Candle Fragrance Oil Sample Pack in India
शेयर करना
What should a five-oil sample pack contain? One oil per family (floral, fruity, gourmand, fresh, woody) and a spread of production tiers: two value, two mid, one premium. Our worked pack costs ₹564.84 for 75 g of oil.
How do I tell which tier an oil is in? By its 1 kg price per gram, converted to the oil in one candle, not by the 15 g price. Citronella's 15 g is one of the dearer testers at ₹141.60, yet at 1 kg it is one of the cheapest oils in the collection.
What can I make with it? At 7.5%, each 15 g makes exactly one 200 g candle. Five samples, 925 g of wax, five jars and five wicks give five full-size candles to compare. The whole set costs ₹1,576.84.
Why build it across tiers
Most people choose samples by scent alone and discover the cost afterwards. That order causes trouble. A maker falls for a woody oil, launches with it, and finds that the oil alone costs more than twice what the value floral beside it does. The candles look the same on the shelf, but one earns far less margin at the same price. A pack spread across tiers puts that difference on the bench from day one, while it is still cheap to change your mind.
It also tells you something about your customers that no single oil can. If friends, family or early buyers cannot tell your premium candle from your value candle, you have learnt that your range can sit at the value end. If they can, and prefer it, you have learnt that a premium line is worth building and pricing for. Either way the answer cost ₹564.84, not a kilo of the wrong oil. Fragrances for a small brand and for a premium brand go further into range positioning.
| Pack design | What it answers | What it cannot answer |
|---|---|---|
| Five oils, one family, same tier | Which rose (or vanilla, or citrus) you prefer | Whether customers want that family at all; what your range should cost |
| Five families, same tier | Which family your customers prefer | Whether a dearer oil would sell better |
| Five oils, one family, three tiers | Whether a premium version is worth it in that family | Anything about other families |
| Five families across three tiers | Which families you like and where your price point sits | Load and wick in your jar — that is a trial batch |
Tier by the kilo, not by the tester
Sample prices do not track production prices closely. The 15 g carries a premium over the larger sizes that varies from almost nothing to more than double, so a tester's price is a mix of the oil's true cost and its packaging premium. The tier that matters for your business is set by the price you will actually produce at, which for a proven scent is the 100 g or 1 kg. Here is the gap for a few oils:
| Oil | 15 g price | 15 g rank | 1 kg ₹/g | Oil per candle at 1 kg | Production tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Citronella | ₹141.60 | Dear tester | ₹2.89 | ₹46.26 | Value |
| Mahogany Shea | ₹164.02 | Dear tester | ₹4.89 | ₹78.16 | Mid |
| Mango Coconut | ₹93.22 | Cheap tester | ₹3.96 | ₹63.42 | Value |
| Juicy Orange | ₹126.00 | Mid tester | ₹7.50 | ₹119.98 | Premium |
| Dark Vanilla Oud | ₹105.02 | Mid tester | ₹5.69 | ₹91.06 | Mid |
| White Royal Oud | ₹130.00 | Dear tester | ₹8.10 | ₹129.65 | Premium |
Citronella is the clearest case. Its 15 g, at ₹141.60, is dearer than most, yet its 1 kg is ₹2,891.00, which puts ₹46.26 of oil in a candle, the second-lowest in the collection. Mahogany Shea is similar: a ₹164.02 tester for a mid-tier oil. Going the other way, Juicy Orange has an ordinary ₹126.00 tester and sits in the premium tier at ₹119.98 a candle. If you tiered your pack by tester price, you would have Citronella in the premium slot and Juicy Orange in the middle, and your costings would be wrong from the start.
The five-oil pack
The worked pack puts one oil in each of five families and spreads them two, two and one across the tiers. Two value oils give you a realistic entry-level candle; two mid oils cover the core of most ranges; one premium oil shows what a signature candle could cost. Every oil below had its 15 g and its 1 kg in stock on the pull date.
| Oil | Family | Tier | 15 g price | 1 kg ₹/g | Oil per 200 g candle | Material cost per candle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| British Rose | Floral | Value | ₹94.40 | ₹3.07 | ₹49.09 | ₹236.00 |
| Mango Coconut | Fruity | Value | ₹93.22 | ₹3.96 | ₹63.42 | ₹250.34 |
| Cinnamon Vanilla | Gourmand | Mid | ₹106.20 | ₹4.55 | ₹72.88 | ₹259.79 |
| Bergamot Amber | Fresh amber | Mid | ₹105.02 | ₹5.44 | ₹86.99 | ₹273.91 |
| Santal Noir | Woody | Premium | ₹166.00 | ₹9.12 | ₹145.92 | ₹332.84 |
| Pack total | 5 families | 2 · 2 · 1 | ₹564.84 | — | — | — |
Material cost means oil, wax, wick and jar: 184 g of Luxury Soy Wax Chunks at ₹599.00 a kilo, an Eco Thin C1 wick at ₹5.90 and a White Matte Glass Jar at ₹70.80, a base of ₹186.92 before oil. It excludes labour, packaging, freight and GST. Across this one pack, material cost runs from ₹236.00 to ₹332.84, a gap of ₹96.83 per candle. That gap is the number to hold in your head as you burn them side by side.
| Pack | Price | Per gram | Oil per 200 g candle |

| 15 g | ₹94.40 | ₹6.29 | ₹100.69 |
| 50 g | ₹212.40 | ₹4.25 | ₹67.97 |

Pouring the pack: five full candles
Other guides in this cluster split a sample into small pots to compare loads. A sample pack has a different job, comparing oils against each other in the candle your customer will actually buy, so here each 15 g goes into one full-size 200 g candle at 7.5%: 15 g of oil and 185 g of wax. That is half a point below the 8% used for costing, which is fine for a like-for-like comparison. What a 15 g sample makes covers the small-pot load ladder if you want that too.
| Item | Size | Qty | Price | Line total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| British Rose | 15 g | 1 | ₹94.40 | ₹94.40 |
| Mango Coconut | 15 g | 1 | ₹93.22 | ₹93.22 |
| Cinnamon Vanilla | 15 g | 1 | ₹106.20 | ₹106.20 |
| Bergamot Amber | 15 g | 1 | ₹105.02 | ₹105.02 |
| Santal Noir | 15 g | 1 | ₹166.00 | ₹166.00 |
| Sample pack subtotal | 75 g | 5 | — | ₹564.84 |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | 1 kg | 1 | ₹599.00 | ₹599.00 |
| White Matte Glass Jar | pack of 5 | 1 | ₹354.00 | ₹354.00 |
| Eco Candle Wicks Thin C1 | 10 | 1 | ₹59.00 | ₹59.00 |
| Total | ₹1,576.84 |
The total, ₹1,576.84, buys five finished-size candles and five spare wicks. It excludes freight and GST. If you do not own a scale, add a Candle Making Weighing Scale at ₹354.00; at 15 g per candle, weighing is not optional. The testing kit guide prices a full bench.
Swaps and two other packs
The worked pack is a starting point, not a prescription. Each slot can be swapped for an oil in the same family. The table gives two in-stock alternatives per slot with their 15 g price, production cost and tier. Two of them, Gardenia and Peach Melon Berry, tip just over the ₹65 line into the mid tier, so if you use them in a value slot, swap another slot down to keep the spread.

British Rose ₹94.40 · ₹49.09/candle · Value |

Two other designs are worth knowing. An all-value pack of Citrus Lemon, British Rose, Honeydew Melon, Chocolate Fudge, Orchard Pear costs ₹479.08 and suits a maker who already knows the range will be priced for volume, such as wedding return gifts. A premium-leaning pack of Raat Ki Rani (Night-Blooming Jasmine), Juicy Orange, Vanilla Bean, Saffron Cedarwood, Santal Noir costs ₹655.84 and suits a gifting or luxury line. Both are narrower tests than the mixed pack. Sample packs for starting a business gives three budget-capped lists, and the discovery set for businesses scales the idea to 10–12 oils.
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles, and does not sell a fragrance sample pack. This page shows how to build one from the 15 g sizes we do list, and it recommends a mixed pack over a premium-only one even though the premium pack would sell more of our dearer oils.
Every oil and wax price here comes from live CSI listings pulled on 24 September 2026. Jar and wick prices are those verified for Blog 760 on 10 September 2026. Per-gram, per-candle and total figures are plain arithmetic on those prices, shown to two decimals so you can check them.
The tier bands (under ₹65, ₹65–₹100, over ₹100 of oil per 200 g candle at 8%) are our working bands for comparison, not a CSI product category. The 7.5% pour and the 200 g candle are a test design.
