Bulk Candle Fragrance Oil Supplier for Ludhiana Businesses

From a gifting brief to kilograms

A Ludhiana gifting brief usually arrives fully formed and slightly impossible: a client count, a delivery window tied to a festival, a request for the box to carry a logo, and no mention of scent, size or wax. Your first job is not to quote. It is to convert that brief into grams, because grams are what you buy and grams are what constrains you — and the conversion takes one line.

Load is a share of the finished candle, so at 8% an 85 g candle is 78.2 g of wax plus 6.8 g of oil. Multiply by units and you have your purchase. Change the candle size and everything moves; change the load and the fragrance line moves most of all. The table shows four run sizes a Ludhiana business realistically gets asked for, with the packs each one converts into.

The 2,500-unit bill of materials

Here is the run as a purchase order. The scent split is four ways — 1,000 units of one, 700, 500 and 300 — because a dealer gifting list is rarely one recipient type, and because four scents give you something to substitute if a rung goes out of stock mid-order.

Read the per-unit column as a quoting tool, not a curiosity. Fragrance ranges from ₹50.99 to ₹79.15 across the four scents, which means the cheapest and dearest units in the same run differ by ₹28.16 before anything else is counted. If the client's brief is "same box, four scents", your costing has to be per scent, and the Amber Oud Royal units should either be priced higher or restricted to the shortest part of the list. Equally: wax and tin together are ₹70.69 — more than the fragrance on three of the four scents. A gifting quote built on fragrance cost alone is a quote built on half the candle.

The 1 kg ceiling, and nineteen bottles

This is the structural fact a bulk buyer has to design around: the largest fragrance pack in the CSI range is 1 kg. There is no 5 kg bottle, no 10 kg pail and no drum, on any of the 106 listings. So 17 kg of fragrance is not one line on an order — it is seventeen kilo bottles, plus whatever smaller rungs you use to land the split exactly, which in this run is a 500 g and a 100 g. Nineteen containers, nineteen labels, nineteen chances to lose track.

That constraint has a second-order effect worth knowing before you buy. On some oils the rung below the kilo is cheaper per gram, and at production quantities that gap compounds. Midnight Bakhoor Royale is the example in this very run: its 100 g bottle is ₹7.99 a gram and its kilo is ₹7.999. Buying 4.8 kg as forty-eight 100 g bottles costs ₹38,352 against ₹39,995 for five kilos — a real ₹1,643. And it is still the wrong buy, because forty-eight bottles in a production room is forty-eight opportunities for a mis-weighed batch. Take the five kilos, write down that you paid ₹1,643 for fewer bottles, and stop rethinking it.

Four oils for a gifting run

Corporate and dealer gifting in a city like Ludhiana skews warm, dark and unisex — the candle has to read as a considered object on a desk or a mantelpiece, not as a seasonal novelty. All four of these sit in that register, all four state a candle percentage, and three of the four carry an explicit discolouration warning, which matters because dark gourmands in a pale wax will brown over time.

What to send for a quote

Above the listed packs there is no price to read, so the quality of your message decides the quality of the reply. Five lines, in this order, and the first one is the arithmetic you have already done.

The single-SKU risk

Corporate gifting is the only part of a candle business where you deliberately make thousands of identical things. That is a gift in production terms — one recipe, one wick, one pour temperature — and a risk in commercial terms, because every unit shares the same fault. Four scents rather than one is partly a design choice and partly insurance.

What the catalogue does not do

A bulk buyer needs the gaps named before the purchase order, not after. Five of them matter at this scale, and all five are simply facts about what is listed.

First, 1 kg is the largest fragrance pack — no 5 kg, no 10 kg, no drum. Second, the largest soy wax pack is 10 kg, with one wax listed at 50 kg and no 25 kg or 100 kg pack on any wax. Third, there is no candle-making machine in the catalogue — no moulding, filling or wicking machine; the equipment listed is electric wax melters, a handheld mixer, a hot air gun and hand tools, which means a 2,500-unit run is poured by hand and your labour plan has to say so. Fourth, dye is capped at 100 ml or 100 gm, so a coloured run of this size needs its dye quantity checked before it is designed. Fifth, no listing is described as pre-tabbed; the closest are ready-made cotton braided wicks, Eco Candle Wicks sold by count, and a braided wick roll supplied with 100 separate wick tabs. Boxes, printing and branding are your own supply chain — the packaging materials collection is worth checking, but assume the client's logo is yours to arrange.
