Buy 1 Kg Jasmine Fragrance Oil for Candle Making in India

Three jasmines, three full ladders, cheapest first

CSI stocks three jasmine oils. They are not variations of one product at three prices — they are three different compositions with three different commercial positions, and the dearest costs 2.04× the cheapest per gram for exactly the same weight of oil. On a 200 g candle at an 8% load that difference is ₹65.22 per unit, which is ₹32,608 across a 500-candle festive run. Choosing between them is a bigger financial decision than choosing a pack size, so deal with it first. All prices below are CSI live pricing, September 2026, and the linked product page is always the authoritative figure.

For contrast, real volume breaks do exist in the CSI catalogue — they are simply not on jasmine. Mint Sandalwood is the clearest one in the commercial fragrance set: ten 100 g packs cost ₹5,490 while the kilogram is ₹4,999, a saving of ₹491 or 8.9%, and that oil has no 500 g variant at all so the kilogram is the only bulk route. British Rose saves ₹118 on the kilogram against two 500 g packs at ₹3,186. Jasmine is at the other end of that range. The honest summary across the whole commercial cluster is that buying a kilogram instead of two 500 g packs is worth somewhere between minus one rupee and plus ₹499, depending entirely on which oil you are buying, and jasmine sits at the bottom of that list. The broader picture is in buying fragrance oils in bulk in India and the complete wholesale buyer's guide.

What a kilogram of jasmine actually makes

Fragrance load at CSI is expressed as a percentage of total finished candle weight, not of the wax. A 200 g candle at 8% is 16 g of oil and 184 g of wax. State that convention on your own recipe sheet too, because "8% of the wax" and "8% of the candle" are different orders and the difference compounds across a run. The table below runs four candle sizes against three loads, gives the candle count from one kilogram, and prices the fragrance line at both ends of the jasmine range — Jasmine at ₹3.923/g and Jasmine Coconut Spa Ceylon at ₹7.999/g. Candle counts are rounded down, because a partial candle is not a candle.

Read the fourth column as a working-capital statement rather than a yield figure. A kilogram of Jasmine held for a 200 g range at 8% is 62 candles' worth of one scent sitting on a shelf. At 300 g and 13% the same bottle covers only 25 candles, which is a fortnight of production for a maker doing any volume at all. At 100 g and 8% it covers 125 candles, which for a small brand can be four months of stock in a single bottle of one floral — and four months is long enough for your range to change, for the scent to fall out of a collection, and for the money to have been better spent elsewhere. Pack size should follow your production cycle, not your ambition. If you need the arithmetic for a whole range rather than one scent, this guide sizes a full order.

The real reason to buy the kilogram: one batch code

Fragrance oil is a manufactured blend, and blends are produced in lots. Two bottles of the same oil from two different lots are made to the same specification, but specification is a tolerance band, not a single point. Within that band the colour of the neat oil can sit a shade apart, the balance between top and base can shift very slightly, and — most visibly for a candle maker — the amount of yellowing the oil contributes to white soy wax over a three-week cure can differ. None of that is a defect. All of it is detectable when two versions sit next to each other on a shelf in the same gift box.

This is where the kilogram earns its keep. A single 1 kg bottle is one lot by definition. Two 500 g bottles picked from a warehouse shelf on the same day are probably the same lot and are not guaranteed to be, and nothing about ordering them together makes them so. For a maker pouring twelve candles the question is academic. For a maker pouring a 500-candle run of one jasmine SKU into a single retail order, it is the difference between a clean delivery and a conversation with a buyer about why units 300 to 500 are a slightly warmer colour than units 1 to 299. Consistency across a run is a quality attribute you can be held to; a rupee is not.

How many candles a month justify a kilogram

When a pack size carries a discount, the threshold is a payback calculation: buy the big pack once the saving exceeds the cost of holding the stock. On jasmine there is no saving, so that calculation returns nothing and the threshold has to be built out of handling and consistency instead. Here is how it actually resolves, using the 200 g candle at 8% — 16 g of oil — as the reference unit, because it is the commonest commercial format on the CSI range.

So the number is 32 candles of 200 g at 8% in a single run. Below that, a 500 g pack covers the entire run from one lot and there is no consistency argument left to make — you are paying ₹1 more and carrying twice the stock for nothing. Above it, the kilogram is the only way to hold one lot across the whole run, and it costs a rupee. Converted to a monthly figure for a maker who pours once a month, that is 62 candles of 200 g a month to turn a kilogram over inside thirty days, or 125 candles of 100 g, or 38 candles of 200 g at a 13% load. Read those as the point at which the bottle stops being inventory and starts being a consumable.

A 200 g jasmine candle, line by line

The fragrance line is the one buyers obsess over and it is rarely the largest. Below is a complete 200 g container candle built entirely from in-stock CSI products at September 2026 pricing, poured in Luxury Soy Wax Chunks at a kilogram price of ₹599, scented with Jasmine at 8% of finished weight. Wax and oil are costed per gram from their 1 kg variants; everything else is costed at its per-unit price from the pack it ships in. Shipping, labour, electricity, labels and GST are not in this table.

Jasmine at 8% is 26.9% of the materials cost of that candle, and the wax is 47.3%. Swap the fragrance line for Jasmine Coconut Spa Ceylon and the fragrance rises to ₹127.98, the total to ₹298.17, and fragrance becomes 42.9% of the build — the single largest line, ahead of the wax. That is the number to hold in your head when you are choosing between the three jasmines, because it is the one that decides whether the candle can carry your retail price. Work it through with how to price candles in India in 2026 rather than guessing a multiple.
