Almond fragrance oil
Almond Fragrance Oil is a synthetic or naturally blended aromatic compound designed to replicate the warm, sweet, and nutty scent of almonds. It may incorporate notes of marzipan, vanilla, or cherry-like tones to mimic the characteristic aroma of bitter almonds without the presence of cyanogenic compounds. Unlike essential oils, fragrance oils are created for consistent aroma performance and are widely used across cosmetics, personal care, household products, and scented formulations.
This versatile oil delivers a nostalgic, comforting scent often associated with desserts, cleanliness, and warmth. It is valued for its stability in soaps, lotions, candles, and air care products. Almond Fragrance Oil is typically formulated to be allergen-compliant and IFRA-certified for safe use across applications.
