Fragrance stability testing is the process of ensuring that a fragrance continues to smell, perform and remain safe throughout a product's intended shelf life. It's a critical step because a fragrance that smells perfect in the lab can change once it's mixed into a shampoo, lotion, detergent, candle or cleaning product.

Each fragrance can contain many individual aroma chemicals, each with different characteristics. Once this scent is blended into a product, many different factors can alter how the fragrance smells over time.

But, what does this mean for your product?

Does the fragrance smell the same after weeks/months, or do certain notes fade or become stronger?

Do the fragrance ingredients react with the product's formula?

Does the fragrance cause the product to yellow, darken, or discolour over time?

Does the fragrance still provide the desired scent intensity during use?

Every single fragrance we create is date-stamped and often formulated with your product application in mind. This ensures that the fragrance you receive is ready and suitable for you to complete your own manufacturing stability tests.

We know from experience that creating the right fragrance often involves multiple rounds of reformulation and testing before a product finally reaches the consumer, and we are ready and able to support your development process.

Good news and Bad news!

Bad news, Summer is ending 😔
Good news, Cosy Candle Season is Coming!🕯️

Did you know: Around 45% of all annual UK candle sales happen between October–December, making Autumn the busiest period for candle buying!

In 2020, UK consumers spent £418m on scented candles, and the market has continued to grow since then. In fact, the candle industry is expected to grow at an annual growth rate of 9.4%.

So we thought we'd take a look at the Candle Trends coming in Winter 2026.

🍧 Creamy Gourmands
Gourmands have, without doubt, been the talk of the perfumery world in 2026. Fine fragrance has gone mad for them. Home fragrance is now ready to get in on the act. No surprises here that the likes of vanilla, pistachio and salted caramel will be dominating these fragrance directions. One trend we are predicting is inspired by the UK's favourite summer treat, Ice Cream. Vanilla paired with strawberry, chcocolate or honeycomb. Just because summer has left us doesn't mean summer scents should.

🌿 Going Green
Continuing the theme of summer blues, many of us will still be clinging to those fresh, spring and summer notes. So, as we close our doors on the winter weather, we will look for ways to bring the outside in. Think rosemary, herbs, moss, fig and fresh green notes. Fresh, herbaceous and earthy. There may, however, be some unexpected guests in the form of sumptuous savoury scents like tomato leaf, carrot and thyme.

✈️ Destination Unknown
Candles are a key part of setting the vibe or aesthetic for a room. We've recently written an article about scent-scaping and how people are aligning their room aesthetic to the scent in the room. As a result, we are seeing more and more requests from people wishing to recreate a scent built around a place, a time, or a feeling. Want to recreate a sun-drenched evening on the coast of Greece or the breathtaking scenery of the Alps? There's a candle scent for that.

🌿🌹Trees & Blooms — Warm, sophisticated scents have always been popular with candle makers and users alike. Cosy, luxurious and reassuring. Sandalwood, cedarwood, oud and vetiver continue to be popular, especially when blended with softer notes such as vanilla, amber, musk and bergamot. We are, however, seeing a shift towards more balanced combinations that feel warm, calming and modern. Think Sandalwood & Vanilla, Hinoki & Green Tea, Oud & Rose and Teakwood & Musk.

The best products aren't always the ones you simply buy - Sometimes they're the ones you build.

There's a concept in psychology called the IKEA effect. The logic behind it is that we place more value on things we've had a hand in creating.

Now this theory can be applied to all things, not just a Billy Bookcase.

Whether it be cake, redecorating, or creating a fragrance, all appear greater in value when you have been first-hand involved in the process.

By working alongside our perfumers and evaluators, gaining greater knowledge about how a fragrance is created and being a critical part of the development process means that your final fragrance creates a deeper more meaningful story for you, your brand and your customer.

Every decision, every iteration, every note becomes part of the story.

The result isn't just another fragrance.

It's your fragrance and it's one you helped bring to life.

That's why creating fragrances in partnership with our customers is such a vital part of what we do.

Tomorrow is National Relaxation Day (August 15th), a day to encourage people to slow down, unwind and reduce stress.

With this in mind, one trend keeps re-emerging over and over again. Functional Fragrances

The connection between wellness and functional fragrances has been long discussed, with fragrance holding the power to influence our mood, concentration, memory, and other emotional responses.

These next-generation scents are designed to support emotional wellbeing by combining fragrance with neuroscience-backed ingredients that may help promote relaxation, improve focus, or elevate mood.

But what IS new for the Functional Fragrance Trend, are the scent directions this trend is taking.

Instead of traditional lavender and chamomile, we are seeing all sorts of nuances around the wellbeing concept.

From superfoods and veggies to herbaceous and tea-inspired scents.

These mood-focused fragrances aim to support relaxation, clarity, or energy.

As consumers continue to prioritise mental wellbeing, fragrance is evolving beyond a luxury purchase into a purposeful wellness tool—helping transform everyday moments into opportunities to reset, unwind, and reconnect.

Today is Play in the Sand Day 🏖️

And as the heatwaves continue, requests for summer, solar, and sandy fragrances continue to gain in popularity. But does sand actually smell of anything?

The answer is no. Sand itself barely has a smell. That classic “beach smell” comes from everything around it: salty seawater, seaweed and other ozonic-type scents. And don't forget the smell of sun creams, which immediately conjure memories of being at the beach.

We've recently been researching scent trends in the suncare market.

The sun care market is evolving beyond traditional sun screen, with consumers increasingly looking for products that combine effective UV protection with skincare benefits, lightweight textures and luxurious sensory experiences.

Fragrance is becoming an important part of this shift, moving from classic coconut and vanilla scents towards more sophisticated directions such as citrus, marine, solar florals, fresh fig and soft skin scents. As sun care becomes an everyday beauty ritual, brands are using fragrance to create feelings of wellness, escape and premium self-care.

New EU Fragrance Allergen Rules: Is Your Cosmetic Formulation Ready?

The updated EU fragrance allergen regulations are now in force (from the 31st July) but what does this mean for you and your products?

For many personal care product creators, this means that the expanded list of fragrance allergens must now be declared on cosmetic labels. This can range from 24 to approximately 80 ingredients.

The rules apply to leave-on and rinse-off products, including skincare, haircare, body care, and products containing essential oils. For many manufacturers, this is more than a labeling change. It requires careful ingredient selection, supplier documentation, and regulatory compliance to ensure products remain market-ready across multiple regions.

The UK government has opted out of the new regulations; however, our allergen-free formulations will comply with the expanded list of 82 allergen materials.

By formulating to the latest international standards, we help future-proof your products and support sales beyond the UK, including in the EU and other global markets that adopt similar regulations.

As cosmetic regulations continue to evolve, designing products with global compliance in mind has never been more important.

Last month, our Head Perfumer, Luke, had the pleasure of presenting "The Evolution of Fragrance: From Identity to Wellness" to an engaged audience in Vietnam. 🌿

The presentation explored how fragrance has evolved.

Luke highlighted the transition of fragrance from its religious roots, through to its connection with cleanliness and sophistication, to now being used as a tool for wellbeing, emotional health, and self-care.

A number of scents were presented to the attendees to demonstrate how scent can influence mood, memory and daily routines.

The Highlights include:

- 💭 The presentation touched on the "Proust Effect" which explains how scents can trigger powerful memories and emotions.

- 🍛 We also introduced some unique fragrances like Mango Rice, Incense and Matcha Scoop, which were chosen specifically to trigger memories and associations for the Vietnamese attendees.

- 🍬We also took a look at some modern research around functional fragrances created to help with mindfulness. New research suggests that peppermint may help improve focus and alertness.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such an engaging discussion. We look forward to continuing the conversation and exploring the future of fragrance together.

Thank you to The Myth for inviting us to present.
