Introducing the Rustic Fragrance Collection

Filed Under: Bramble Berry News

Introducing the Rustic Fragrance Collection! This collection includes four sophisticated fall inspired fragrance oils.
Believe it or not, now is the time to start planning projects for fall and the holiday season. If you are in need of project inspiration, the new Rustic Fragrance Collection is here to help! The collection includes four incredible fragrance oils: Cinnamon Sticks, Rustic Woods and Rum, Honey & Leather and Warm Flannel. Each fragrance oils is nuanced, sophisticated and perfect for the upcoming months. For a limited time, receive 2 ounces of each fragrance for under $15. Click here for more information.

I introduced these four fragrances LIVE on Thursday. I gave my color palette suggestions as well as related product ideas. You can watch that 28 minute video here. These four fragrance oils were chosen out of hundreds of fall scents. We tested each fragrance in several different batches of cold process soap, to make sure they are tried-and-true and didn’t perform poorly. We found that all of these fragrances behaved awesome in cold process soap, with only some mild acceleration. Read more about each fragrance oil below.

I was so inspired by these new fragrances that I created Pinterest boards for each, along with a custom color palette. You can find all the boards on my Pinterest page. If you make projects with these fragrances, I would love to see them. Share them on the Bramble Berry Facebook page and on Instagram with the hashtag #SoapShare. I can’t wait to see your projects!
