Clean Cotton
The just-washed-laundry smell, in a jar.
What does Clean Cotton smell like?
Soft cotton and line-dried linen over a white floral lift, with a clean musk base so it lingers after the flame is out. A bright bergamot top makes it inviting before you even light it. Universally liked and never sweet — the scent that makes a room read as tidy.
What's in it
The fragrance blend, by percentage of the blend — the same formula as Clean Cotton Candle Fragrance Recipe.
-
Cotton / clean fragrance oil 50%the soft, fresh-laundry core
-
Fresh linen fragrance oil 20%the airy, line-dried quality
-
White floral (lily or muguet) fragrance oil 15%a delicate floral lift
-
White musk fragrance oil 10%a soft base so it lingers
-
Bergamot fragrance oil 5%clean citrus sparkle on top
Both numbers come straight out of our published usage-rate table — the same table we tell everyone else to work from. The hard ceiling for any specific oil is that oil's own IFRA certificate, and where the certificate is lower, the certificate wins.
Safety — Not a skin product
- ·Never apply to skin. This is a candle fragrance load, several times the amount allowed in anything worn on the body.
- ·Burn on a heat-resistant surface, away from draughts, curtains, and anything that catches. Never leave a burning candle unattended or near children or pets.
- ·Trim the wick to about 5 mm before every light. A long wick soots, smells worse, and burns hotter than the jar is designed for.
- ·Keep burns to about four hours and stop when roughly 10 mm of wax is left — below that the jar can overheat and crack.
What has to be done before this can legally be sold
Fragrance oils are classified under CLP for flammability and skin sensitisation. The finished candle carries the CLP label, allergen list, and the safety warnings for the format — none of which exists yet, because nothing has been produced.
This is on the page rather than in a drawer because it is the honest reason there is a waitlist instead of a buy button.
