Candle Fragrance Oil 1 Kg Price for Buyers in Patna

From ₹ per kilo to ₹ per candle — the only conversion that matters

A kilo price is a wholesale abstraction. What decides whether an oil belongs in your range is what 16 or 20 grams of it costs inside the candle you sell. Two steps: divide the kilo price by 1,000 for rupees per gram, then multiply by the grams of oil in your candle. That second figure is the load, and across this series load is a share of the finished candle — 200 g at 8% is 184 g of wax and 16 g of oil. Several CSI pages phrase their percentage as a share of total wax weight instead, so note which convention a page uses.

Now run it on real prices. The spread between the cheapest and dearest kilo is ₹21,224, which sounds like the difference between two businesses. Inside one 200 g candle at 8% it is ₹339.59, and between the cheapest and median kilo only ₹58.65. For a Patna maker selling a 200 g jar in the ₹500 to ₹900 band, that is fragrance moving from 5% of retail to 13% — material, not decisive. The jar, the courier, the packaging and your reject rate are bigger levers.

Every 1 kg price band — and 12 named kilos

Eighty-seven listings carry a buyable kilo today. The first table groups them into five price bands with the live count and per-candle cost at each end; the second names twelve. Sixteen of the 104 listings showing a 1 kg size are sold out at that size and three have no 1 kg option — both groups are excluded from the counts and named further down.

Two facts fall out. Forty of the 87 live kilos — nearly half — are under ₹6,000, which is where most of a commercial range should live. And the top band is almost entirely fine-perfume and designer-inspired compositions; this guide does not name the brands they reference, so the dearest kilo it names is English Pear & Freesia at ₹14,560, though the numerically dearest live kilo is ₹24,056.

Where the kilo is not the cheapest kilogram

Here is the check almost nobody runs. Take the 72 listings carrying both a live 500 g and a live 1 kg, work out what a kilogram costs bought as two 500 g bottles, and compare. On 21 the two routes cost exactly the same per kilogram; on 19 more the 500 g route is cheaper, usually by a token ₹1 or ₹2 but on two by a great deal. That leaves 32 where the kilo genuinely wins.

Drop one rung further and the picture changes. Against the 100 g bottle the kilo is where the money is: ten 100 g bottles of Citronella cost ₹7,670 and the 1 kg bottle ₹2,891 — ₹4,779, or 62.31%, for the same weight of the same oil, and the largest step in the range. Verbena saves ₹1,180 the same way, Mango Coconut ₹1,036, and British Rose ₹1,180 against twenty 50 g bottles. Yet on 14 listings the 100 g rung is priced at exactly the same rupees per kilogram as the kilo, and on 20 more it is a few rupees cheaper.

Three kilos, and how to buy each one

These are not the three best-smelling oils — that is your burn test’s job. They are the three whose ladders teach three different buying decisions. Each card carries the full pack ladder, the price per kilogram at every rung, and how many 200 g candles at 8% each pack fills.

What a kilo actually covers across a Patna year

A kilogram of oil is 62 two-hundred-gram candles at 8%, 83 at 6%, 50 at 10%. Whether that is three months of stock or three years depends on the calendar you sell into, and Patna’s has a particular shape. The heavy weeks cluster in autumn: Durga Puja, then Diwali on 8 November 2026, then Chhath in the days immediately after, then the wedding weeks. Spring brings Saraswati Puja, Holi and Chaiti Chhath; January Makar Sankranti; December Christmas and a second wedding run. Between them sit the hot months from April to June and the monsoon weeks after, when retail candle demand in most Indian cities is quietest.

Output figures there are planning assumptions for illustration, not measured data — put your own numbers in the same columns and the answer usually becomes obvious. The useful question is not "is the kilo cheaper" but "will this kilo be inside candles within a season?" If not, the flat ladders in this catalogue mean you lose almost nothing by buying two 500 g bottles. If it will, the kilo is the right pack and, on the 32 listings where it steps down, a slightly cheaper one.

One more number makes the point. Four kilos — Sandalwood ₹5,026.80, Jasmine ₹3,923, Cinnamon Vanilla ₹4,554.80 and Gilli Mitti ₹8,960 — is ₹22,464.60 of oil covering 248 candles of 200 g at 8%. Those candles also need 45.632 kg of wax, about ₹27,333.57 at the Luxury Soy Wax Chunks price of ₹599 a kilo, plus 248 jars and wicks. A kilo of oil is a down payment on a run many times its own weight. Buy 100 g of each instead — ₹2,312.48 — and the per-candle penalty is between nothing and ₹3.77.

Above one kilogram: multiply, then ask

One kilogram is the largest fragrance size CSI lists. There is no 5 kg or 10 kg bottle on any oil, and a page inventing one would be inventing a price. So the arithmetic above a kilo is multiplication at the listed price, read as a ceiling — the most that weight can cost using packs anyone can buy today. Three kilos of Sandalwood is ₹15,080.40; four kilos of British Rose ₹12,272; six kilos of Citrus Lemon ₹16,992, enough for 372 candles at 8%. Numbers you can hold anybody to, including us.

Check stock before you plan a multi-kilo order. Across the 107 fragrance listings there are 437 listed size-variants, 384 buyable today and 53 sold out. Sixteen show a 1 kg size that is currently out of stock — among them Vetiver, Wild Berry, Grapefruit Oleo, Sacred Sandal Ember, Coffee Blast, Moca Coffee, Spiced Rum and Regal Royal Oud — and ten are sold out in every size. Three carry no 1 kg option: the Mogra 100 g bottle, a Frankincense and Tonka listing, and the ultrasonic diffusion concentrate base. Check for a live kilo before the label copy is written. For a quote that can be answered, give the scents and kilos of each, whether it repeats, the delivery city, and whether you need GST invoicing and documentation.
