Sandalwood Fragrance Oil 1 Kg Wholesale Price in India

Both ladders in full, and what CSI does not publish

CSI's sandalwood line is two SKUs. Sandalwood Fragrance Oil ships in all five sizes; Mint Sandalwood ships in three, because there is no 15 g and no 500 g Mint Sandalwood variant — if you see either quoted anywhere, it is wrong. That absence is not a footnote. It is why the two ladders behave completely differently, and it is what most price comparisons get wrong.

Read the two kilogram figures together: ₹5,026.80 and ₹4,999, a gap of ₹27.80. As a percentage of the Mint Sandalwood kilogram that is 0.56%. Over a full kilogram it is less than the price of a single pack of ten Eco Candle Wicks at ₹59. This is the flattest price pair in the whole commercial fragrance set, and it is why this particular page can be honest quickly and then spend its length on something useful.

Above one kilogram the arithmetic is multiplication, not a new SKU. 5 kg of Sandalwood is 5 × ₹5,026.80 = ₹25,134 and 10 kg is 10 × ₹5,026.80 = ₹50,268, supplied as five or ten separate 1 kg bottles. For Mint Sandalwood, 5 kg is 5 × ₹4,999 = ₹24,995 and 10 kg is ₹49,990. The website will not drop the rate automatically at those quantities. That is covered in more detail in the bulk fragrance oil guide and the complete wholesale buyer's guide.

Why the Sandalwood kilogram saves ₹0 — and where the one real break is

Do the multiplication yourself. Two 500 g packs of Sandalwood: 2 × ₹2,513.40 = ₹5,026.80. One kilogram: ₹5,026.80. The difference is zero rupees. Now try it in hundreds: ten 100 g packs = 10 × ₹502.68 = ₹5,026.80. Also zero. The 100 g, 500 g and 1 kg variants are all priced at exactly ₹5.0268 per gram, so from 100 g upwards the Sandalwood ladder is dead flat. There is no volume tier hiding at the top of it, and you can stop looking for one.

The only rungs where the per-gram rate changes at all sit below 100 g. Fifteen grams costs ₹6.215/g, fifty grams ₹5.428/g, and then the price per gram drops for the last time at 50 g → 100 g, from ₹5.428 to ₹5.0268 — a 7.98% improvement. After that, nothing. The practical consequence: buying a kilogram in twenty 50 g bottles costs ₹5,428 against ₹5,026.80, so ₹401.20 more. Buying it in ten 100 g bottles costs the same as the kilogram. Beyond the 100 g rung, pack size is a logistics decision, not a pricing one.

Now the contrast, because it is the one genuine volume break in this cluster and the reason for it matters. Mint Sandalwood's kilogram saves ₹491 against ten 100 g packs — ₹4,999 against ₹5,490, an 8.9% saving. That is real money on a real purchase. But it is not generosity, and reading it as generosity will mislead you about every other oil on the site. Mint Sandalwood has no 500 g rung. Its ladder is 50 g, 100 g, then straight to 1 kg. On an oil with a 500 g variant, the per-gram rate has already stepped down once by the time you reach half a kilogram, so the kilogram has little left to give. On Mint Sandalwood the kilogram is carrying two steps at once — the step the missing 500 g variant would have made, and its own. The 8.9% is the shape of a gap in the variant ladder, not a trade concession.

What actually cuts the cost of a sandalwood candle, ranked by money moved

Here is the part the reader who searched for a wholesale rate actually needs. Build the whole candle, see where the money sits, and then pull the levers in order of size. Below is a complete bill of materials for a 200 g soy container candle at an 8% fragrance load — 16 g of Sandalwood and 184 g of wax — priced entirely from CSI live pricing, September 2026.

Fragrance is 31.7% of that build — a third, which is why it feels like the number to negotiate. It is not, because the two available sandalwood prices are 0.56% apart. Here are the three levers that remain, with the arithmetic, ranked by rupees moved per candle.

Sandalwood against the rest of the catalogue

Context for whether ₹5.027 per gram is expensive. Across the 92 fragrance oils CSI stocks, the per-gram range at kilogram pricing runs from ₹2.832 to ₹24.056 — a spread of 8.5×. Sandalwood sits in the lower-middle of that. Fragrance cost below is for a 200 g candle at an 8% load, so 16 g of oil, fragrance only.

Sandalwood is 1.78× the catalogue's cheapest oil per gram, and the dearest oil is 4.79× sandalwood. If your constraint is genuinely the rupee rate rather than the specific note, Woody Oud at ₹4,531.20 per kilogram is 9.9% cheaper per gram and saves ₹7.93 on every 200 g candle — eighteen times what switching between the two sandalwoods returns. The important part out loud: Woody Oud is a resinous woody oil, not a sandalwood. It will not read as sandalwood to someone who bought a sandalwood candle, and swapping it into an existing SKU without renaming the product is a returns problem, not a saving. Its own kilogram also saves ₹0 against two 500 g packs — the same flat shape.

Mint Sandalwood is not a substitute — and your sandalwood line rests on two SKUs

Mint Sandalwood is a blend with a mint top note. It is not a straight single-note sandalwood. A buyer who reads only the price table will miss that, because ₹4,999 sitting ₹27.80 below ₹5,026.80 looks like the same oil at a marginally better rate. It is not the same oil: the mint sits on top of the wood and reads immediately in cold throw, before the candle is lit.

If you supply a puja range, a meditation or yoga range, a temple or gifting line, or any classic sandalwood range where the customer expects the traditional wood note, do not substitute Mint Sandalwood to save ₹27.80 a kilogram. That is 45 paise a candle set against a customer who ordered sandalwood and received a mint opening. Mint Sandalwood is a good oil with its own place — a fresher, cleaner wood for spa, wellness or contemporary gifting. Buy it for that profile, not for the ₹27.80.

For the cover calculation: one kilogram makes 62 candles of 200 g at 8% — 1,000 ÷ 16 = 62.5, so 62 finished candles with 8 g over. At 6% it is 83 candles; at 10%, 50. Pouring 300 sandalwood candles a quarter at 8% needs 4.8 kg, so 5 × ₹5,026.80 = ₹25,134 for five kilograms, supplied as five separate 1 kg bottles because no pack larger than 1 kg exists; ten kilograms is ₹50,268 as ten bottles. What a business your size should hold is worked through in how much fragrance oil a candle business needs.

What to ask a supplier instead of "what's your wholesale price"

If the published price is the price, the question that opens a supplier conversation has to change. These five questions are worth more to a commercial buyer than a rate negotiation, because each one has a rupee consequence that is larger than the 0.56% you were trying to win — and each one applies to any supplier, not just this one.
