Making the Diffuser

02-1.Measuring the Blending BasesPlace the 25ml glass beaker on the precision scale and tare it.For the *Fresh Christmas Tree Forest* concept, measure each base according to the formula below for a total of 20g.* Christmas Tree Base: 8g, Forest Base: 6g, Labdanum Base: 4g, Ambergris Base: 2gFor a standard 100ml diffuser, the typical ratio of fragrance to diffuser base is 3:1 (70g base, 30g fragrance).
For this blend, reflecting the character and concept of the scent, we use 80g of diffuser base and 20g of fragrance.

02-2. Measuring the Alcohol-Free Diffuser BasePlace a new 100ml glass beaker on the scale and tare it. Measure 80g of the alcohol-free diffuser base.
(Based on the Noel Diffuser Glass 100ml)
* Note: The specific gravity of diffuser bases and fragrance oils differs from that of water. This means the weight (g) will not match the milliliter (ml) volume. When measuring in grams, test one unit first and adjust the values as needed.

02-3.Mixing the Fragrance and Base (Maturing the Scent)Add the blended fragrance bases into the beaker containing 80g of alcohol-free diffuser base.Blend gently but thoroughly for about one minute using a glass rod.
02-4.Final AssemblyUsing a mini funnel, pour the finished mixture into the Noel Diffuser Glass 100ml container.
When using the completed diffuser, trim the fiber sticks to match the height of the container.

Blending Concept: #2. Sweet & Warm Spiced Aroma
Applicator: Container Candle
A rich blend of saffron’s spicy brightness and the deep, boozy warmth of rum unfolds into a soft vanilla tone created by honey and labdanum. The result is a warm, sensual mood. As the candle burns, creamy vanilla notes gradually fill the space, wrapping the room in a calm, stable ambiance reminiscent of whiskey aging quietly in an oak barrel.

01-1. Preparing the Materials

Blending Basesㅣ
Saffron Base, Honey Base, Rum Base, Labdanum Base

Candle-Making Components ㅣ

Golden Wax 464 (container soy wax), 8.5oz Clear French Glass + Rose Gold Metal Lid, Red Oil-Soluble Liquid Dye,Smokeless/White Cotton Wick No. 4

Basic Tools for Candle Makingㅣ

0.01g / 500g Precision Scale, Glass Stirring Rod, 450ml Stainless Steel Pouring Pitcher, Single-Burner Electric Hot Plate,

02

Making the Container Candle

02-1. Measuring and Melting the Soy WaxPlace the 450ml stainless steel pouring pitcher on the precision scale (0.01g/500g) and tare it.
Measure 180g of soy wax, the amount required for an 8.5oz clear French glass container.
Set the pitcher on the hot plate and melt the wax completely.

02-2. Preparing the ContainerOnce the wax is fully melted, move the pitcher to a heat-safe surface and let it cool slightly.
While the wax cools, clean the inside of the container and attach the wick at the center using a wick sticker.

02-3. Measuring the Blending Bases Place the 25ml glass beaker on the scale and tare it.
For the Sweet & Warm Spiced Aroma concept, measure the bases below for a total of 18g(applying a 10% fragrance load for 180g of wax in an 8.5oz container)
Saffron Base: 4.5g, Honey Base: 6.3g, Rum Base: 3.6g, Labdanum Base: 3.6g

02-4. Combining the Wax and FragranceWhen the wax cools to 55–60°C, add the blended bases and stir gently for about one minute until evenly incorporated.

02-5. Pouring the Wax and Setting the WickSlowly pour the wax (55–60°C) into the prepared container. For a smoother surface, use a two-pour technique, dividing the wax into two pours. Once the candle is fully set, trim the wick to 3–4mm above the surface using wick trimmers.

Blending Concept: #3. Cozy & Clean Winter Linen Mood
Applicator: Fabric Mist
A crisp linen accord is softened with delicate skin and white tea nuances, while a subtle touch of saffron adds gentle warmth. When crafted as a fabric mist, this blend settles into textiles with a soft, clean presence bringing a comforting, cozy clarity to the air even in the chill of winter.

Blending Basesㅣ

Linen Base, Skin Base, White Tea Base, Saffron Base

Fabric Mist Components ㅣ

Fabric Mist Base, Castor Liquid (solubilizer), PISA Clear 100

Basic Tools for Fabric Mistㅣ

250ml Glass Beaker, Precision Scale (0.01g/500g), Glass Rod

02

Making the Fabric Mist

02-1. Measuring the Blending BasesPlace a 250ml glass beaker on the precision scale and tare it. For the 'Cozy & Clean Winter Linen Mood' concept, measure the bases below to reach a total of 3g. (For fabric mists applied directly to textiles like pillows or bedding,
a fragrance load of 2–3% is recommended. This DIY guide uses 3% for a 100ml container.)

Linen Base: 1.2g, Skin Base: 0.75g, White Tea Base: 0.6g, Saffron Base: 0.45g

02-2. Measuring the Solubilizer (Liquid Carrier)A 1:1 or 1:2 ratio of fragrance oil to solubilizer is recommended. For a 3% fragrance load, measure 3g of solubilizer to match the fragrance amount, and mix thoroughly with the blending bases using a glass rod.

* What is a solubilizer?
A solubilizer is an emulsifier used to disperse small amounts of oil into a water-based formula. Castor Liquid is convenient because it is liquid at room temperature. Since solubilizer behavior varies depending on oil properties (hydrophilic, non-polar, etc.), different oils may emulsify differently. If mixing is incomplete, try another solubilizer. Always test small amounts, especially with natural ingredients.

02-3. Measuring the Fabric Mist BaseMeasure 98g of fabric mist base (for a 100ml container, excluding fragrance).
*Note: The density of the fabric mist base and oils differs from water, so grams do not directly match milliliters. Test one batch to adjust measurements as needed.
02-4. Pour the mixture into the container to completeMix the fragrance and fabric mist base thoroughly, checking for any separation. (Even with proper emulsification, the solution may appear slightly cloudy due to oil properties. If no layers separate, it is fine to use. For a clear emulsion, pre-mix the blending base oils with a small amount of solubilizer before adding to the fabric mist base.)
Pour the prepared solution into the PISA Clear 100 bottle to complete the fabric mist.

02-1. Measuring the WaxMeasure 80g of CW New Soy PB (for pillar) wax for one 6-cavity plastic tart shell and melt it.

02-2. Coloring the WaxWhen the wax reaches approximately 80°C, use the multi-purpose metal pick to add small amounts of Golden Honey oil-soluble liquid dye. Adjust until the desired color is achieved.
02-3. Measuring the Blending BasesPlace a 25ml glass beaker on the scale and tare it. For the 'Sweet Winter Scent Like Marron Dessert' concept, measure the following bases for a total of 8g (applying a 10% fragrance load for 80g of wax per tart shell)
