Sweater Weather

We all look forward to it: that sacred time of year when summer turns to autumn. Crisp mornings, shorter days, a plush oversized sweater and finally the chance to slow down and get lost in a well-worn book. This collection is an ode to the priceless luxury of doing absolutely nothing.

  • Seven oils, one day. A porch-side morning coffee to an evening at the fall fair.
  • Mostly gourmand, with one spiced chai and one autumn floral for range.
  • Three are rated for cold process — Snuggle Season, Off the Clock and Harvest Market Floral.

The collection

Morning to night, in the order the day goes.

Plan for vanilla

Six of these seven are cream-and-sugar gourmands, and vanillin is what makes them read as cosy. It is also what turns a white base cream, then tan. The spread across the collection is wide, so pick the oil for the colour you need, not just the scent.

Will brownCozy Carnival · Warm Mug~10% and 9.5% vanillin. Design in caramel, cocoa or latte tones, or use a stabilizer.
Will warmSnuggle Season · Harvest Market Floral · The Local CoffeehouseAbout 2–4%. A white base drifts to ivory over a few weeks.
Stays paleFall Retreat~1% vanillin, the best choice here for a white lotion or a clear soap.

Side by side

From each oil’s spec sheet and IFRA certificate. The body spray column is the IFRA ceiling; where it is under 5% it is lower than our Body Spray Base allows, and it is the number to formulate to.

Certificates: these are renamed oils, and six of the seven IFRA certificates still carry the original product name; the figures are unchanged. Off the Clock is certified under the 51st Amendment, the others under the 48th. See each product page for the full table, or the fragrance load reference for every base.
