How do I choose the right fragrance oil concentration for my needs?
Selecting the right fragrance oil concentration depends on your intended use and personal preferences. For personal care products like lotions, creams, or body oils, a concentration of 1–3% is usually sufficient. For perfumes, colognes, or body sprays, concentrations can range from 10–30%. For home fragrance products like candles, diffusers, or room sprays, the concentration needed varies by product type. Candles typically require 6–10% fragrance oil, while reed diffusers might use 15–25% to effectively disperse scent throughout a space. The size of the room and the strength of the fragrance you desire should also guide your choice. Always refer to product guidelines or conduct a small test to ensure you’re using the correct amount for your needs.
