Straight from the Pint Fragrance Oil
We have all done it, no judgement. No bowl, no spoon, no self control, just peppermint ice cream with flakes of dark chocolate. It smells so close to the real thing you may just be compelled to reach for a pint.
Description
Straight from the Pint Fragrance Oil
What it smells like and what it does in a base
No bowl, no spoon, no self control. Cold peppermint ice cream with flakes of dark chocolate through it, eaten standing at the freezer door. The mint is the sweet creamy kind rather than anything sharp or medicinal, and the chocolate reads as dark and slightly bitter against it.
For the formulator it is the outlier of the collection and the most forgiving of the seven. The IFRA ceilings are generous enough that your base is the limit almost everywhere, it holds in cold process, and the mint gives you a cool top note that nothing else in the set has. The cost is colour: at 7% vanillin this is the second-highest in the collection and a white base will not stay white.
Guilty Pleasures
A fall and winter collection with no pumpkin, no spiced leaf and no cider stand — built on sugar, dairy and fried dough instead. Straight from the Pint is the cold one: the only mint in the set, and the only thing here that does not smell like it came out of an oven.
Scent architecture
How the fragrance unfolds — use this to write your own product copy
The only mint-family oil in the collection, which makes it the natural contrast piece in a gift set — six warm bakery scents and one cold one reads as deliberate. It also carries straight through into the December and Valentine's end of the season.

Category maxima across our 86 bases. Facial and tear-free versions sit lower than the body version of the same base, and five of our sulfate-free bases specify a different load for vanillin-containing fragrances — which this is. Always take the figure from the base product page you are actually using, or see the full reference table.

Certified by Essentials by Catalina, Inc. under the 48th Amendment of the IFRA safety guidelines. The 48th uses eleven numbered classes; the 51st Amendment splits several of them into 5A–5D, 7A/7B, 10A/10B and 11A/11B and adds Category 12 for candles. Figures do not map one-to-one between the two, so do not compare this table against a 51st Amendment certificate row by row.

Pure & undiluted
Why our oils behave differently from most
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.

Pure & Undiluted
While other suppliers may offer different grades of Fragrance Oils that may be diluted or cut with carrier oils, at Essentials by Catalina we only offer concentrated, pure and undiluted Cosmetic Grade Fragrance Oils. Working with concentrated Fragrance Oils such as these reduces the need for high fragrance loads. A little goes a long way. For recommended fragrance loads please see the "Customization" tabs or consult the fragrance or essential oils IFRA document.
