What are fragrance oils?
Fragrance oils are blended aromatic materials used to add scent, character and identity to finished products. They can be simple functional scents or more complex fragrance profiles designed for premium product ranges.
They are used in surface cleaners, interior cleaners, shampoos, air fresheners, laundry products, floor cleaners, refills, bathroom cleaners and automotive detailing products.
Technical Consideration
Fragrance needs to work inside the formulation, not just smell good.
Fragrance selection should consider solubility, stability, pH, surfactant compatibility, solvent content, colour impact, allergen declaration, IFRA guidance, packaging and the finished product use case.
Fragrance families
Different fragrance families suit different product types and brand positions. Functional cleaners often need fresh, clean notes, while premium ranges may use more complex, layered profiles.

Bright, fresh and high-impact scents commonly used in cleaners, degreasers and kitchen products.
Floral
Soft, clean and recognisable fragrance profiles suited to home care and fabric care products.
Fresh
Clean, airy and modern notes for surface cleaners, interiors and everyday products.
