Candle Fragrance Oil 1 Kg Price in India

The five price bands on one kilo

First, what was counted. CSI lists 106 fragrance oil products. Of those, 87 have a 1 kg pack in stock in September 2026, 18 have their 1 kg pack sold out, and one (Mogra) is sold only as a 100 g bottle. Those 87 are the basis of every figure below. Essential oils, the attar base, perfume and diffuser bases and the pure oud oil are not candle fragrance oils and are left out. Perfume-inspired and BBW-inspired oils are counted, because they are sold in the same fragrance oil range in the same pack sizes and CSI publishes guidance on using perfume-inspired oils in candles.

The bands are rupee thresholds, not quality tiers. Forty of the 87 oils cost under ₹6,000 a kilo — under ₹96 of oil in a 200 g candle at 8%. Sixty-two cost under ₹8,000 — under ₹128. Each band's ceiling is exactly ₹32 of oil per candle above the last, until the top shelf, which reaches ₹224.92 beyond the luxury band's. The middle half of all 87 prices runs from ₹4,531.20 to ₹8,400.

All 87 oils, cheapest to dearest

The complete sorted list of every CSI candle fragrance oil with a 1 kg pack in stock, and the oil it puts into a 200 g candle at 8%. For a 10% load, add a quarter (20 g ÷ 16 g = 1.25). Names are shortened from product titles; each row links to the live product page, which always overrides this table.

What a kilo price means inside one candle

A kilo of fragrance oil makes 62 × 200 g candles at 8% (1,000 ÷ 16 = 62.5), 50 at 10%, and 38 at 13% (1,000 ÷ 26 = 38.5). Load is a percentage of the finished candle, so a 200 g candle at 8% is 184 g of wax plus 16 g of oil. A ₹2,832 kilo and a ₹24,056 kilo fill exactly the same number of jars; what changes is how much of the candle's cost the oil becomes.

At the median, the oil costs almost as much as the wax in a candle made with Luxury Soy Wax Chunks at ₹599 a kilo. Wax comparisons move a candle by a few rupees; fragrance choice moves it by tens or hundreds. Jar, label and box come on top.

Load moves the number too. On a 200 g candle, each extra 1% of load is 2 g of oil. That costs ₹5.66 at ₹2,832 a kilo, ₹10.44 for Lavender, ₹13.00 at the median and ₹48.11 at ₹24,056. Take Lavender from 8% to 13% in Luxury Soy Wax Chunks — a wax whose page states a load of up to 13% — and you add 10 g, or ₹52.21 a candle. In Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464, stated up to 10%, that option does not exist. Both are formulation limits, not regulatory limits. Guidance by family is in what fragrance load to use for floral, woody and gourmand oils.

Why one kilo costs 8× another

CSI's product pages do not publish formulations, so no single oil's price can be explained precisely. What holds generally across the fragrance trade is that complex, layered accords — perfume-style blends, heavy ambers, ouds, smoky compositions — cost more to create than simple fresh, fruity or single-note oils, and perfume-inspired recreations carry positioning in their price. The CSI list fits that pattern. The entry band is mostly fresh, fruit and single-flower oils — Citrus Lemon, Citronella, Eucalyptus Spearmint, Cucumber Green Tea, Honeydew Melon, Zesty Lemon, Fresh Strawberries, Orchard Pear. At the other end, at least six of the eleven top-shelf oils carry a perfume or brand name in their title.

What the list does not show is price following family.

So the decision runs in a particular order. Choose the family for the customer — the room, the occasion, the gift — and then choose the price point inside the family. A maker who says "rose is too expensive for my market" has usually looked at one rose; the list has one at ₹49.09 a candle and one at ₹127.98. For how perfume-style oils fit a range, see designer-inspired vs classic fragrances.

One oil from each band, with every pack size

Five oils showing what each band looks like in practice. Each card lists every pack size, the price per kilo at that size, and how many 200 g candles at 8% the pack fills (a 15 g bottle is for smelling, hence ≈0).

No card for the top shelf, deliberately: those eleven oils suit lines already priced around them. Buy the 50 g or 100 g size first, pour it in the format you will sell, and only then put ₹10,000 or more into one kilo.

Five checks before you pay for a kilo

At 1 kg, small listing details start costing real money. Run these five checks first.

Pricing a four-scent line across bands

Here is a four-scent line built from oils in three bands: British Rose (₹3,068), Sandalwood (₹5,026.80), Lavender (₹5,221) and Dark Vanilla (₹7,646). A kilo of each costs ₹20,961.80 and makes 250 × 200 g candles at 8% (62.5 per kilo). Per candle, the oil costs ₹49.09, ₹80.43, ₹83.54 and ₹122.34 — a spread of ₹73.25 inside one line that the customer sees as one product at one price.

If the four scents sell in equal numbers, the blended oil cost is ₹83.85 a candle (₹20,961.80 ÷ 4 kg ÷ 1,000 × 16). It is only safe while the sales mix stays even, and one scent usually pulls ahead.

Above one kilo of a single oil, nothing is listed. Two kilos of Lavender at listed prices is 2 × ₹5,221 = ₹10,442; three kilos of British Rose, 3 × ₹3,068 = ₹9,204. Treat listed multiples as the ceiling and ask for a quote rather than assuming one. Five-kilo arithmetic for popular oils is in candle fragrance oil 5 kg wholesale price; whether a scent has earned a kilo at all is covered in buying 1 kg of candle fragrance oil.
