La Llorona Fragrance Oil

A white floral that has been left outdoors. Gardenia and tuberose carry the opening alongside wild chamomile and honey, but the whole thing is anchored in oakmoss and vanilla tobacco — so the floral never reads as clean or fresh. It sits somewhere between a perfume and a riverbank, which is exactly the intent.

It is the most demanding oil in the collection to formulate with. At roughly 9% vanillin it will darken a pale product markedly, and unlike most of the range this one is explicitly not suitable for cold process soap — that is a stated incompatibility, not an untested unknown. Flashpoint is a comfortable 200 °F.

This fragrance is new to the line and its IFRA certificate is still being finalised. We are not publishing usage percentages until it is issued — a ceiling we cannot certify is worse than no number at all.

Many suppliers sell fragrance oils cut with carrier oils or diluents to reduce cost. Ours are concentrated, pure, undiluted and cosmetic grade. A concentrated oil means a lower fragrance load per batch — a little goes a long way, and your cost per unit drops even when the per-ounce price does not.

Product compatibility is not the responsibility of Essentials By Catalina, Inc. We strongly advise sampling before committing to larger quantities so you can evaluate performance, compatibility and safety in your own formulation. Keep all products out of children's reach.
