Pan Dulce Fragrance Oil

A panadería at seven in the morning. Warm butter and toasted flour first, then vanilla sugar and the faint orange-blossom note that runs through most conchas and pan de muerto. It is sweet, but it is bakery sweet — there is a doughy, slightly savoury middle that keeps it from collapsing into candy.

This is the most vanillin-heavy of the five original oils at 2.5–10%, so discoloration is not a risk to manage but a certainty to design around: expect a white base to go tan and then brown. In exchange you get the highest rinse-off ceiling in the set at 15%, and a flashpoint of 200 °F that gives more room than anything else here.

The percentages below are regulatory ceilings, not recommendations. Most finished products sit well under them — please follow the usage rate recommendations on each base.

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.
