Always weigh your fragrance oil with a scale rather than measuring it with a measuring spoon or cup because different oils can vary in volume.

To measure your fragrance ahead of time you'll want to use a glass container, or what we do in our lab is measure the fragrance just before we're ready to use it and use a wax-lined paper cup. They're disposable so clean up is quick and easy! 

  

Please note: Do not measure your fragrances in plastic containers or with plastic measuring cups, unless the plastic is HDPE, PET, or PP. Fragrances can react with many types of plastic and cause the plastic to break down.
