A dead-ringer for tangerine essential oil -- but with much better staying power. If you love orange and tangerine essential oils but have had trouble eking much fragrance out if them in soap and candles, give this a try.

Here's a terrific blend using Mandarin Orange fragrance:

Citrus Ice
3 parts Sweet Cakes Mandarin Orange Fragrance (or Sweet Cakes Clementine Fragrance)
1 part Sweet Cakes Icecap Fragrance

This citrus blend with a cool blast is great for hot summer days. It's truly a unisex blend -- men love it. It's a great blend for men's products if you want to get away from traditional woody, citrus, or designer-cologne blends. Talk about a "wake you up in the morning" shower!

Fruity, tropical, and sweet. Delightful on its own, or try blending it with our Raspberry, Mandarin Orange, or Fruity Vanilla fragrance oils.

Flashpoint: 170º F.

The perfect fusion of sweet island mango and black Ceylon tea, with suppporting notes of pineapple, clementines, vanilla bean, and white musk.

BOTTOM LINE: With two excellent mango fragrances already in our repertoire, we weren't looking for another but, this one was so good and so unusual that we couldn't pass it by. It has all the sweet, fruity irresistibility of mango, and the black tea notes add sophistication and complexity. Quite nice, and very unusual in a, "why didn't someone think of this sooner?" way.

Ohhhhhh, my -- words are inadequate to describe the splendors of this fragrance. A clean, masculine musk that somehow manages to be fresh and phenomenally sexy at the same time. We're a pretty hardened bunch around here, fragrance-evaluation-wise, but the ladies of Sweet Cakes went absolutely ga-ga passing the tiny sample bottle around. What sets this one apart? The topnote is accented with a little-known Indonesian essential oil called "jatamansi," which adds mystery to the blend, and bottom notes of sandalwood, patchouli, and amber boost its staying power. BOTTOM LINE: This is the fragrance oil your mother warned you about.

Our Masculine Musk fragrance, while extraordinary on its own, is also a terrific blend-enhancer. Try this understated but powerfully sexy blend:

Sensual Sandalwood
4 parts Sweet Cakes Sandalwood Fragrance
1 part Sweet Cakes Amber Fragrance
1 part Sweet Cakes Masculine Musk Fragrance

This blend is wonderful for both men and women -- for the romantic in us all. This blend is just asking to be added to bath oils, lotion, shampoo/shower gel, and soap (I found it to lose something in the translation in candles). If you're looking for something to add to your repertoire of romance fragrances beyond the typical floral fragrances, give this one a try. Don't have Masculine Musk on hand? Try substituting Sweet Cakes' Musk Fragrance -- the end result will be softer, though.

If you're looking for a fragrance so "sultry and sexy" that when you wear it you'll give JLo a "run for her money," give this one a try:

Midnight Oasis
2 parts Sweet Cakes Midnight in Tunisia Fragrance
1 part Sweet Cakes Masculine Musk Fragrance

As timeless as the moon over a desert oasis, as seductive as silk, Midnight Oasis is a must if you are looking for a truly unique, sexy, floral blend. Also try adding a half part of Sweet Cakes Amber fragrance for a softer, more sensual feel.

Merry top notes of juicy orange, red raspberry and cranberry lead to a yummy midsection of apple blossom, blackberry and strawberry finishing with a luscious base of blond woods and mistletoe. BOTTOM LINE:

Have a Merry Berry Holiday Season!

In a scene straight from a J. Peterman catalog, I stumbled upon this incredible fragrance in a small shop deep in the dusty bowels of the Tunisian medina while vacationing. I was forced to squat, dear reader, and negotiate for a small vial of this precious fluid, enlisting the aid of a passerby fluent in English, Arabic, and high-school French. He helped handle the lengthy negotiations necessary to bring the price of the bottle down by half (which bargaining, evidently, is de rigueur in Tunisia). The name on the bottle was written in Arabic, so before I bade my good-samaritan-of-translation good-bye, I asked him for the name of the fragrance. "Midnight in Ibn Abu Said," he told me. Ibn Abu Said was the name of the town in which this transaction took place, but as it's quite a mouthful, we offer this fragrance to you (reformulated to perform well in soap, of course) as "Midnight in Tunisia." WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE? This intoxicating blend begins with floral notes of Tunisian jasmine petals, tuberose, and lily of the valley. The body of the fragrance is a melody of sweet grapes and berries with rich clove oil from Madagascar and Tahitian vanilla. The drydown consists of Egyptian sandalwood and Virginian cedarwood.

NOTE: While it doesn't accelerate trace appreciably in cold-process soap tests on-premise, some customers have reported acceleration in their batches, so be on guard if you're making a large batch of CP soap and/or pouring into numerous molds.

If you're looking for a fragrance so "sultry and sexy" that when you wear it, you'll give JLo a "run for her money!":

Midnight Oasis
2 parts Sweet Cakes Midnight in Tunisia Fragrance
1 part Sweet Cakes Masculine Musk Fragrance

As timeless as the moon over a desert oasis, as seductive as silk, Midnight Oasis is a must if you are looking for a truly unique, sexy, floral blend. Also try adding a half part of Sweet Cakes Amber fragrance for a softer, more sensual feel.

The aroma of farm-fresh milk kissed with bottom notes of sweet honey, musk, and amber. Smoooooth and silky, with a wee touch of sexiness. BOTTOM LINE: Like a State Fair Dairy Princess in a bottle.

Flashpoint: 158º F.

This energized, fruity fragrance starts with luscious top notes of ripe blackberry, boysenberry, peach, lemon and raspberry. A floral middle is provided by jasmine and rose maroc, and white musk and real vanilla absolute make for a clean, sweet drydown. This fruity beauty was a big seller for Bath & Body Works last year, and now it's yours, yours, yours. May We Suggest: Saturate a cotton ball with Mistletoe Kiss fragrance and tuck it into the kissing ball you hang at the holidays (if you do that kind of thing) to delightfully scent the general environs and encourage better and more frequent lip contact.

A warm and spicy unisex fragrance that's sure to turn heads!

Subtle yet unignorable, this fragrance is amazing on its own and could also be blended with florals to make them spicier and more exotic. Top notes of black pepper and lemon lead to a spicy-floral middle of cumin, coriander, ginger, jasmine, and violet leaf, all atop a sweet, deep, long-lasting base of oakmoss, musk, amber, and patchouli. Luxurious, subtle, mysterious, and elegant!

This fragrance can be found the world over, tucked away in kitchens and guestrooms of five-star hotels and first-class cabins of airlines. That's because this complex citrus blend leaves skin and hair smelling and feeling really, really fresh and clean. We hope you'll give our version of this jet-setting favorite a try.

Bursting juices of orange come to life with energetic splashes of grapefruit. Blooming petals of orange flower and a hint of patchouli add depth and longevity to this beautiful creation.

Essential Oils used in this blend: Orange, Spearmint, Bitter Orange

Our take on an international fragrance boutique best-seller -- an uplifting and modern version of a classic floriental blend with a hint of pink pepper to add complexity and spice.

A voluptuous floral blend with the scent of a late spring Oriental garden. Rich and complex, this fragrance has notes of pink peony, lemon, rose, cassis, pink pepper, and a fresh watery accord all atop a sweet, long-lasting drydown of amber, sandalwood and vetiver.

Essential Oils contained in this fragrance: Geranium, Lemon, Vetiver
