IFRA is the acronym for the International Fragrance Association, a trade organization that develops guidelines for the safe use of fragrance ingredients. IFRA has developed a set of standards, known as the IFRA Standards, which regulate the use of flavoring ingredients in a variety of consumer products. IFRA Premium Fragrance is an IFRA compliant fragrance. This means that the flavoring ingredients used in these fragrances are safe to use in consumer products and have been rigorously tested for potential health risks. IFRA standards cover a wide range of fragrance ingredients and are regularly updated to reflect new scientific information and developments in the fragrance industry.
In summary, synthetic fragrance oils are artificially made fragrances and IFRA premium fragrances are fragrances that meet the IFRA Standard for the Safe Use of Fragrance Ingredients in Consumer Products.
Aroma oil Wheel is a tool used to classify different aromas and fragrances based on their characteristics. Wheels are generally divided into four main categories or “base notes”: floral, oriental, woody and fresh. Each of these bases is then broken down into different sub-categories or flavor families. Here is a breakdown of the Aroma oil Incense Wheel and its different base notes:
Floral Base: This base includes floral scents such as jasmine, rose, and lavender. Floral base note subcategories include Floral, Sweet Floral, Oriental Floral, and Fruity.
Oriental Base: This base includes spices derived from spices, incense and resins such as cinnamon, vanilla and frankincense. Oriental base subcategories include soft orientals, woody orientals, and floral orientals.
Woody Base: This base includes notes derived from wood and other earthy materials such as sandalwood, cedar and patchouli. Woody base note subcategories include mossy wood, dry wood, aromatic wood, and oriental wood.
Fresh Base: This base includes scents derived from fresh, citrus and aquatic notes such as lemon, lime and ocean. Subcategories of cool base notes include citrus, green, watery, and fruity. To use scented oil incense wheels, first identify the main category or fragrance base you wish to classify. Then search for a sub-category or fragrance line that matches the fragrance profile.
It can help you identify and compare different flavors more easily and efficiently. The Essential Oil Incense Wheel is a tool that helps you identify and blend different scents and aromas into your essential oil creations. Here are some general guidelines for using an essential oil incense wheel:
Start with the basics: Start by identifying the main categories of aromas, usually citrus, floral, woody, spicy, and herbal. You can then categorize each of these main categories into more specific subcategories.
Choose your flavour: Once you have identified the main category, choose the flavor you wish to use. It can be a single flavor or a combination of flavors.
Find scents on the incense wheel: Using the incense wheel, find the scents of your choice and note where they land on the incense wheel. This will give you an idea of which flavors complement each other and which flavors can collide.
Create Your Blend: Use your knowledge of the different flavor categories and their placement on the wheel to create your blend. You can start with equal parts of each flavor and adjust as needed.
Test and tweak: Test your blend by diffusing it or using it in personal care products. If necessary, adjust the mixture by adding more or less of certain flavors until the desired aroma is achieved.
Remember that the scent wheel is just a tool and ultimately scent preference is subjective. Experiment and enjoy your essential oil creations!
