Lemon Candle Fragrance Oil Wholesale in India

The six lemon listings, page by page

Search the CSI catalogue for lemon and two products come back. Read the stated notes across the whole fragrance range and six listings qualify: two named lemons, a citronella whose stated top note is lemon, a verbena described as lemony, a lime-and-lemongrass blend, and one pure lemon essential oil. Below is what each one is, what pack sizes exist, and — importantly for anyone building a wholesale order — whether the pages publish enough for you to formulate from them.

Two clarifications before anyone builds a purchase order off that table. The 100% Pure Lemon Essential Oil at ₹4,484 a kilo sits in the butters and essential oils collection and is a different material from the five fragrance oils beside it — it is listed here for completeness and priced for comparison, not recommended as a drop-in substitute. The two behave differently in wax, and the differences are laid out in fragrance oil vs essential oil for candles. Second, Lemongrass and Lime is lemon-adjacent rather than lemon: its lead note is lime and lemongrass, not lemon peel. It earns a place because buyers searching for a lemon candle routinely land on it, and because its published base is the strongest anchor on this shelf.

Every note pyramid, quoted in full

These are the stated pyramids, reproduced in the pages' own words. Nothing is paraphrased and nothing is added, because in a family this volatile the exact wording of the base note is the single most useful sentence on the page. Two listings state an aroma description rather than a three-tier pyramid; that is shown as it stands rather than invented into three tiers.

Read down the base column and the commercial story writes itself. Citrus Lemon ends on more citrus — mandarin — so it is a citrus candle from open to close, and it will read as the brightest of the group and the most dependent on cure. Zesty Lemon ends on a clean musk, deliberately subtle, described on its own page as there to anchor without sweetening. Lemongrass and Lime ends on cedarwood and musk, which is the most substantial anchor of the five, and is why it behaves least like a top-note-only candle. Citronella ends on a single word: wood. And Verbena publishes no pyramid at all, which is not a failing — it is a single-note oil, and its page says so by describing an aroma instead.

The wholesale table: kilo, gram, candle

This is the table to put in front of whoever signs off your material cost. It takes each listing's largest pack, reduces it to a price per gram, and puts that gram inside a real candle at the two loads that matter — 8%, which is where almost every first production run sits, and 10%, which is the ceiling four of these pages state for soy.

Now the part buyers miss. Those figures assume the kilo, and on this shelf the ladder below the kilo is wildly inconsistent. Citrus Lemon's 500 g pack is ₹1,420, which is ₹2.84 a gram — within a paisa of its own kilo. Citronella's 500 g pack is ₹1,475, or ₹2.95 a gram, against ₹7.67 a gram at both 50 g and 100 g. That is not a rounding difference; it is a 62% cliff inside one product. And Verbena falls steadily all the way — ₹7.08, ₹6.61, ₹5.90, ₹4.96, ₹4.72 — which means a Verbena candle costed from a 100 g bottle carries ₹18.88 of phantom cost per unit.

Three lemon oils worth a kilo

Three of the six justify a full kilo for most businesses. Each card lists every pack the product is sold in, the price per kilo each pack works out at, and how many 200 g candles at 8% that pack will pour — the 15 g row reads zero because 15 g is short of the 16 g one candle takes.

Wax, load and the two published flash points

Lemon oils are usually poured into white or pale wax, which makes vanillin the first thing to check and the wax's own stated ceiling the second. Every lemon page here states 0% or approximately 0% vanillin where it mentions it at all, so discolouration risk from the fragrance is low on this shelf — a genuinely useful property, and one of the reasons a lemon candle in an uncoloured soy is such a reliable seller.

On load, the rule is simply the lower of the two stated numbers. Luxury Soy Wax Chunks state 8–13% with 10% recommended, and every lemon oil here caps at 10% for soy, so 10% is the ceiling for that pairing and 8% is the sensible first pour. On CSI 464 both the wax and the oils say up to 10%, so they agree. For paraffin, the oils are stricter than the wax is: Citrus Lemon states 6–8% and Zesty Lemon states up to 6%, so those are the working numbers with Fully Refined Paraffin Wax Pellets at ₹354 a kilo. Why more oil does not automatically mean more scent is worked through in can too much fragrance oil make a candle smell weaker.

Verifying a lemon oil before the purchase order

Wholesale buying means committing to a scent before you have poured at production scale, so the verification work has to happen at sample scale. There are two sources of truth and no others: what the product page states, and what your own cured burn test shows. Here is what each can and cannot tell you.

On IFRA specifically: several of these pages use IFRA language in their own copy, and the concept itself is simply a set of industry usage standards for fragrance materials by application. What this guide will not do is assert that a certificate exists for a particular oil, quote an amendment or category number, or extend a claim made on one page across the range. If a retailer or a certification body needs paperwork before you can list a lemon candle, ask for it by name on WhatsApp and check what arrives against what you have been asked for.

Above 1 kg, and what is not listed

Say plainly what the site does and does not carry. One kilogram is the largest fragrance-oil pack CSI lists — there is no 5 kg or 10 kg variant on any lemon page, and no volume discount is published anywhere on them. What the listed prices give a wholesale buyer is a ceiling: the most a given quantity can cost if it is simply assembled from listed packs.

For anything beyond that — a standing monthly requirement, a purchase order against GST invoicing, or SDS and IFRA documentation for a retail listing — the route is the WhatsApp bulk line on +91 7397976926. CSI publishes no price for quantities it does not list and no minimum order quantity at all, so nothing here should be read as a prediction of a quote. If you are still sizing the run, how much fragrance oil is needed for 500 candles does the kilogram arithmetic, and the wider citrus purchase sequence is in buy citrus fragrance oils for candle making.
