ORANGE Fragrance Oil 50 ml

From the Servus workshop: what it is

ORANGE #EU22769F is a liquid fragrance oil from the citrus family, made by French Color & Fragrance International GmbH (Germany), in a 50 ml bottle. Read from the composition, it isn't a dry orange, all peel, but a warm one: orange oil (8.7–17.4%) and aldehyde C-10 give the peel, cinnamaldehyde — the cinnamon note, at 5.2–10.4% — and eugenol give it the warmth of spice, vanillin rounds it off, and the musk and the salicylates settle it. Lemongrass and Litsea cubeba add a lemony edge.

Sînziana says: “Orange isn't a dry orange — it has cinnamon in it, that's why it smells warm. I say two things every time: it has ‘Danger’ on the label, so the bottle is kept closed, away from children, and it is never poured into a drinks container. And the temperature: I add the fragrance at the temperature on the wax's data sheet, with the pot off the heat. The flash point, 75 degrees, is the safety figure for handling, not the fragrance-adding temperature.”

Behaviour in production

It has “Danger” on the label, not “Warning”. It comes from H304: if it is swallowed and gets into the airways, it may be fatal. It isn't a problem in normal use — it's a storage rule. The bottle stays closed, in its original packaging, within reach of adults only, and is never decanted into a drinks container. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting; call a poison centre or a doctor immediately.

It goes in at the fragrance-adding temperature on the wax's data sheet. The flash point on the data sheet is 75 °C: it is safety information for handling, not the fragrance-adding temperature. The temperature comes from your wax's data sheet, and you read it on the thermometer, not by eye.

The cinnamon is the part that calls for gloves. Cinnamaldehyde is at 5.2–10.4% of the composition, and the data sheet classifies the mixture as irritating to skin and eyes (H315, H319) and as a skin sensitiser (H317). You weigh it wearing gloves and safety glasses, and if it gets on your skin you wash with plenty of water.

It doesn't go down the sink. The data sheet gives it H411 — toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Leftovers, cloths and empty containers go to a collection point, not down the drain.

With a new batch, test before the big production run. Note the batch number on the label, the wax, the percentage, the wick and the container, then compare on a small piece, on your final recipe.

Dosage by application: how you build a collection

With the same scent you make a candle, soap, room spray, diffuser or cream — but each product has its own ceiling from the scent's IFRA certificate (Amendment 51, issued 21 June 2026):

The label for your reed diffuser with Orange, on a Diffusol M base, you get from the calculator.

(The figures are rounded down, to two decimal places; the certificate gives them to eight. A safety limit is never rounded up.)

Read it like this: in a candle, the wax stops you, not the certificate. In soap and in the reed diffuser you stop at 4.69%, in a room spray you have room up to 17.24%. In creams and on the face, on the other hand, the ceilings drop below 1%: 0.61% in creams, 0.40% in face cream.

Candles: the real ceiling comes from your wax's data sheet. In our formulas: 6–8% in containers, 5–6% in moulds, 4–6% in figurines, and the first scented candle starts from 5%. Weighed, not counted in drops — the density is ≈ 0.93, so 50 ml ≈ 46.5 g, which is enough for about 775 g of wax at 6%. Added at the fragrance-adding temperature on the wax's data sheet, stirred slowly for a minute or two.

Soap and cosmetics: keep to the ceiling of the exact category in the table. For soap the ceiling is 4.69%; in the workshop we work at 1–3%. For your product's label, the scent's allergen report is under Download, on this page — on the extended list, with orange oil, limonene and cinnamaldehyde at the top.

A complete system — what you pour together with the scent: for candles, container wax or wax for moulds, the right wick and liquid dye. For soap: cosmetic bases and soap colourant. For volumes and stock continuity, Servus Club.

Stated limits

It is NOT for lips, toys, toothpaste or mouthwash — IFRA restricts it to 0% (Cat 1 and Cat 6).

It is NEVER decanted into drinks bottles or unmarked containers — the label carries “Danger” and H304, an aspiration hazard. It stays in its original packaging, closed, within reach of adults only.

The flash point is NOT to be confused with the fragrance-adding temperature — 75 °C is the safety figure on the data sheet; you add the fragrance at the temperature on the wax's data sheet, with the pot off the heat.

It is NOT the scent for creams, deodorants or the baby line — the ceilings are 0.61%, 0.13% and 0.13%, below what makes sense in a recipe.

It is NOT natural orange and NOT an essential oil — it is a perfumery composition, with orange oil, lemongrass and Litsea cubeba in the formula, plus synthetic cinnamon (cinnamaldehyde).

How to read IFRA limits in practice: IFRA fragrances for candles — how much you're allowed vs. how it burns. How much to add, when to add it and why sometimes you can't smell it: fragrance oil for candles.

What to check on your recipe: how strongly it comes through cold and when burning in your wax, at your percentage · whether it changes the shade of white wax (the liquid is pale yellow to amber) · the wick on your diameter at the final percentage. Before the big production run, a small piece.

Technical properties

Behaviour per recipe (how strongly it comes through in each wax, the final shade) is set by testing — it isn't on the data sheet.

Step-by-step guide

1. Check the IFRA limit for your application (the table above) — for the reed diffuser, 4.69%; in creams and on the face, below 1%.
2. Weigh it, wearing gloves: 50 ml ≈ 46.5 g. At low percentages, the scale beats the measuring cup.
3. For candles, add it at the fragrance-adding temperature on the wax's data sheet, with the pot off the heat, and stir slowly for a minute or two.
4. For soap, download the allergen report and write the label from it.
5. Test small — one piece on the final recipe, judged after two days: the scent cold, when burning, the colour.
