Buy 1 Kg Premium Fragrance Oils for Luxury Candle Production
Share
Is 1 kg cheaper than 100 g for premium oils? Usually not by much. The best saving in the premium tier is Neroli Signature Grade at 4.9%. Several kilos are 0.1% dearer per gram. Spicy Cinnamon, on the ₹6.50 line, saves 7.0%.
How many candles does 1 kg of fragrance oil make? 62.5 200 g candles at 8% (16 g each). At 6% it is 83.3, at 7% 71.4 and at 10% 50. Allow 3–5% for pour loss and test burns.
When should I buy a kilo? When one scent uses a kilo within about three months: roughly 20 or more 200 g candles a month at 8%. Below that, 100 g bottles cost about the same per gram and tie up less cash. See when the kilo pays.
Every premium kilo in stock
The table lists the 32 oils whose in-stock 1 kg costs ₹6.50 a gram or more, cheapest first. "Oil per candle" is 16 g at the kilo rate, for a 200 g candle at 8%. "vs 100 g" is the kilo's per-gram saving against the same oil's 100 g. A negative figure means the kilo costs fractionally more per gram. The last column shows the 500 g per gram where one is listed.
| Oil | 1 kg price | Oil per 200 g candle | 1 kg vs 100 g | 500 g ₹/g |

Three things stand out. First, the savings column is almost empty. Only Neroli Signature Grade (4.9%), Coffee Vanilla Tobacco (4.3%) and three oils at 3.2% (Raat Ki Rani (Night-Blooming Jasmine), Vanilla Bean and Dark Vanilla) save more than 2%. Second, eight kilos are 0.1% dearer than their 100 g, including the ₹7,999.00 group. Third, ten of the 32 have no 500 g listed at all, so for those the next step above 100 g is a full kilo.
Across the whole Fragrance Oils collection, 24 of 91 oils save 5% or more at 1 kg, but most are value oils such as Citronella (62.3%) and Honeydew Melon (22.0%). Premium oils are priced almost linearly. That is not a reason to avoid the kilo. It means the kilo decision is about how fast you use the oil, not about the rate. Wholesale luxury fragrance oils analyses the breaks in more detail, including the two near-premium oils at 7.0%.
When the kilo pays
If the per-gram price barely changes, the kilo is a stock decision. The question is how long one kilo of a scent will sit on your shelf. A 1 kg pours 62.5 candles at 16 g each. Here is how long it lasts at different monthly volumes for one scent:
| Sales per scent per month | Oil used per month | One kilo lasts | Buy as |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 candles | 160 g | 6.25 months | 100 g bottles |
| 20 candles | 320 g | 3.12 months | 1 kg |
| 40 candles | 640 g | 1.56 months | 1 kg |
| 60 candles | 960 g | 1.04 months | 1 kg |
| 100 candles | 1,600 g | 0.62 months | 1 kg |
Our working rule: buy the kilo when one scent will use it within about three months, around 20 or more candles a month. Between three and six months, a 500 g is a sensible middle step where it is listed, or the kilo if you are confident. Beyond six months, stay with 100 g bottles. You pay essentially the same per gram and keep the cash for something that sells. Storage life is not in our data. Ask CSI for guidance on each oil, and keep all oils sealed, cool and away from light, which is general good practice.
| Load | Oil per candle | Candles per kg | Wax needed for those candles |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6% | 12 g | 83.3 | 15.67 kg |
| 7% | 14 g | 71.4 | 13.29 kg |
| 8% | 16 g | 62.5 | 11.50 kg |
| 10% | 20 g | 50.0 | 9.00 kg |
The load you settle on in testing changes how far a kilo goes by two-thirds between 6% and 10%. Settle it before you buy kilos. Luxury Soy Wax Chunks are rated up to 13% and CSI 464 up to 10% by the wax maker, and those are ceilings, not targets. How to Choose Fragrance Oils That Make Candles Smell Expensive explains why a moderate load often reads as more expensive, and a moderate load also makes every kilo pour more candles.
When another size beats the kilo
Three premium oils are cheaper per gram in a smaller size than in the kilo, on the pull-date listings. Saffron Cedarwood and Sage and Cedarwood list their 500 g at ₹5.17 a gram against ₹6.87 for the 1 kg. Two 500 g packs cost ₹5,168.40 against ₹6,867.60, a saving of ₹1,699.20 on the same kilo of oil. Pink Crush lists its 50 g at ₹8.88 a gram, below both its 100 g (₹8.99) and its kilo (₹8.90). Twenty 50 g bottles would cost ₹8,880.00 against ₹8,899.00 for the kilo, which is only ₹19.00 less and far more handling.
The kilo is also the wrong size for any scent you are not sure about, however attractive the price per gram looks. A slow-selling premium scent in a kilo is ₹8,294.00 or so of stock, the middle of this list, sitting on a shelf for six months or more. In 100 g bottles you pay essentially the same rate and can stop buying the moment the scent stops selling.

Premium kilos you cannot buy today
Nine premium oils list a 1 kg that is out of stock on the pull date: Freshwater (BBW Inspired), Moca Coffee, Into The Night (BBW Inspired), Dahlia (BBW Inspired), Sacred Sandal Ember, Khamrah (Lattafa Inspired), Coffee Blast, Butterfly (BBW Inspired), Ombre Leather (Tom Ford Inspired). For those, production means 500 g where it is in stock (Into The Night (BBW Inspired), Sacred Sandal Ember, Butterfly (BBW Inspired)), or 100 g bottles, or waiting. Seven oils in the collection have no size in stock at all. Do not schedule a production run on a kilo that is out of stock. Message CSI on WhatsApp for a restock date and plan around the answer.
A two-kilo production order
Here is a production order for two proven scents, one kilo each: Spicy Cinnamon and Pink Crush. Two kilos pour 125 candles of 200 g at 8%, and we plan 124 to leave a little for pour loss. That is thinner than the 3–5% we usually suggest as a working assumption, so top up with a 100 g if your loss runs higher. Wax: 124 × 184 g is 22.816 kg, so five 5 kg packs of Luxury Soy Wax Chunks (25 kg), which cost ₹599.00 a kilo against ₹599.90 in the 10 kg. Jars: 25 packs of White Matte Glass Jars (125). Wicks: 13 packs of 10 Cotton Braided (130).
| Item | Quantity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Spicy Cinnamon | 1 kg | ₹6,499.00 |
| Pink Crush | 1 kg | ₹8,899.00 |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | 5 × 5 kg = 25 kg | ₹14,975.00 |
| White Matte Glass Jar | 25 × pack of 5 = 125 | ₹8,850.00 |
| Cotton Braided Wicks Ready Made | 13 × pack of 10 = 130 | ₹1,560.00 |
| Total | ₹40,783.00 |
That is ₹40,783.00, or ₹328.90 a candle across 124 candles, before labour, packaging, freight and GST. The spare wax (2.18 kg), one jar and six wicks cover test burns. The Cotton Braided 100-pack plus three 10-packs would cost the same ₹12.00 per wick. For a larger run, bulk premium oils for luxury manufacturers scales the same maths to 1,000 candles. For the soy and container versions of the kilo decision, see buying 1 kg fragrance oil for soy candle making and 1 kg fragrance oil for container candle production.
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. A page about kilos is where a supplier would naturally say the kilo is the smart buy. On our premium listings it mostly is not cheaper. Some kilos are fractionally dearer, and two are beaten by our own 500 g packs. This page says so, and gives a rule for when the kilo is still right.
Every oil and wax price on this page comes from live CSI listings pulled on 24 September 2026, including the stock status of each 1 kg. Wick prices are from the 25 September 2026 pull, and the White Matte Glass Jar price is the one verified for Blog 760 on 10 September 2026. Savings, candles per kilo and months of cover are plain arithmetic on those prices.
The three-month rule is our working rule of thumb, not a shelf-life figure. Storage life is not in our data, so ask about each oil. The 200 g candle and 8% load are comparison figures. For kilo stock, restock dates, GST invoicing, MSDS and IFRA documentation, message us on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926.

Non-price figures and assumptions: "Premium" = in-stock 1 kg at ₹6.50 a gram or more (Spicy Cinnamon and Forever Red at ₹6,499.00 are discussed separately). Kilo saving = 1 − (1 kg ₹/g ÷ 100 g ₹/g). Candles per kilo = 1,000 g ÷ (200 g × load). Months of cover = 1,000 g ÷ (candles per month × 16 g). The three-month rule is a working rule of thumb. Storage life is not in the data. Collection-wide statistics (24 of 91 oils saving 5% or more) are from the same pull. Fragrance-load ceilings of up to 13% (Luxury Soy Wax Chunks) and up to 10% (CSI 464) are the wax makers' stated formulation maximums, not regulatory limits. No ceiling is quoted in this series for Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468, Coconut Wax or Soy Butter Wax, so 6–10% is used only as a labelled test range for those waxes. Material cost excludes labour, packaging, freight and GST. Prices and availability change, and the linked product pages are always authoritative.
