Bulk Candle Fragrance Oil Supplier for Guwahati Businesses

The Assamese year, in grams

A Guwahati business has more peaks than the standard Indian festive plan allows for, because the Bihu cycle sits alongside Durga Puja, Diwali and the wedding season rather than inside them. That is commercially good — four peaks is a steadier year than two — and operationally harder, because one of the four falls in the wettest run-up of the year. The table below is a worked example, not a forecast for your business; change the candle counts and the arithmetic holds.

Two observations worth acting on. Diwali is 44% of the year's fragrance in a single block, which means the November pour is where a scent decision either pays for itself or does not — so it is the last place to try something untested. And the Bihu block, at 11% of the fragrance, carries a disproportionate share of the risk: it is the only one of the four poured in heavy pre-monsoon air, so it wants your most forgiving recipe, your driest glass and a decision made months earlier while the winter weeks are still dry.

Three oils costed at production scale

Three price tiers for a festive shortlist, all costed at the 1 kg pack because that is what a production order buys. Per-candle figures are for a 200 g candle at 8%: 184 g of wax and 16 g of oil.

What 26 kilo bottles actually costs

Six scents, rounded up from 25.28 kg to 26 kg so that a spill or a re-pour does not stop a block. Every line is a listed 1 kg price.

The average of ₹5,513.22 a kilo is the number to carry into your pricing: it is ₹52.93 of fragrance in a 120 g jar, ₹66.16 in a 150 g favour and ₹88.21 in a 200 g candle. The spread inside that average is the interesting part, though. Swap one Santal Noir bottle for one Royal Apricot and the order falls by ₹5,453 without changing the candle count — which is why the mix, not the total, is where a production order is won or lost. Add the wax and wicks and the whole year's oil, wax and wick comes to ₹2,82,583.80, or ₹156.99 a candle before you have bought a single jar.

The wax problem at 290 kilograms

Fragrance is the line everyone watches and wax is the line that actually moves the bill. 290.72 kg of wax against 25.28 kg of oil — eleven and a half times the weight — and here the pack ladder does matter, because two CSI waxes step down and one does not.

The gap between the top and second rows is ₹52,530 on 300 kg, which is a serious number — and it comes with a genuine catch that a supplier ought to say out loud. The cheapest of the three publishes the least. Natural Soy Pearl Wax states no fragrance load and no working temperatures, so every number in your recipe would be yours to establish by testing, while Luxury Soy Wax Chunks hands you a stated 8–13% band, an add temperature, a pour temperature and a cure instruction. On a 1,800-candle year the saving is worth chasing; on the first year of a business it may not be, and the honest answer is to pour both and decide with the burn in front of you.

Wicks and vessels finish the picture. 2,000 Eco Candle Wicks in Thin (C1) is ₹11,800 — two 1,000-packs at ₹5,900, a flat ₹5.90 each at every pack size, so there is nothing to gain by over-ordering. Performance Wooden Wicks behave differently and do step down, from ₹59 each in a pack of 10 to ₹41.30 each in a pack of 100. Jars step too: the 200 ml Salsa jar with a 63 mm lug cap is ₹40.12 each in fives and ₹29.50 each in hundreds — and its screw-on lug cap is worth considering on its own merits in a humid climate, because a sealed finished candle is easier to store and to ship than an open one.

Reorder points when no lead time exists

Every inventory textbook sets a reorder point as consumption during the lead time plus a safety buffer. That formula needs a lead time, and CSI publishes none — no transit days, no courier, no rate, no surcharge. A business in the North-East therefore cannot set a reorder point off the supply side at all. It has to set it off the two things it can verify: the cure, and the weather.

The quote request, and handling at scale

Above the listed packs there is nothing left to read, so the quality of the answer depends entirely on the quality of the message. One message, with everything in it, in this shape:

Then the handling side, which at 1,800 candles stops being a detail. A production year in Guwahati puts several hundred kilograms of wax, twenty-six bottles of oil, thousands of wicks and a great deal of label stock and cardboard into a store room that spends months in heavy air. No CSI listing states a shelf life or a storage specification for any fragrance oil, so nobody can tell you what a wet year does to a sealed bottle. What is observable is everything around it: corrugated cartons lose stiffness and tall stacks lean, self-adhesive label sheets curl at the edges, cotton wick braid takes up moisture and lights poorly, and a floor that takes water in July is the worst place in the building for stock.
