Freshen spaces with Cotton and Iris handcrafted candles and melts. Give your bath and body care creations a beautifully clean, floral scent.

This fragrance oil is infused with natural essential oils, including lemon peel.

We did experience a moderate amount of acceleration but no separation. The batter emulsified quickly and within seconds of stick blending reached a medium trace. After 24 hours, we observed glycerin rivers had formed in the bars and the soap had almost reached a full gel. The soap had a pale yellow color and the scent was strong and true to the out of the bottle character. After 30 days, the soap had discolored to a light yellow color and the scent was a little lighter but remained true. Due to the acceleration of the fragrance, it would be ideal to work at lower temperatures and hand stir in the fragrance after adding any desired colors.

I am so sad that this is no longer available. I use this in a cold process soap and it is one of my top sellers. I've tried Sunwashed and they do not except it as a substitute. If ever you consider bringing it back, we would be so grateful. Do you by any chance have something else that is similar that I could try? Sunwashed is not it. 😭

I'm so sad you are discontinuing this fragrance. I blend this with lavender for candles, room and linen sprays. My customers love it! Sunwashed doesn't appear to come close as an alternative. The notes are totally different; sounds fruity while Cotton and Iris is fresh and clean. Please consider bringing it back.

Thanks for your review, Rachel! If you're looking for another ozonic floral scent, we think Sunwashed would be a great choice.

Why did this one get discontinued??? We need a replacement for this exact fragrance! Sunwashed is ok, but it doesn't come close
