Buy Fragrance Oils for Votive Candle Making
Aktie
How much does a votive cost to make? Oil, wax, wick and jar from ₹76.51 (100 mini jars, Gardenia) to ₹132.06 (10 black votive glasses at 70 g, Orchard Pear), with a 5% allowance. Labour, packaging, freight and GST are extra. See the shopping lists.
Which size of fragrance oil should I buy for votives? At 8%, a 50 g votive takes 4.00 g of oil, so a 50 g bottle scents 12.5 votives and a 100 g scents 25. For ten votives buy 50 g; for 50 or more, 100 g packs or larger.
Which wick for votive jars? Wick sizing for these containers is not published. Eco Candle Wicks Thin C1 (₹5.90 each) are priced into the lists as the first wick to burn-test — confirm the pool reaches the edge in your jar before a full run.
The containers, priced pack by pack
CSI's catalogue on the pull date lists four containers that suit a votive-sized candle. Two publish their fill — the Velvet heart jar's 50 g wax capacity and the golden tin's 85 g fill weight — and two do not. The table sets out every listed pack, the per-jar price at each and what is in or out of stock.
| Container | Packs | Pack prices | Per jar | Fill | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Votive Glass Jars – Black | 1 · 5 · 10 | ₹35.40 · ₹159.30 · ₹318.60 | ₹35.40 · ₹31.86 · ₹31.86 | Not published | Orange out of stock |
| Mini Glass Jars, Black | 5 · 25 · 50 · 100 | ₹129.80 · ₹634.25 · ₹1,180.00 · ₹2,124.00 | ₹25.96 · ₹25.37 · ₹23.60 · ₹21.24 | Not published | Lowest per-jar price listed |
| Mini Glass Jars, Golden | 5 · 25 | ₹129.80 · ₹1,180.00 | ₹25.96 · ₹47.20 | Not published | 25-pack dearer per jar — check before ordering |
| Heart Cutout Velvet Jar, Red | 1 · 5 · 10 | ₹45.00 · ₹225.00 · ₹450.00 | ₹45.00 each | 50 g wax capacity | White out of stock |
| Golden Aluminium Tin | 12 | ₹360.00 | ₹30.00 | 85 g fill | One pack size |
Three things to notice. The black mini jars are the only container with a real volume break: ₹25.96 a jar in fives, ₹21.24 in hundreds, 18.2% less. The Velvet heart jar is ₹45.00 at every pack size, so buy exactly as many as you need. And the golden mini jar's 25-pack costs ₹1,180.00, or ₹47.20 a jar, while five packs of five cost ₹649.00 for the same 25 jars. That looks like a listing issue; do not order the 25-pack without asking CSI on WhatsApp to confirm the price.
How much oil each container takes
Load is a percentage of the total finished weight, and 8% is the working load throughout — inside both published ceilings, 13% for Luxury Soy Wax Chunks and 10% for CSI 464. The table gives oil per votive and how many votives each common bottle size scents, before allowance.
| Container (fill) | Oil per votive | Votives per 15 g | Per 50 g | Per 100 g | Per 500 g |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini jar or Velvet heart (50 g) | 4.00 g | 3.75 | 12.5 | 25.0 | 125.0 |
| Black votive glass (70 g, illustrative) | 5.60 g | 2.68 | 8.9 | 17.9 | 89.3 |
| Golden tin (85 g, published) | 6.80 g | 2.21 | 7.4 | 14.7 | 73.5 |
The 15 g column is the reason votive makers should skip the tester. At 3.75 votives per 15 g bottle, it is too little for a fair test at two loads. The 50 g is the practical tester for votives, and for most oils it is priced at or close to the 100 g rate — Orchard Pear is ₹4.80 a gram at 50 g, Gardenia ₹4.46 and Woody Oud ₹5.43. For which oils suit which container, go to best fragrance oils for votive candles; this page assumes you have chosen.
Five complete shopping lists
Each list is the cheapest combination of listed packs that covers the run at 8% with a 5% allowance on oil and wax (a working assumption for pour loss and test burns). Wax is Luxury Soy Wax Chunks; for orders up to a kilo, two 500 g bags come to ₹598.00, a rupee less than the 1 kg. Wicks are Eco Candle Wicks Thin C1, priced in as the first wick to burn-test, not as a sized recommendation.

What the lists tell you
The cost per votive runs from ₹76.51 to ₹132.06. The container and its fill explain most of the spread: a 70 g black votive glass holds 40% more wax and oil than a 50 g mini jar, and the glass costs ₹31.86 against ₹21.24. Wax is the surprise for most makers — 46 g of Luxury Soy Wax Chunks is ₹27.55 a votive, more than the jar in a mini-jar votive; the same wax in CSI 464 at ₹507.40 a kilo is ₹23.34. The run size explains the rest. Small runs buy whole packs they only partly use: the ten Velvet hearts need 42 g of oil and buy 50 g, and need 483 g of wax and buy 500 g. At fifty and a hundred, the leftovers shrink as a share of the order, which is why ₹76.51 for a hundred mini jars is ₹8.35 less per votive than ₹84.86 for fifty, even though the oil and wax rates barely change.
The oil, by contrast, is a modest line. At the 100 g rate it adds ₹17.32 to a 50 g Gardenia votive and ₹30.81 to an 85 g Woody Oud tin. That leaves room to choose a better oil where the container and price support it — a 50 g votive with Raat Ki Rani at ₹7.00 a gram adds ₹28.00 of oil, ₹10.68 more than Gardenia. In a ₹45 heart jar sold as a gift, that may be exactly the right spend.
Before a hundred-jar order, test the oil in the jar — Strong Fragrance Oils for Small Tealight Candles sets out a fair side-by-side method. For runs well beyond a hundred, bulk production maths scales the same arithmetic. And if your votives are gifts, best fragrance oils for gift candles and fragrance oils for corporate gift candles cover how the occasion changes the choice of scent.

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. These shopping lists buy the smallest listed packs that cover each run, not the largest, and they flag a jar listing that looks wrong rather than let you pay for it. Where a fill weight is not published, the page says so and uses a labelled placeholder.
Oil and wax prices are CSI live pricing pulled on 24 September 2026. Container prices were pulled on 24–25 September 2026. Eco Candle Wicks at ₹5.90 each were verified on 10 September 2026 and reconfirmed in the 25 September pull. Every total is the cheapest combination of listed packs, computed rather than estimated.
The 8% load and 5% allowance are working assumptions; the 50 g mini-jar and 70 g votive-glass fills are illustrative. Wick sizing is not published — the Eco Thin C1 is priced as a first wick to burn-test. For stock checks, quotes, GST invoicing or IFRA certificates, message us on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926.
