There is a shop in Victoria, BC that sells every kind of tea you can possibly imagine. The shop smells just like you might imagine - a majestic blending of Earl Grey tea leaves, black teas, chamomile, shaved ginger root, dried pears, crisp apples, cinnamon sticks, nutmegs, cloves, anise, vanilla, cognac and geranium. This fragrance is like stepping into that shop. Strong, heady, exquisite.

Rustic Escentuals, Inc. certifies that this fragrance product is in compliance with the standards of the International Fragrance Association, provided the fragrance is used in the above application (s) at the noted maximum concentration level(s).
The "Maximum Use Level for Skin Exposure" is the amount of fragrance, flavor and essential oil that can come in contact with the skin. It does not mean that your base product can perform at these levels. You must test each oil in each application for evaluation of desired performance. Baby products have lower use levels than those listed above. If a desired application is not listed above, please call us at 216-503-9361 for maximum skin levels for skin exposure.

Directions: All About IFRA
We have IFRA on all fragrance oils and flavor oils on our website.
What do the maximum levels mean? Let's use Almond Paradise as an example. The IFRA guidelines on this state that there are no restrictions for soaps, shampoos, lotions, etc. So does that mean you can use 100% in your product? No. That would mean your product consists of straight fragrance oil.
The IFRA states the *max* that can be used, not the recommended amount. It is the responsibility of the maker to do their research to see what the recommended usage rate of fragrance oil for their particular recipe is.
For soap, as a general rule of thumb you will use up to 5% of fragrance oil in Cold Process (CP) soap and up to 3% in Melt and Pour (M&P) soap.
So, if you see a fragrance oil and the IFRA says 23% for soap, don't use 23%. IFRA is important when it comes to lower numbers. There are a few fragrance oils that have max usage rates that are less than the percentages shown above. In that case, you can only use the max shown for the oil.

COMMENTS: I love this scent! It is spicy elegant yumminess! It behaves well in CP soap (though like another reviewer mentioned, it's staying power could be better). I'll be trying this in hot process soap and using it for lotions, bath bombs, etc. Advantages: Great scent
no discoloration to speak of
behaves well enough in CP soap

"WONDERFUL scent with tea ..."
COMMENTS: WONDERFUL scent with tea and apple tones blending beautifully!
In CP soap, the scent is strong for the first month and then starts to fade. At the 2 month mark, there is just a trace of the fragrance left in the CP soap.
The scent is so unique and pretty that I am reordering for use in MP. Advantages: Beautiful scent.
No A or R.
Disadvantages: Scent fades within 2 months.

"I love this scent of this..."
COMMENTS: I love this scent of this so much, however for candles, it just has no HT. And we did it at 12%. I don't make soap but from the reviews I read it seems perfect for that. I really wish they could reformulate this scent to have a HT because we would absolutely add it to our line if you didn't have to stand right next to the candle to smell it. Advantages: Smells amazing Disadvantages: Hardly any HT in candle at 12%

COMMENTS: I tried this scent in a batch of HP soap late in the fall. After the first show, I went home and bought a big bottle! My customers love it!! It's appealing, but not over powering. A frequent comment was "it reminds me of books because I love my Earl Grey when I read." Advantages: Subtle, yet evocative of memories.. Disadvantages: None.

"This FO was much stronger..."
COMMENTS: This FO was much stronger than expected. I definitely smell the apples and something else. To me - it doesn't smell like Earl Grey tea, however it still is a very pleasant scent. I've have yet to use the FO, so this is all coming from my OOB experience.

"Perfect blend of Earl Gre..."
COMMENTS: Perfect blend of Earl Grey Tea and Apples. It has just a hint of apple smell to compliment the notes of tea. Very comforting scent and not too strong like most tea scents. Advantages: The smell will sell this if you make a batch of cold process soap. I will buy again! Disadvantages: It accelerates cold process soap. I did not experience ricing but you have to work fast. I did a solid color so it wasn't an issue but you will have to be a pro to use this scent for multiple colors and swirl details.

"This fragrance is awesome..."
COMMENTS: This fragrance is awesome! It has such a cozy smell to it if that makes any sense. When I take a sniff, it always reminds me of a crisp fall day and a mug of hot tea. Advantages: Smells wonderful and performs well in cold process soap. Disadvantages: A tiny bit of ricing, but nothing that couldn't be controlled within a few seconds of hand stirring.

COMMENTS: This was a sample find that is now a staple in my line. It is a clean fragrance but not like that of linen or ocean. Smells like Earl Grey and the Apple is there just enough to add a hint of sweetness.
