A Wedding Client Wants 250 Candles in One Fragrance and 250 in Another — How Do I Plan Separate Fragrance Quantities While Purchasing Wax Together?
Share
What does it cost, line by line? Pearl 2 × 50 kg ₹42,480.00; Japanese Cherry Blossom ₹21,138.00; Bergamot Amber ₹23,704.00; Eco C2 ₹5,192.00; care stickers ₹699.00: ₹93,213.00, ₹186.43 a candle before your jars, labels, labour, freight and GST. Scent A carries ₹181.29 a candle and scent B ₹191.56, because the oils differ in price.
Does buying the wax together save money? Not per kilo at CSI: Pearl is ₹424.80 from 5 kg to 50 kg. It saves rounding twice, keeps one wax lot across both scents if we can confirm it, and means a change of split moves only the oils.
How do I stop the two scents getting mixed up? Pour one scent completely before the other, mark every tray and every jar base at the moment of pouring, label each candle before it leaves the cooling rack, and reconcile counts per scent: 267 poured, 250 delivered, each.

Your order as numbers
The title gives 250 candles in one fragrance and 250 in another; those are your figures. Size, load and oils are labelled worked examples: a 200 g candle at 8% (the series default when a title gives none), Japanese Cherry Blossom as scent A and Bergamot Amber as scent B, poured in Natural Soy Pearl Wax in your own 200 g jar. A CSI 200 ml jar does not hold 200 g of wax (why a 200 ml jar is not a 200 g jar); if you are choosing a jar, weigh a test pour first.
| Input | Scent A | Scent B | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Candles | 250 (your figure) | 250 (your figure) | 500 |
| Fill and load | 200 g at 8% | 200 g at 8% | 16 g oil + 184 g wax each |
| Bare requirement | 4 kg oil · 46 kg wax | 4 kg oil · 46 kg wax | 100 kg mix |
| Planned extras | 6 | 6 | 12 (2 planner samples, 2 QC burns, 2 retains per scent) |
| Pours at 4% rejects | 267 | 267 | 534 |
| Mix incl. 1% heel | 53.934 kg | 53.934 kg | 107.87 kg |
| Oil (incl. 30 g reference) | 4,344.72 g | 4,344.72 g | two separate purchases |
| Wax | 49.62 kg | 49.62 kg | 99.24 kg, one purchase |
| Oil page’s stated candle load | "6-13% for candles" | "6-10% for soy wax candles" | 8% is inside both |
The extras and reject buffer sit inside each scent because a reject in scent A can only be replaced by a scent A pour. That is why the order needs 17 pours per scent beyond the 250 delivered. If you have not yet proven both scents in your jar with your wick, the test stage comes first: the hub’s wedding test sequence.
The purchase sheet: shared lines and per-scent lines
| Line | Shared or per scent | Required (500) | + Extras (12) | + Loss buffer | Need | CSI packs | ₹ | Left over |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Natural Soy Pearl Wax | shared | 92 kg | 2.21 kg | 22 pours + 1% heel = 5.03 kg | 99.24 kg | 2 × 50 kg | ₹42,480.00 | 0.76 kg, reusable |
| Japanese Cherry Blossom | scent A | 4,000 g | 96 g + 30 g reference | 176 g + 42.72 g heel | 4,344.72 g | 4 × 1 kg + 3 × 100 g + 50 g | ₹21,138.00 | 5.28 g |
| Bergamot Amber | scent B | 4,000 g | 96 g + 30 g reference | 176 g + 42.72 g heel | 4,344.72 g | 8 × 500 g + 3 × 100 g + 50 g | ₹23,704.00 | 5.28 g |
| Eco C2 wicks | shared | 500 | 12 | 22 + 11 placement | 545 | 500 + 50 | ₹5,192.00 | 5 |
| Candle Care Stickers | shared | 500 | none (after QC) | 5 spare | 505 | 1 × Pack of 1000 | ₹699.00 | 495 |
| Final CSI order (excludes your jars, scent labels, boxes, labour, freight and GST) | ₹93,213.00 | ₹186.43 a candle | ||||||
₹186.43 a candle is CSI materials with every buffer included; it excludes your jars, scent labels, boxes, labour, freight and GST. Allocated by scent (half of each shared line to each), scent A costs ₹45,323.50 (₹181.29 a candle) and scent B ₹47,889.50 (₹191.56 a candle). The whole difference is the oil: Bergamot Amber’s line is ₹2,566.00 dearer, which matters if you are quoting the two scents at one price.
Why the two oil lines use different bottles
Both oils need 4,344.72 g, but they are rounded separately. Japanese Cherry Blossom is cheapest per gram at 1 kg (₹4.84 against ₹5.00 at 500 g), so four 1 kg bottles carry it. Bergamot Amber’s 1 kg is ₹5,437.00, which is ₹1.00 more than two 500 g bottles, so eight 500 g bottles carry it (₹23,704.00, against ₹23,708.00 with 1 kg bottles). Same grams, different packs: that is why the oils are never rounded as one "8 kg of oil" line. Four oils side by side with four different answers are in the equal-split four-oil post.
When the client moves the split
A common change after the samples: "make it 300 of the cherry blossom and 200 of the amber". Run it through the sheet and the total pours stay at 534 (319 + 215), so the wax, wicks and stickers do not move at all. Only the two oil lines change.
| Split (A / B) | Pours | Wax | Cherry Blossom | Bergamot Amber | Both oils |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250 / 250 | 267 + 267 | 99.24 kg · ₹42,480.00 | 4,344.72 g · 4 × 1 kg + 3 × 100 g + 50 g · ₹21,138.00 | 4,344.72 g · 8 × 500 g + 3 × 100 g + 50 g · ₹23,704.00 | ₹44,842.00 |
| 300 / 200 | 319 + 215 | 99.24 kg · ₹42,480.00 | 5,185.04 g · 5 × 1 kg + 2 × 100 g · ₹25,210.00 | 3,504.40 g · 7 × 500 g + 50 g · ₹19,306.00 | ₹44,516.00 |
| 200 / 300 | 215 + 319 | 99.24 kg · ₹42,480.00 | 3,504.40 g · 3 × 1 kg + 500 g + 50 g · ₹17,296.00 | 5,185.04 g · 10 × 500 g + 2 × 100 g · ₹28,300.00 | ₹45,596.00 |
So the purchasing order writes itself. The shared lines can be bought as soon as the order and its advance are confirmed: wax, wicks and stickers are standard, reusable CSI stock that you would use anyway if the wedding shrank. The oils are bought when the split is signed. If you have already bought the oils and the client changes the split or a scent, that is a commercial question about who carries the cost, handled in the lavender-to-oud change post.
Batch logistics for two scents from one wax
Shared wax does not mean a shared batch. Each melt is one scent, weighed wax in and weighed oil against it; the technique, and why scented wax is never divided between scents, is in the three-scent batch post. For this order on a 10 kg melter the numbers are short:
| Step | Scent A (Cherry Blossom) | Scent B (Bergamot Amber) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full melts | 5 × 49 = 245 | 5 × 49 = 245 | 791.84 g of oil weighed into each |
| Remainder | 22 pours | 22 pours | one unscented melt divided by weight, poured first while the melter is clean |
| Order of pouring | first (lighter floral) | second (amber, vanilla base) | one clean-down between |
| Melts in all | 11, about 4 pouring days at three a day | ||
| Cure before QC burns | 3 days | 3 days (page: 48–72 hours for soy) | calendar time |
| Draw from the shared wax | 49.62 kg | 49.62 kg | 0.76 kg left in the second bag |
Open the second Pearl bag only when the first is used, and write the bag number on the melt card. If the two bags turn out to be different lots, you will know exactly which melts came from which, and that is the difference between a calm lot check and guessing.
Labelling so the two scents never swap
This is the real risk of a two-scent order. Nothing on the outside of an uncoloured 200 g candle says which oil is inside, and a swapped tray is only found when a guest lights a candle. The controls are cheap, and they all happen at the moment of pouring, not at packing.
The decision rule, what you never skip, and protecting the order
The decision rule. Calculate shared lines (wax, wicks, care stickers) on total pours and buy them once the order and advance are confirmed; calculate each oil on its own scent’s pours and buy it once the split is signed; round each oil separately to its own cheapest packs. Accept the plan as it stands if both scents are proven in your jar and wick; accept with conditions (a burn test per scent first, about a week of calendar time with cure) if either is new; renegotiate the date if the test, the 4 pouring days, the cure and the QC do not fit. The settling numbers: 534 pours, 99.24 kg of wax, 4,344.72 g of each oil, ₹93,213.00.
| Step | Why | Calendar time |
|---|---|---|
| A burn-tested, client-approved sample of each scent in your jar and wick | A wick that suits a floral may not suit an amber with a vanilla base | Before buying the oils |
| Written split in candle counts | The split decides two oil purchases | Before buying the oils |
| Lot check on each oil and on each wax bag | Lots can differ in colour and burn | About 3 days, together |
| Cure before QC burns | Bergamot Amber page: 48–72 hours for soy | 3 days |
| Per-scent count reconciliation | Catches a swapped or missing tray | Before packing |
The products on this order
Five CSI products from the worked sheet: one shared wax, two per-scent oils, and the shared wick and sticker lines. Nothing is ranked on performance (CSI publishes no burn data), and your approved scents replace the worked oils.

CandleMakingSuppliesIndia sells the wax, oils, wicks and stickers on this order and does not sell finished candles or printed labels. This page still tells you that buying 100 kg of Pearl together earns no lower price per kilo, that you can split the wax into two deliveries at no cost, and that Bergamot Amber is cheaper in 500 g bottles than in our 1 kg.
Every CSI price was checked on the live store on 7 October 2026, pack by pack, and every pack on the order is in stock on that date; the Eco C1 10-pack, which is out, is not used. Stock depth, dispatch dates and lot continuity are not shown on product pages and are confirmed on WhatsApp.
