Buy 10 Kg Rose Fragrance Oil for Candle Manufacturing

What ten kilograms of rose actually costs

Start with the constraint, because it changes how you place the order. CSI stocks two rose oils and both top out at a 1 kg bottle. British Rose runs ₹94.40 / 15 g, ₹212.40 / 50 g, ₹342.20 / 100 g, ₹1,593 / 500 g, ₹3,068 / 1 kg. Smoked Rose Royale runs ₹799 / 100 g, ₹3,999 / 500 g, ₹7,999 / 1 kg, with no 15 g or 50 g size at all. Above 1 kg the catalogue is empty, so ten kilograms is placed as ten units of the 1 kg variant: ten sealed bottles to log, ten batch codes to record, ten seals to break in sequence.

The arithmetic, stated once so there is no ambiguity. 10 kg British Rose = 10 × ₹3,068 = ₹30,680. 10 kg Smoked Rose Royale = 10 × ₹7,999 = ₹79,990 — 2.61× the same weight. Neither figure includes GST or freight, and neither is a negotiated rate: it is the live variant price multiplied by ten. CSI has published no slab, no rate card, no MOQ and no credit term, so any per-kilogram figure for ten kilograms did not come from us. Message +91 7397976926 with the oil, the quantity and your GSTIN and ask what is possible.

Now convert weight into output, because a production planner buys candles, not kilograms. CSI states fragrance load as a percentage of total finished candle weight, the convention used throughout this page: a 200 g candle at 8% is 16 g of oil and 184 g of wax, so ten kilograms fills 10,000 ÷ 16 = 625 candles. If your recipe sheet expresses load as a percentage of the wax — a common and legitimate alternative — then 10 kg of oil goes with 125 kg of wax and each candle weighs 216 g. State which convention your formulation uses before ordering at this size; mixing the two up is the commonest cause of a wrong bulk order.

Per-candle fragrance cost falls out of the same figures, and it is the number that makes the rest of this page unavoidable. A 200 g candle at 8% carries ₹49.09 of British Rose — ₹36.82 at 6%, ₹61.36 at 10%; a 300 g candle at 10% carries ₹92.04 and a 100 g votive at 8% carries ₹24.54. The same 200 g candle with Smoked Rose Royale carries ₹127.98, and with Club De Nuit Intense inspired it would carry ₹384.90. Rose is where a floral line becomes affordable at volume — which is precisely why the fragrance is not where your negotiating energy belongs.

Where the money in a 625-candle run really is

Ten kilograms at 8% in a 200 g candle means 625 candles and 625 × 184 g = 115 kg of wax, plus 625 vessels, wicks and wick stickers. Below is that bill built only from pack sizes CSI actually sells, with each combination shown so you can check every line — no fractional packs, and a slight deliberate over-buy on wicks and stickers because packs do not divide neatly into 625.

Read the shares again, because they are the point. Wax 46.2%. Vessel 29.7%. Fragrance 20.6%. Wick 2.5%. Stickers 1.1%. The oil is the third line, and the two above it are three-quarters of the bill. A manufacturer spending a week trying to shave the rose is working on roughly one rupee in five — and on the tightest of the five, because British Rose is already the cheapest oil in its cluster. There is almost nothing left in it. Even the cheapest oil CSI sells, Citrus Lemon at ₹2,832/kg, would only take the fragrance line from ₹30,680 to ₹28,320 — ₹2,360 across 625 candles, ₹3.78 a candle — and it would mean abandoning rose.

Compare the other two lines. Switching the wax to Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 buys the same 115 kg as 11 × 10 kg at ₹5,074 plus 1 × 5 kg at ₹2,537 = ₹58,351, a saving of ₹10,633 — 4.5 times the maximum available from chasing a cheaper oil, on a wax whose published 10% ceiling covers an 8% load. Moving the vessel the other way, to the Apothecary Glass Candle Jar with Dome Lid at ₹212.40 for the 500 g size, takes the vessel line from ₹44,250 to ₹132,750 — ₹88,500 more, or 2.88 times the entire fragrance bill — and drops fragrance to 12.9% of a ₹237,731 run.

The oil choice is worth ₹78.90 per candle and ₹49,310 across the run — real money, and far more than any negotiation on either oil is likely to produce. On Smoked Rose Royale the fragrance becomes the largest single line at 40.3% and the argument of this page inverts: there the oil is the thing to optimise, and the honest question is whether the smokier profile earns the extra ₹78.90 at your retail price. Work that out with how to price candles in India in 2026 before committing ten kilograms to either.

The kilogram-versus-500 g finding, both ways

Because there is no pack above 1 kg, the only decision left is which sizes you assemble ten kilograms from — and the answer differs between the two roses. British Rose's kilogram saves ₹118 against two 500 g packs: ₹3,068 versus 2 × ₹1,593 = ₹3,186, a 3.7% break, so twenty 500 g bottles at ₹31,860 against ten 1 kg bottles at ₹30,680 — ₹1,180 across the order. Against ten 100 g bottles it does better: 10 × ₹342.20 = ₹3,422 versus ₹3,068, saving ₹354 or 10.3%, which over ten kilograms is ₹3,540 kept and ninety fewer bottles to log.

Now the other one, kept in even though it argues against the bigger pack. Smoked Rose Royale's kilogram is ₹1 dearer than two 500 g packs — ₹7,999 against 2 × ₹3,999 = ₹7,998. Ten kilograms as ten 1 kg bottles is ₹79,990; as twenty 500 g bottles, ₹79,980, so the bigger pack costs about ₹10 more across the order, and a hundred 100 g bottles at ₹79,900 would be ₹90 less again. There is no discount at the top of that ladder: the kilogram here is convenience and nothing else — though ten sealed bottles instead of a hundred is worth ₹90 of anybody's goods-in time.

Ten bottles, ten batch codes

This is the operational cost of there being no 10 kg pack, and worth taking seriously rather than resenting. Ten bottles may carry more than one batch code, because aromatic materials vary within specification between production batches — and a floral shows a strength or shade shift more visibly than a woody or a spice does. A small change in rose's top note reads as "sweeter" or "soapier" to a repeat customer; a dark oud or a cinnamon hides variation inside its own weight. Four steps, no software required.

Storage, turnover and working capital

Storage first, plainly: sealed bottles upright, cool, dark, away from heat, caps tightened, carton closed, decanting into a working container rather than repeatedly opening stock. CSI publishes no shelf-life figure for its fragrance oils, so this page states none — not "two years", not "eighteen months", nothing. Document instead: record each bottle's receipt date and batch code, keep your reference candles, and request the MSDS and IFRA documentation on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926 so handling guidance comes from the document rather than a blog page.

Turnover next. At 16 g a candle, a line making 50 rose candles a month burns 0.8 kg; 100 burns 1.6 kg; 300 burns 4.8 kg. To clear ten kilograms inside six months you need to be selling about 105 rose candles a month. Six months is our editorial judgement of a sensible holding window for a floral at manufacturing scale — it is not CSI policy, there is no CSI stock-rotation rule, and a brand with a strong Diwali or wedding-season rose line may reasonably hold more for a shorter peak. Set your own window, in writing, before you order.

Now the honest upside, because it cuts in CSI's favour and is still true. ₹30,680 is a modest sum to hold in a store room for ten kilograms of a working input. The same weight of Smoked Rose Royale is ₹79,990 and of Club De Nuit Intense inspired would be ₹240,560 — same shelf, up to ₹209,880 more cash immobilised. The working-capital risk of a ten-kilogram rose holding is therefore genuinely lower than for almost any other scent at that weight, so the decision turns on sell-through rather than cash: not "can I afford ₹30,680" but "will my brand sell 625 rose candles". Profitability context here.

Before you commit to ten kilograms

Seven things should be true before a ten-kilogram rose order makes sense. They are cumulative, and if any one is missing the right order is 1 kg — or 15 g — and a fortnight of work.

One more rule, stated bluntly because it saves money. If this is your first rose, do not buy ten kilograms even at the best per-gram price in the catalogue. Buy 1 kg at ₹3,068, run it through a full production batch on your real vessel with your real wick, cure it, sell it. One kilogram is 62 candles at 200 g and 8% — a commercial test rather than a sample, at 10% of the cash at risk. If those 62 reorder, the ten-kilogram question answers itself.
