Damask rose and gardenia carry the opening — lush, full, unmistakably funeral-flower — and underneath sits oakmoss and cedarwood doing the work a fougere base normally does: damp, green, faintly bitter, the smell of stone and overgrowth. The florals never quite escape it, and that tension is the whole scent. It is the technical opposite of RIP in the same collection. Where RIP is low-vanillin and easy in a white base, this one runs ~5% vanillin and will visibly warm a pale base over months. It is also rated not suitable for cold process soap or candles — not untested, tested and ruled out. Plan around that rather than discovering it in a batch. Formulator’s shorthand: the moodiest scent in the collection, and the one with the most constraints. Build it in leave-on products with a tinted or amber base and it is spectacular. Part of a collection Midnight Botanica Seven scents from a garden that only opens after dark — heavy florals, damp earth, and the things that grow over stone. Rose from the Dead is the dark heart of the set: the flowers, and the ground they were laid on.

The mossy base gets hours to develop. Lotions & Creams Rich enough to carry the oakmoss. Use a Vanilla Stabilizer, or start from a cream or tinted base. Melt & Pour Soap Melt & pour is fine even though cold process is not. Pour into an amber or black base and let it darken. ⚗ Behavior in base The four things that go wrong, and whether they will here Discoloration Expected — gradual ~5% vanillin. Vanillin oxidises in air and light, so a white base warms over months. A Vanilla Stabilizer holds it, or start from a cream, amber or tinted base. Flashpoint 200 °F / 93 °C High. Melt & pour poured at 140 °F leaves a wide margin, and the heavy base notes survive the heat. Cold process soap Not suitable Tested and ruled out, not merely untested. Do not substitute it into a CP recipe. Melt & pour is unaffected. Candles & wax Not suitable Formulated for skin, not wax. No burn testing performed. % How much to use Two different limits apply. Always use the lower one. Start here — your base sets the rate 0.3% to 5% That is the entire range across all 86 of our bases, and 40 of them cap at 1%. How much fragrance a product can carry is decided by the base, not by the oil. This is the number you formulate to. See every base and its load → The legal ceiling — not a target Certificate pending This fragrance is new to the line and its IFRA certificate is still being finalised. We are not publishing figures until it is issued — a ceiling we cannot certify is worse than no number at all. Base category Fragrance load Body Sprays & Mists up to 1%   — Body Spray Base up to 5% Salts, Fizzies & Bath Bombs up to 2% Body Scrubs & Polishes up to 2% Body Washes & Bubble Baths up to 1% Lotions, Creams & Butters up to 1% Hair Care up to 1% Body Oils up to 1% Melt & Pour Soap 0.3–1% Men’s Personal Care 0.5–1% Facial Formulations 0.3–0.6% 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. Always take the figure from the base product page you are actually using, or see the full reference table. One thing to expect. Oakmoss is among the more tightly restricted materials in the IFRA standards, so this oil’s certified ceilings are likely to sit lower than others in the collection.

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.
