Vanilla Fragrance Oil 5 Kg Wholesale Price in India

What five kilograms of vanilla actually costs

"Vanilla" is not one product at CSI. It is seven, priced across a range wide enough that the word on its own tells you almost nothing about your cost. Every figure below is the published 1 kg variant price multiplied by five, because five 1 kg bottles is what a five-kilogram order physically is. There is no 5 kg bottle, no 5 kg drum and no 5 kg line item to quote.

₹42,995 minus ₹22,774 is ₹20,221. That is the gap between the cheapest and the dearest way to put five kilograms of vanilla into your workshop, and it is the governing number on this page. Hold it in mind for the rest of the read, because everything else a buyer at this volume typically chases — a better pack size, a bulk rate, a slab, a negotiated line — is either smaller than it by an order of magnitude or, on this catalogue, does not exist. On this catalogue the pack step is worth at most ₹2,495 and on one vanilla it is worth minus five rupees. The oil choice is worth ₹20,221 every time.

The ladders are not uniform, which matters once you start comparing. Vanilla Orange Blossom has no 500 g variant — 50 g, 100 g and 1 kg only — so it cannot be tested on the pack-size question at all, and you should not expect a 500 g price for it. Tobacco Vanilla and Coffee Vanilla Tobacco skip 15 g. Cinnamon Vanilla, Dark Vanilla Oud, Vanilla Bean and Dark Vanilla carry all five sizes. Check each listing before you plan a mixed order.

The pack arithmetic, laid bare

Since there is no pack above 1 kg, the only pack-size question available to you is whether to reach five kilograms through ten 500 g packs or five 1 kg bottles. It is a real question with a checkable answer, and the answer is small. Take Vanilla Bean. Ten 500 g packs cost 10 × ₹3,840 = ₹38,400. Five 1 kg bottles cost 5 × ₹7,646 = ₹38,230. The kilogram route saves ₹170 across the whole five kilograms — 0.44%. That is a rounding error, not a wholesale discount.

The best case in the vanilla set is Tobacco Vanilla. Ten 500 g packs cost 10 × ₹3,999 = ₹39,990; five 1 kg bottles cost 5 × ₹7,499 = ₹37,495. The kilogram route saves ₹2,495 — 6.24%. That is a genuine, worthwhile difference and it is the largest pack-step gain of any vanilla on the shelf. It is also still one eighth of the ₹20,221 the oil choice is worth.

And then the case that argues against us. On Dark Vanilla Oud the kilogram route is dearer. Ten 500 g packs cost 10 × ₹2,845 = ₹28,450. Five 1 kg bottles cost 5 × ₹5,691 = ₹28,455. Buying the bigger pack costs you ₹5 more for the same five kilograms. A trivial sum, but the correct direction, and it disproves the assumption the whole search rests on: bigger is not automatically cheaper here, and on this oil it is not cheaper at all.

Where ₹38,230 of vanilla actually finds money

Work out what five kilograms commits you to. At an 8% fragrance load in a 200 g candle — CSI states fragrance percentage as a share of total candle weight, so 16 g of oil and 184 g of wax — five kilograms pours 312 candles, with 8 g left that never becomes a whole candle. Those candles need 57.4 kg of wax, 312 vessels, 312 wicks and 312 wick stickers. That is the real order.

Priced in real pack sizes only, using Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 — whose stated 10% ceiling covers an 8% pour — the wax comes to 57.5 kg bought as five 10 kg bags at ₹5,074, one 5 kg bag at ₹2,537, two 1 kg packs at ₹507.40 and one 500 g pack at ₹260. Wicks and stickers come in packs too, so you over-buy slightly and hold the remainder.

Fragrance is 47.15% of that bill. Nearly half your raw-material spend on a vanilla candle is the vanilla, which is precisely why the oil choice dominates every other lever and why ₹170 is not where you should be looking. Three levers move real money on this run — ranked below by what each is worth, with the pack step at the bottom where it belongs.

The oil wins, and it is not close. Switching from Vanilla Bean to Cinnamon Vanilla is worth ₹15,456 on the five kilograms — ₹15,431 across the 312 candles those kilograms actually pour, the difference being the 8 g of remainder. The vessel is worth ₹10,078.20 for choosing one colourway of the same salsa jar over another; the wax ₹5,305.20; the pack size, the thing the original search was about, ₹170. The oil swap alone takes the bill from ₹81,097.40 to ₹65,641.40 — ₹210.39 of raw material per candle instead of ₹259.93, before you touch the vessel or the wax.

The technical risk a five-kilogram vanilla buyer carries

Vanillin-containing fragrances are known to darken wax over time. That is formulation chemistry, not a defect and not a fault in the oil, and every vanilla in the table above contains the material responsible. On a single kilogram it is a footnote. On five kilograms it becomes an operational question, for one specific reason: five kilograms is stock you hold for longer, and you will pour it from five separate bottles over a period of months.

Two consequences follow. Candles poured from your first bottle and your fifth may not look the same, because they have sat for different lengths of time by the point a customer sees them. And a customer re-ordering expects the colour they bought before. A repeat buyer who liked a cream vanilla candle and receives a noticeably darker one has a complaint about consistency rather than quality — harder to answer, because nothing has actually gone wrong.

What to ask a supplier at this volume instead of "what's your 5 kg rate"

Start with the money you are tying up. ₹38,230 in one scent is ₹38,230 not spent on anything else — not on the wax that has to accompany it, not on jars, not on the second and third fragrance a shelf needs to look like a range. At 16 g a candle, five kilograms is 312 candles of one vanilla. To clear that inside six months you must ship 52 candles a month of that single scent — 0.83 kg of oil a month; inside three months, 104 a month. The six-month window is our editorial judgement, not CSI policy: nothing in CSI's published data states a shelf life or a turn rate. The arithmetic, though, is fixed. If you are not moving roughly 52 candles a month of that one vanilla, five kilograms is not supply. It is stock.

We sell fragrance oil, and that sentence costs us ₹33,675.20 of the order you came here to place. It is still the right advice for most of the people reading this page. One kilogram of Cinnamon Vanilla is ₹4,554.80 — 11.9% of a five-kilogram Vanilla Bean commitment — and it pours 62 candles of 200 g at 8%. Sixty-two candles is a proper market test: enough to put the scent in front of real customers across a full sales cycle, learn whether it repeats, and find out what your wick and cure need to be, without ₹38,230 sitting on a shelf while you find out.

There is one legitimate reason to buy volume early, and it is not a discount. Diwali 2026 falls on 8 November, warm gourmands are festive stock, and the October constraint is not price but whether the oil is on your bench in time to cure. The Diwali ordering calendar is here; the festive bulk shortlist is here.
