Product Notice, January 9, 2024: This product has been discontinued due to low sales. If you're a fan of Pomegranate Bitters, we recommend trying Pomegranate Cider.

Pomegranate Bitters is an alluring blend of tart red fruit and herbal florals. Bright grapefruit and lemon peel start off this fragrance oil with a citrus punch. Notes of red currant and pomegranate bolster this lively scent, before giving way to base notes of rosemary, geranium, and earthy cedar.

In addition to creating beautifully scented candles and wax melts all on its own, Pomegranate Bitters is a perfect choice to use as a blender for creating custom cocktail and beverage fragrances.

This fragrance is infused with natural essential oils, including cedarwood, cedar leaf, rosemary, grapefruit, peppermint, palmarosa, clary sage, lemongrass, amyris, black pepper, blue chamomile flower, and citronella.

Blends well with: Dry Gin and Cypress, Lemon Blueberry Crumble, Cranberry Prosecco

Alternative branding ideas: Pomegranate and Currant, Pomegranate Rose, Pomegranate Cassis, Persephone’s Kiss, Forbidden Fruit

Suggested colors: Burgundy, Deep Red

We experienced some acceleration but no separation. Using the stick blender brought the batter to medium trace quickly and it began to thicken as we poured into the mold. Hand stirring kept the batter more fluid. Due to the acceleration, we would recommend hand stirring in the fragrance at a very light trace to allow more time to work. After 24 hours there was a slight tan discoloration and the soap had almost reached a full gel with no insulation. The scent was very strong. After 30 days the soap had a pale yellow discoloration and the scent was strong.

*Note - This fragrance was tested at a 5% fragrance load. With the release of IFRAs 49th Amendment this fragrance can now be used at 4.39% to remain IFRA compliant.

Please bring this back!

One of my top selling fragrances. I'm so sad to see this is gone! Wish we would have more notice to what is being discontinued as I didn't have a chance to purchase more before it was gone. Pomegranate Cider is not the same as this (it's a lot sweeter) and I'm so upset this isn't available anymore.

Please Bring This Back

This is a key scent in one of my top-selling candles and it is so amazing! There is nothing like it. Even a short restock would be amazing. If I had known it was being discontinued, I would have bought a lot more.

Bring it Back!!!

This was my replacement scent for a best selling blend that CS discontinued years ago. This is a decent replacement, and the candle was still a best seller. Now the spring season is upon us and I'm out of my best selling fragrance! This is going to hurt unless I can find a substitute... Again.

Bring it back !!

This was the best scent !!!! So popular !!! I loved that it was punchy and bright and tart. I hope something new replaced it, the pomegranate cider does not seem the same at all

This was a key scent in my candle line-up and sold like crazy!

I contemplated opening a store for the past 6 months and finally decided to do it, all because this scent with a few drops of my secret blend was selling like hotcakes! Is there any other place we can get it? It was a key to my blend. It was truly so different. I should have bought it all in the fall. So disappointing!
