Product Notice, January 13, 2025:  This product has been discontinued due to low sales. If you're a fan of Persimmon Citron, we recommend trying Citron and Mandarin.

Welcome the New Year with a fragrance oil that symbolizes good luck and transformation, Persimmon Citron. Persimmons and other citrus fruits have a long history of significance in many different cultures. In China, persimmons are given as a symbol of good luck during the New Year. In Korea, and as part of Buddhism, persimmons represent transformation. In Western traditions, an orange was a luxurious, sought-after Christmas gift and remains a common stocking stuffer to this day. Our Persimmon Citron fragrance oil is a nod to this significant, symbolic fruit.

Citron, orange peel, tangerine, and peach compliment the persimmon’s unique citrus scent. This heady, bright fragrance is softened by a base of clove and bamboo. We recommend it year round for an upscale home fragrance in candles, melts and tarts, or use it in lotions, soaps, or bath scrubs.

This fragrance is infused with essential oils, including eucalyptus, palmarosa, clary sage, amyris, lemongrass, black pepper, galbanum, chamomile, and celery seed.

Blends well with: Very Vanilla, Mango and Coconut Milk, Citrus Agave, Cranberry Woods, Macintosh Apple

Alternative branding ideas: Ripe Persimmon, Persimmon and Tangerine

Suggested colors: Orange, Peach

We experienced excessive acceleration and no separation. This came to an emulsion slowly so we continued stick blending hoping to get a nice medium trace. Instead, we felt the dreaded bog of the stick blender that happens when the batter is about to become “soap on a stick”. We quickly removed the stick blender and tried to hand stir it to make sure there were no loose oils. The texture was like thick, mashed potatoes. We plopped the soap into the mold and gave it several hard tamps on the counter then used a spatula to smooth the top. After 24 hours we observed the soap bars almost reached a full gel, just the corners on the bottom were ungelled. The scent was very strong and the bars had discolored to a cream shade. After 30 days the scent was still strong and the bars became a light yellow color. It would be best to hand stir in the fragrance at a very light trace and plan to work quickly.

Discontinued?! WHY!!!?
Britt 2025-01-17

I am so disappointed that this is discontinued. This is one of my best sellers by far and has been a customer favorite for years. CandleScience should allow an option where limited batches of this still exist. Other citrus scents don't compare. I'm so shocked - this is going to genuinely hurt my business. I wish notice had gone out in advance of this being discontinued. It feels like the least CS could have done.

Surprise Holiday Citrus scent!
Diana Gonzales 2024-07-11

Oh my goodness! Talk about a surprise scent, this is it. Once it’s been poured and cured for two weeks it unfolds into an upscale holiday scent. It’s great for both Fall & Winter. Don’t pass this one up because of the unknown Persimmon factor. It’s an absolute delight! My customers have loved it for the last two seasons.
