fridge far too long, is what it reminds me of haha. However.. When I blend it with other FO's, it adds a neutral yet distinct wood quality to a blend and the strange celery note vanishes. Try doing a 3:1 blend between this FO and vanilla FO to see (smell) what I mean. 2:1:1 blend of this FO, a vanilla FO and a black pepper FO was pretty amazing. The Driftwood FO held its own with a neutral wood quality at just 50% of the blend, wasn't loud but was definitely notably present in the character of the overall scent, again sans weird celery smell. I recommend getting a sample of this FO to play with if you like to make multi-FO blends.

Love.

I used 464 with 8% FL. Will try 10%. I love this smell, but wish it gave better throws!

One of my faves!

Right out of the bottle, I was in love. This is hands down one of my favorite fragrance oils EVER from any supplier. It's earthy and nostalgic. It makes for the best mixer and if CS ever stops selling this, I'm in big trouble because I use it for one of my favorite blends. Its great on its own as well. Good in 464.
