Buy 10 Kg Candle Fragrance Oil in India

10 kg is ten 1 kg bottles — and rarely ten of the same

Every CSI fragrance oil stops at 1 kg. Of the 106 fragrance-oil listings (classic, Royale and oud, and designer- and BBW-inspired oils; essential oils, perfume, attar and diffuser bases excluded), 87 have a 1 kg pack in stock. So 10 kg bought through the store is ten 1 kg bottles at listed kilo prices. There is no 10 kg price to quote, and we will not invent one. The listed total is the most 10 kg will cost; a multi-scent quantity, a regular order or anything beyond the listed packs is quoted on WhatsApp.

On listed prices, ten of the cheapest in-stock kilo (Citrus Lemon, ₹2,832) is ₹28,320; ten at the median kilo price of ₹6,499 is ₹64,990; ten of the dearest is ₹2,40,560. But the total matters less than the split, because 10 kg at 8% is about 625 candles and the question is how many of those each scent should be.

At the 13% ceiling stated for Luxury Soy Wax Chunks and CSI 468, the same ten kilos make 241 fewer 200g candles than at 8%. At a portfolio scale that difference is a whole scent's worth of production, so the load belongs in the plan before the kilos are split. The quantity-by-load arithmetic for large runs is also covered in how much fragrance oil for 1,000 candles.

Four ways to split 10 kg

There are really only four shapes a 10 kg order can take. Each uses the same ten bottles and the same amount of wax. What changes is which scents you can still sell in the tenth week.

For most small and mid-sized Indian candle brands going into the festive quarter, core + seasonal is the right default. It gives each proven scent enough depth to last ten weeks at about 12 candles a week, puts festive oil on the shelf in time to cure, and keeps the total scent count to six — a size a customer can actually choose from. Switch to weighted-to-sales only when your tallies show one scent clearly ahead over at least two months. How to build a festive line without SKU sprawl is covered in creating a festive candle collection without buying too many oils.

A costed six-scent portfolio

Here is the core + seasonal split with real oils and listed prices. The four core scents cover floral, gourmand, fresh and woody, so the range has a scent for most customers; the two seasonal scents are warm, spiced and amber-toned for Diwali and the winter gifting that follows. Swap any scent for a proven one of your own in the same role — the structure is the point.

Three things are worth noticing. First, the ladder check barely matters here — five of the six oils are within ₹47.20 of the kilo price as two 500 g bottles — except Cinnamon, where the kilo is clearly the right pack. That is typical: for most of the range the 10 kg decision is about split and timing, not per-gram price. Second, the oil cost per candle is tight, from ₹62.77 to ₹86.99, so you can price the whole range at one retail price without the dearest scent eroding its margin much. Third, the seasonal scents cost the most per candle but are also the scents with the shortest selling window — another reason they get one kilo each, not two.

Timing 10 kg across the festive quarter

It is mid-September 2026. Diwali falls on 8 November, and soy container candles want a 14–21 day cure. Working backwards, festive candles need pouring by about 18 October for a full 21-day cure — earlier if they have to be shipped or packed into hampers. The core scents sell steadily either side of the festival. That makes a natural two-drop plan, shown here with the six-scent portfolio at an example core rate of about 12 candles a week per scent.

The two-drop plan keeps ₹17,965 out of bottles for about a month at no extra listed cost per kilo, and it gives you a decision point: if one core scent is clearly outselling the others by October, the second drop can be rebalanced — two kilos of the leader and none of the laggard — without changing the total. The one limit of buying in drops at listed prices is that prices and stock can change between them. If you want the full quarter's quantities and prices agreed at the start, ask for exactly that on WhatsApp. Timing for festive fragrance orders in more detail: how early candle brands should order fragrance oils for Diwali.

What 10 kg of oil needs behind it

At 8%, every kilo of oil needs 11.5 kg of wax, so ten kilos commit you to more than a hundred kilos of wax, hundreds of wicks and a melter schedule. Here is the full materials picture for the 624 candles of the six-scent portfolio, with three listed wax options.

On the Electric Wax Melter, 114.82 kg of wax is twelve melts in the 10 kgs capacity variant (₹21,240) or six in the 20 kgs capacity variant (₹25,960). And because the portfolio has six scents, those melts are also scent changes: plan the pour days scent by scent, and put the festive scents first so their cure clock starts early. The wax-side view of this volume is in buying 100 kg of soy wax.

Building the 10 kg order sheet

A multi-scent order is easiest to quote, pack and check when it arrives as a single table rather than a string of messages. The steps below turn your sales records into that table.
