Product Notice, January 13, 2025:  This product has been discontinued due to low sales. If you're a fan of Persimmon Citron, we recommend trying Citron and Mandarin.

Welcome the New Year with a fragrance oil that symbolizes good luck and transformation, Persimmon Citron. Persimmons and other citrus fruits have a long history of significance in many different cultures. In China, persimmons are given as a symbol of good luck during the New Year. In Korea, and as part of Buddhism, persimmons represent transformation. In Western traditions, an orange was a luxurious, sought-after Christmas gift and remains a common stocking stuffer to this day. Our Persimmon Citron fragrance oil is a nod to this significant, symbolic fruit.

Citron, orange peel, tangerine, and peach compliment the persimmon’s unique citrus scent. This heady, bright fragrance is softened by a base of clove and bamboo. We recommend it year round for an upscale home fragrance in candles, melts and tarts, or use it in lotions, soaps, or bath scrubs.

This fragrance is infused with essential oils, including eucalyptus, palmarosa, clary sage, amyris, lemongrass, black pepper, galbanum, chamomile, and celery seed.

Blends well with: Very Vanilla, Mango and Coconut Milk, Citrus Agave, Cranberry Woods, Macintosh Apple

Alternative branding ideas: Ripe Persimmon, Persimmon and Tangerine

Suggested colors: Orange, Peach

We experienced excessive acceleration and no separation. This came to an emulsion slowly so we continued stick blending hoping to get a nice medium trace. Instead, we felt the dreaded bog of the stick blender that happens when the batter is about to become “soap on a stick”. We quickly removed the stick blender and tried to hand stir it to make sure there were no loose oils. The texture was like thick, mashed potatoes. We plopped the soap into the mold and gave it several hard tamps on the counter then used a spatula to smooth the top. After 24 hours we observed the soap bars almost reached a full gel, just the corners on the bottom were ungelled. The scent was very strong and the bars had discolored to a cream shade. After 30 days the scent was still strong and the bars became a light yellow color. It would be best to hand stir in the fragrance at a very light trace and plan to work quickly.

What?!
Lindsey 2025-02-08

I'm so shocked to see this has been discontinued as it's been a customer favorite for YEARS. It's such a warm yet feminine scent that I haven't seen anywhere else. I guess I need to stock up as much as I can now :(

Unique Scent
Christina 2025-01-29

I’m sad and disappointed that this is being discontinued. This is a unique scent of persimmons and tangerines that I need in my Asian inspired line. I feel it’s a complex, exotic citrus blend that sets it apart from the common citrus scents. It has also been a favorite amongst my customers and sold out during the holidays. After reading some reviews, I suppose the scent may have been hard for certain demographics to appreciate it like this Asian girl and her buyers of Asian candles does. Either way, sad to see it go. I hope the recommended is just as good or better.

A Must-Have—Sad to See It Go!
Dana 2025-01-25

I absolutely love Persimmon Citron! It’s such a unique, bright, and inviting fragrance that my customers kept coming back for. I’m truly disappointed to see it discontinued—it’s been a strong seller in my store for two winters, and I know my customers will miss it. CandleScience, please reconsider keeping this one around!

Discontinued?! WHY!!!?
Britt 2025-01-17

I am so disappointed that this is discontinued. This is one of my best sellers by far and has been a customer favorite for years. CandleScience should allow an option where limited batches of this still exist. Other citrus scents don't compare. I'm so shocked - this is going to genuinely hurt my business. I wish notice had gone out in advance of this being discontinued. It feels like the least CS could have done.
