An alluring, dark aroma named for black volcanic glass, Obsidian fragrance oil unveils a bold and intriguing blend of notes. 

What elevates this fragrance oil?

Perfect for candles, wax melts, room sprays, and reed diffusers, Obsidian brings intrigue into any space. Add new dimensions to personal care products such as soaps, lotions, and perfumes with this scent.

This fragrance is infused with natural essential oils including patchouli, juniper, orange sweet, and ginger.

Surprised
Melissa Wicked Kerze 2025-07-31

I got this to try and OTB I didn't know what to think but I used it in my soy wax with my fragrance load match ( I gave up on the whole percentage way of doing things) and I can't keep this in stock. I sell out every market. I don't even blend with another FO just straight from the bottle. I have even made lotion and soap with Obsidian so I could do my candle and bath gift box combo and those sell out. I'm in WA so the earthy the better

Wow!!! Simply Amazing
Kia 2025-07-18

I used this in a room spray for my son's room and bathroom and the smell is far better than I imagined. I mixed it with the fresh linen odor eliminator fragrance oil and let me tell you... it absolutely does the trick!! The smell lingers so well. I used it at 5% fragrance load and think I could have easily decreased that to 3% without any issue. I am optimistic that my customers will love this!!

It's THAT good!

This has been an instant hit with my candles and melts line. I use 464 and get a perfect HT/CT every time. The scent not only appeals to male customers but female customers love it just as much. As one customer said, "I could marinate in this scent!" I rebranded the name to have a more universal appeal and will be carrying this year round.

Complex & Moody
Jenn 2025-05-21

This is a very unique scent. The different notes come across in a beautiful way that feels complex. Works well in the apricot coconut wax. This has a fantastic, moody scent that I really enjoy. I will happily repurchase this scent when I run out of my sample bottles.
