eugenia Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Fragrance oil is measured by weight. Heavier FO' s are more dense, weigh more, and generally smell stronger from the bottle. That's why we use weight as opposed to volume to measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well, now I see it differently. I see it more of a fragrance description - to me for example many woods and bakery scents are "heavy" - I guess thick and rich? And some florals can be heavy. Others are lighter, almost effervescent even. TO ME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I differentiate by saying whether the scent is heavy or the oil is heavy. A heavy oil is one to wick up on. A heavy scent is strong and/or headache-inducing for people overly sensitive to smells.With that in mind, I thought about starting a thread asking what FOs people have found heavy that they need to wick up on, and which are lighter so that our standard choices for wicks work. For example, 36-24-36 zinc wicks are working for me in IGI 4794 wax with some FOs, but I get better throw with bigger wicks in other FOs. Does anyone know if a thread like that already exists? I found this one while searching for that.Edit: found a thread like I was looking for: http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32069&highlight=heavyDarbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
