Lemongrass Candle Fragrance Oil 1 Kg Price in India

The price, and the per-gram ladder underneath it

The lemongrass oil in the CSI catalogue is Lemongrass and Lime — a lemongrass-led citrus-herbal composition with a lime lift, not a single-note lemongrass isolate. We are naming it precisely because there is no separate "lemongrass" SKU to order against, and a purchase order that says "lemongrass 1 kg" will be filled with this. The 1,000 g bottle is ₹5,200. That is ₹5.20 per gram, and it is the lowest per-gram figure the oil reaches.

Read down the per-gram column and the shape is obvious. Between 15 g and 50 g you save ₹1.17 a gram. Between 50 g and 100 g you save ₹0.70. Between 100 g and 500 g you save ₹0.70 again. Between 500 g and 1,000 g you save nothing at all. In per-candle terms on a 200 g fill at 8%, moving from the 100 g bottle to the 500 g bottle takes your fragrance cost from ₹94.40 to ₹83.20 — ₹11.20 a candle, which over the 62 candles a kilogram makes is ₹694.40. Moving from the 500 g bottle to the kilogram takes it from ₹83.20 to ₹83.20.

The finding: the break happens at 500 g, and the kilogram adds nothing

Because 500 g is ₹2,600, two 500 g bottles cost ₹5,200. The 1,000 g bottle also costs ₹5,200. Same oil, same total weight, same money, same invoice. There is no bulk discount waiting on the other side of the 500 g tier, and if you were holding out for the kilogram on the assumption that there would be, stop holding out.

So the decision between the kilogram and the pair of half-kilos is not a price decision at all. It is a packaging decision, and once price is off the table the packaging argument is one-sided. Buy 2 × 500 g.

What one kilogram of Lemongrass and Lime actually makes

A kilogram is only meaningful as a number of finished candles, and that number depends on two things you choose: the fill weight of your vessel and the fragrance load you pour at. The table below runs the four fill weights most Indian makers use against the three loads that matter. Fragrance cost per candle is at ₹5.20 a gram, which is the 500 g and 1,000 g tier price.

The spread across that table is the thing to sit with. The same kilogram is either 125 candles or 25, depending entirely on decisions you make before you ever weigh out oil. If your range is built on 100 g votive-scale candles at 8%, one kilogram is most of a season. If you pour 300 g three-wick jars at 13%, one kilogram is 25 units and you will need a second before the monsoon is over. Decide the fill and the load first, then decide the pack size — doing it the other way round is how makers end up with a half-used kilogram and no plan for it. How much fragrance oil a candle business actually needs works the same arithmetic across a whole range rather than a single scent.

The full 200 g bill of materials at 8%

Fragrance is the line everyone watches and it is never the whole bill. Here is a complete 200 g container candle in Lemongrass and Lime, at an 8% load, costed line by line at CSI September 2026 pricing. Wax is Luxury Soy Wax Chunks at the 10 kg tier, ₹5,999, which is ₹0.5999 a gram.

Fragrance is ₹83.20 of a ₹277.15 bill — almost exactly 30%. The glass is the next biggest line at ₹70.80, and it is the one with the most room in it: swap to a 200 ml Salsa Glass Jar with a golden lug cap at ₹29.50 each in hundreds and the bill drops to ₹235.85, a ₹41.30 saving per unit without touching the scent. That is worth knowing before you go looking for a cheaper oil — the glass usually has more slack in it than the fragrance does, and cutting the oil is the change your customer notices.

The case against holding a kilogram of this particular oil

Two separate arguments point the same way here, and both of them are specific to light citrus-herbal compositions rather than general warnings about buying in bulk. The first is chemical. The second is commercial.

The chemical argument. What makes Lemongrass and Lime recognisable is sitting almost entirely in the volatile end of the composition — the sharp green-citrus lemongrass character and the lime lift on top of it. Those are the lightest molecules in the bottle and they are the ones that leave first, into the headspace of an opened bottle, through repeated warming and cooling on a shelf, and under light. What is left behind after a long hold is not nothing, but it is duller, flatter and less distinctly lemongrass. A heavy woody or gourmand oil carries its identity in molecules that do none of this, which is why makers who have happily held a kilogram of Gilli Mitti for a year assume the same is true of everything on the rack. It is not. The lighter the oil, the shorter the sensible hold.

The commercial argument. Lemongrass does not sell evenly through the Indian year. It is a warm-weather and monsoon scent — balcony, veranda, kitchen, bathroom, café terrace — and demand builds from around March, peaks across the summer and the monsoon, and falls away through October. The autumn and early-winter candle market in India belongs to warm woods, spice and gourmand, which is what a festive bulk order is built from; Diwali falls on 8 November 2026, and almost nobody is buying a lemongrass candle for it. Put the two arguments together and the failure mode writes itself: a kilogram bought in October, because the per-gram number looked good, sits through the entire festive season and the whole winter, and is finally opened in March having quietly lost the top of the very thing you were selling.

None of that is an argument against buying a kilogram. It is an argument against buying a kilogram at the wrong point in the year, and against buying it as one bottle rather than two. If you are ordering in February for a season you can already see in last year's sales, the kilogram — as 2 × 500 g — is exactly right, and the money is identical to the single bottle.

Who the kilogram is actually for

A kilogram of a single scent is a commitment to that scent as a line, not an experiment with it. The buyers this size is built for all have the same profile: one steady account or one steady channel that reorders the same candle every month. In practice that means a café or restaurant group buying table and counter candles for multiple outlets; a hotel or homestay supplier fitting out verandas, balconies and outdoor dining; a brand with an established outdoor or garden range that sells from March through the monsoon; or a private-label maker with a repeat contract rather than a market stall.

Note what that threshold is not measuring. It is your monthly volume in this specific scent, not across your whole range. A maker pouring 200 candles a month across twelve fragrances is pouring perhaps 17 of each, and for lemongrass that is a 500 g buyer, not a kilogram buyer — regardless of how big the business feels. This is the single commonest error in bulk fragrance buying, and it is why a rack of half-used kilogram bottles is such a reliable sign of a business that grew its SKU count faster than its volume. If you are still deciding how many scents to carry, buying fragrance oils in bulk in India covers the range-width question directly, and lemongrass candle fragrance oil wholesale in India deals with volumes above a kilogram.

On documentation and ordering: every CSI order ships with a GST invoice, which matters if you are claiming input credit on a ₹5,200 line, and MSDS and IFRA documentation is available on request for Lemongrass and Lime as for any oil in the range — ask for it before you commit to a kilogram, not after, particularly if you are supplying a hospitality client whose procurement team will want it on file. Bulk enquiries, quantities beyond the listed tiers and documentation requests are all handled directly on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926. The 92-oil fragrance oils collection, the candle wicks collection and the Eco Soy CSI 400 listing are the other three pages worth having open while you build the order.
