Floral Candle Fragrance Oils 1 Kg Wholesale

The kilo against two half-kilos, oil by oil

This is the comparison that actually decides a kilo purchase, and it is one almost nobody runs. Two 500 g bottles hold exactly as much oil as one 1 kg bottle, cost within a few percent either way, and give you a second sealed bottle you have not opened yet. The table puts every floral kilo beside its own 500 g pack doubled — and where a 500 g size does not exist, it says so.

Read the right-hand column carefully, because "two 500 g bottles" is not a worse purchase — it is a different one. Two sealed bottles mean you open the second only when the first is finished, which is genuinely useful if your pour days are weeks apart. One kilo means one bottle to weigh from, one label, one batch of oil across every candle in a collection. On ten of the twenty florals that choice costs you ₹1 or less either way, so make it on how you work rather than on the total.

What one kilo actually yields

A kilo price means nothing until it is divided by candles. At an 8% fragrance load, a finished candle is 92% wax and 8% oil, so the oil in each one is simply 8% of its finished weight. The table below runs that across five candle sizes and prices the oil line for the cheapest and dearest floral kilos on the shelf — the two ends of the kilo ladder.

Two conclusions fall out. First, the candle size decides whether a kilo is a lot or a little. The same bottle is 178 votives — most of a year's gifting range for a small maker — or 25 large three-wicks, which is one corporate order. Second, the oil is a small line on a cheap floral and a large one on an expensive floral: at 200 g, British Rose contributes ₹49.09 against ₹93.36 of Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464, while English Pear & Freesia contributes ₹232.96 — two and a half times the wax.

Three kilos worth buying as kilos

Not the cheapest three — the three where the kilo is the genuinely right unit, for three different reasons. Each card shows every listed size with the price, the price per kilogram at that size, and how many 200 g candles at an 8% load the pack would scent at 16 g each.

What a kilo commits you to

Before the kilo goes in the basket, work out how long it will be open. A bottle you finish in a month behaves very differently from one you are still dipping into a year later, and the deciding number is not the price — it is your monthly volume in that single scent.

The line to notice is the first one. A maker selling ten candles a month of one floral is buying six months of oil in a single bottle, and six months is long enough for the range to change, the scent to stop selling, or a better version of it to arrive. That is not an argument against the kilo; it is an argument for buying the kilo of your two best sellers and 500 g of everything else. How that mix changes as a brand grows is worked through in how purchasing should change from 100 to 1,000 candles a month.

When the kilo is the wrong unit

Not every floral in the range is a kilo proposition, and it is worth being specific about which and why. Three listings have no buyable kilo. Two have a kilo that is hard to justify as a first purchase because the listing gives you no cheap way to have tested it. And one has no 500 g at all, which changes the arithmetic in an unexpected direction.

The English Pear & Freesia and Lavender Oud rows carry a detail worth pulling out, because it moves real money. Both pages state a candle load that is not 8%. English Pear & Freesia's formulator tip says "In candles, start at 7% and adjust based on wax blend and wick size", which makes a 200 g candle 14 g of oil rather than 16 g — ₹203.84 instead of ₹232.96, a saving of ₹29.12 per candle straight off the page. Lavender Oud's usage table states 10% for candles, which is 20 g and ₹240 per 200 g candle. Neither figure is a rule you must follow; both are the compounder's own starting point, and both belong in your costing before the kilo is ordered.

Placing the kilo order so it lasts

A kilo order has more failure modes than a 100 g one, and all of them are avoidable. This is the sequence that keeps the bottle useful from the day it arrives to the day it is empty.
