Fragrance oil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fragrance oils, also known as aroma oils, aromatic oils, and flavor oils, are blended synthetic aroma compounds or natural essential oils that are diluted with a carrier like propylene glycol, vegetable oil, or mineral oil. Aromatic oils are used in perfumery, cosmetics, flavoring of food, and in aromatherapy.
Unlike essential oils, fragrance oils generally believed to be a less desirable ingredient when producing a scent that is unique to an individual.
