Aroma Bead FAQs – Fragrance & Crafting Guide

Whether you’re new to aroma beads or looking to perfect your craft, here’s everything you need to know about fragrance load, curing, coloring, and storage for maximum scent throw and long-lasting results.

What are aroma beads used for?

Aroma beads are perfect for making car air fresheners, scented sachets, drawer and closet fresheners, and decorative home fragrance crafts. They hold fragrance oil without creating a mess.

How much fragrance oil should I use?

We recommend using 1–2 ounces of fragrance oil per pound of aroma beads. Always check that your chosen fragrance is compatible with beads before mixing.

How long do aroma beads take to cure?

Curing typically takes 1–2 weeks depending on fragrance type and room temperature. Stir daily for even absorption.

Can I color aroma beads?

Yes! Use liquid candle dye or powder colorants to tint your beads. Add color before curing for the best results.

How should I store finished aroma beads?

Keep beads in airtight containers or sealed bags until ready to use to prevent scent loss.
