There are just some scents that can not be captured through steam distillation, enfleurage or pressing. Many plants, such as this exquisite bird of paradise, actually have no scent whatsoever, though they evoke thoughts of wild, tropical florals. That's where fragrance oils come in -- when we can't find the scent we want in nature, we turn to fragrances for the answer.
How are fragrance oils made and why should we use them?
By blending aroma chemotypes and natural plant extracts (essential oils), Snowdrift Farm creates a unique line of fragrance oils. Some scents are just not extractable from plants, such as strawberry and cucumber, and so we must turn to synthetic materials. Other scents, such as rose, are very costly. We use aroma chemotypes to mimic these fine scents. Snowdrift Farm specializes in fine fragrance oil duplications. You can count on us to bring you oils that aren't available anywhere else.
Our line of fragrances is ever-expanding; some, like our limited editions, may only be available seasonally. If you'd like us to locate a scent for you that's not currently on the list, send us an email, and we'll see if we can find it.
We recommend using .25 oz. of fragrance oil per pound of melt & pour glycerin or cold process soap mix. Our fragrance oils are 100% cold process and melt & pour soap safe, and may be used in cosmetic, body care, potpourri and other home fragrance applications.
I first sniffed Malachite from a paper blotter inserted into a Banana Republic/Gap catalogue, I tried to put the blotter down,
but found it nearly impossible to do so. This scent is highly intoxicating without ever becoming overwhelming.
Intuitively blended with top notes of hyacinth, bamboo, neroli blossom, peony and water lily, a soothing middle of
lotus blossom, rosewater, and sweet bottom of sandalwood, musk and white amber, this lovely scent is sure to become a classic.

Ofresia
by Diptyque type
It was love at first waft, when we discovered Ofresia by Diptyque at an outing to Aedes a few years ago. As soon as the scent escaped from the bottle, I knew I was a goner. Delicate and dewlike, Ofresia opens fresh and green, but succumbs to its sweet, freesia and lilac-laced middle and lightly smokey, peppery-woody drydown.
