A supplier is not a catalogue. It is whether you can hold twelve scents, replace one that sells out, and reorder before a production week finds out for you.

Candle Business Guides · Ludhiana · Supplier Selection
A twelve-scent commercial range, bought at 100 g a scent, costs ₹5,847.68 of opening fragrance stock and covers about 96 candles of 150 g. That number — not the size of the catalogue — is the real test of a supplier: can it carry your range, replace a scent that sells out, and let you reorder in grams rather than in guesses?
₹5,847.68
opening fragrance stock for a twelve-scent range at 100 g per scent · 1,200 g of oil, about 96 × 150 g candles at an 8% load · 49 of CSI's 106 fragrance listings run all five sizes live · CSI live pricing, September 2026
Quick answers — read this first
What does a commercial fragrance range actually cost to open? Twelve scents at 100 g each is ₹5,847.68. The same twelve at 500 g is ₹28,218.40 and at 1 kg is ₹56,114.80. The width of the range is cheap; the depth is what ties up cash.How deep is CSI's shelf? Across 106 fragrance listings there are 436 size rows, of which 383 are buyable today and 53 are sold out. 49 listings have all five sizes — 15 g, 50 g, 100 g, 500 g and 1 kg — live at once, and those 49 are the ones a business can plan a range around.
What does CSI not publish? No minimum order quantity, no business account tier, no published bulk price, no sample pack, no shelf life or storage specification, no delivery times, courier names or shipping rates, and no stockist in Ludhiana. Bulk pricing, GST invoicing and documentation are handled on WhatsApp.
How should a business reorder? In grams, against one production run. If your standard run is 30 × 150 g candles at 8%, that is 360 g — so reorder any scent that falls below about 372 g, not when the bottle looks low.
The short answer
Pick a range width you can actually test: four scents at 100 g is ₹1,567.48 and covers 32 candles; twelve is ₹5,847.68 and covers 96. Every extra scent is another burn test, another cure window and another line on the reorder sheet.
Build the range from the 49 listings with all five sizes live, because those are the ones that let you sample at 15 g, test at 100 g and produce at 500 g or 1 kg without changing supplier mid-season.
Give every scent a named second choice before you need one: 53 of 436 size rows are sold out at any given moment. A substitute chosen in advance and burn-tested in a quiet month costs nothing; one chosen in production week costs a batch.

Width is inexpensive and depth is not. Going from four scents to twelve at 100 g each costs ₹4,280.20; going from twelve at 100 g to twelve at a kilo costs ₹50,267.12. That is the decision a candle business actually makes about a fragrance supplier.

Straight answer
How should a candle business in Ludhiana judge a fragrance oil supplier, and what does a working range cost?
Judge it on three things a catalogue page can answer: ladder depth, live stock and paperwork. On ladder depth, CSI lists 436 size rows across 106 fragrance oils, and 49 of those listings have all five sizes — 15 g, 50 g, 100 g, 500 g and 1 kg — live at the same time. Those 49 are the pool a business should build from, because they let you sample at 15 g, test at 100 g and produce at 500 g or 1 kg without changing supplier partway through a season. On live stock, 53 of the 436 rows are sold out right now — about one in eight — which is why every scent in your range needs a named second choice you have already burned. On paperwork, CSI publishes no minimum order quantity, no business account tier, no bulk price, no sample pack and no shelf-life specification, and has no shop, counter or distributor in Ludhiana; GST invoicing, bulk pricing above the listed 1 kg packs, and SDS or IFRA documentation on a named oil are handled on WhatsApp. The cost of the range itself is smaller than most people expect: twelve scents at 100 g each is ₹5,847.68 and covers about 96 candles of 150 g at 8%. The same twelve at 500 g is ₹28,218.40 for about 480 candles, and at 1 kg is ₹56,114.80 for about 960. Width costs hundreds; depth costs tens of thousands. Decide the width from your burn-testing capacity and the depth from your order book.
One line: build the range from listings whose full ladder is live, name a substitute for every scent before you need one, and set reorder points in grams against one production run.
Opening a range? Twelve scents at 100 g each is ₹5,847.68, and ten of those twelve also list a 15 g bottle so you can smell before you pour. GST invoicing and documentation on a named oil are handled on the bulk line.

Width against depth, in grams and rupees
Most candle businesses think their problem is choosing scents. Their problem is choosing how many grams of each to own.
A range has two dimensions and they behave completely differently. Width — how many scents you offer — costs you a bottle each, plus a burn test each, plus a line on a shelf. Depth — how much of each you hold — costs you cash and carries the risk that a scent stops selling. Getting this wrong in either direction is the commonest structural mistake in a small candle business: twenty scents at 50 g each, none of which can fill an order, or three scents at a kilo each, one of which nobody wants.
The table prices both dimensions off the same twelve-scent range used throughout this guide. Candle counts assume 150 g candles at an 8% load — 12 g of oil per candle — because that is the format most Ludhiana gifting and retail work lands on.
Range shapes · CSI live pricing, September 2026
What each shape costs, how many candles it covers, and what it is actually for
| Shape | Oil held | Cost | Candles of 150 g at 8% | What it is for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ten 15 g bottles | 150 g | ₹1,046.84 | 12 across ten scents | Smelling and shortlisting. Two of the twelve list no 15 g rung at all |
| Four scents × 100 g | 400 g | ₹1,567.48 | 32 | A first commercial range: four burn tests, four labels, one market stall |
| Eight scents × 100 g | 800 g | ₹3,558.68 | 64 | A retail shelf with a seasonal rotation, before any single scent has proven itself |
| Twelve scents × 100 g | 1,200 g | ₹5,847.68 | 96 | A full catalogue on paper with almost no cash at risk per scent |
| Twelve scents × 500 g | 6,000 g | ₹28,218.40 | 480 | A production range for a season with a known order book |
| Twelve scents × 1 kg | 12,000 g | ₹56,114.80 | 960 | Rarely the right shape. Depth belongs in the three scents that actually sell |
Worked out above: costs are the sums of the listed pack prices for the twelve oils in the next table. Ten 15 g bottles = ₹1,046.84 (Wild Berries and Pomegranate Splash list no 15 g rung; their smallest live bottles are 50 g at ₹299 and ₹249, which would take a complete twelve-scent sampling set to ₹1,594.84). Four × 100 g uses the four cheapest hundred-gram rungs (₹300, ₹396.48, ₹399, ₹472). Candles = oil held ÷ 12 g, rounded down. One 100 g bottle covers 8 candles of 150 g, a 500 g bottle covers 41 and a 1 kg bottle covers 83.
Read the last two rows together. The step from twelve at 100 g to twelve at a kilo is ₹50,267.12 of extra stock for a range whose sales mix you do not yet know. The disciplined version of the same money is twelve at 100 g plus a kilo each of the three scents that sold last season — width everywhere, depth only where the order book justifies it. The general argument for restraint is in how to create a festive candle collection without buying too many oils.
The mistake: buying width in 50 g bottles. Fifty grams looks like a sensible compromise and is usually the worst rung for a business. It costs more per gram than the 100 g on most listings — Lemongrass and Lime is ₹6,600 a kilo at 50 g against ₹5,900 at 100 g — and at 12 g a candle it fills only four candles, which is not enough to burn-test and photograph and still have stock. Use 15 g to smell, 100 g to test and photograph, 500 g or 1 kg to produce. The 50 g rung earns its place only where a listing has no 15 g bottle, as on Wild Berries and Pomegranate Splash.
The twelve-scent range, costed
This is one workable twelve-scent commercial range, chosen to cover the families a Ludhiana business is actually asked for — citrus, floral, fruity, gourmand, woody, herbal and Indian — while staying inside listings whose ladders are deep. Ten of the twelve list all five sizes; two start at 50 g. The last column is the figure that goes into your costing sheet: the oil inside one 150 g candle at 8%, at the kilo rate.

| Lemongrass and Lime | Herbal citrus | ₹116.52 | ₹330 | ₹590 | ₹2,600 | ₹5,200 | ₹62.40 |
| Lavender | Herbal floral | ₹105.02 | ₹270 | ₹540 | ₹2,620 | ₹5,221 | ₹62.65 |

| Wild Berries | Fruity sweet | — | ₹299 | ₹599 | ₹2,999 | ₹5,999 | ₹71.99 |
The spread in the last column is the useful thing here. Across twelve scents the oil line runs from ₹33.98 to ₹71.99 per 150 g candle — a difference of ₹38.01. If you price the whole range at one retail figure, the cheap scents subsidise the dear ones and your margin varies by scent without you seeing it. Either price by tier, or pick a range whose kilo prices sit closer together. The full pricing method is in how to price candles in India in 2026, and the category-level view in floral vs gourmand candles: which category is more profitable.
The CSI principle
A supplier's usefulness to a business is measured in rungs, not in scents. Twelve scents you can buy at five sizes each beats a hundred you can only buy at one.
The rungs are what let a range change shape without changing supplier: sample cheaply, test properly, produce at volume, and shrink again when a scent stops selling. A catalogue that only sells kilos forces every decision to be a big one, and big decisions made without a burn test are how small candle businesses acquire dead stock.
Four ladders worth building a range on
Four from the twelve, chosen because each demonstrates something a business buyer should look for. Every card carries the live ladder with the per-kilo rate at each rung and the number of 150 g candles each pack fills at 8%.
1
Full five-rung ladder · the cheapest 15 g in the range's floral tier
Rajnigandha (Tuberose) Fragrance Oil
The Indian floral most asked for in wedding and festive work, and a textbook example of a ladder a business can live with: 15 g ₹90, 50 g ₹250, 100 g ₹500, 500 g ₹2,300, 1 kg ₹4,460, all live. Its page states a recommended fragrance load of 6–10% for candles and 10–15% for wax melts. Look at the per-kilo column: ₹6,000 at 15 g, ₹5,000 at 50 g and 100 g, ₹4,600 at 500 g and ₹4,460 at 1 kg — a genuine taper, so depth really does earn something here. At ₹90 the 15 g bottle is the cheapest way in the range to put a named Indian floral in front of a client before you commit.
| Size | Price | Per kg | 150g candles @ 8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 gm | ₹90 | ₹6,000 | ≈1 |
| 50 gm | ₹250 | ₹5,000 | ≈4 |
| 100 gm | ₹500 | ₹5,000 | ≈8 |
| 500 gm | ₹2,300 | ₹4,600 | ≈41 |
| 1 kg | ₹4,460 | ₹4,460 | ≈83 |

2
The page a business can plan a white range around
Pomegranate Splash Fragrance Oil
A fruity-fresh, clean profile, and the best-documented page of the four. It states a candle load of 8–10% in soy wax, 10–12% for wax melts, 15–25% in a diffuser base, 10–20% in an alcohol room spray and 1–3% in body products. It also answers the question a business selling white or coloured candles actually needs answered: "minimal to no vanillin content" and "Discoloration risk in white or light-coloured wax is very low", because the base is soft musk and sugar crystals rather than vanilla or amber. The trade-off is the ladder — no 15 g rung, so the entry is the 50 g at ₹249 (₹4,980 a kilo) against ₹3,990 a kilo at 100 g. Buy the 100 g, not the 50 g.
| Size | Price | Per kg | 150g candles @ 8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50g | ₹249 | ₹4,980 | ≈4 |
| 100g | ₹399 | ₹3,990 | ≈8 |
| 500g | ₹1,999 | ₹3,998 | ≈41 |
| 1kg | ₹3,999 | ₹3,999 | ≈83 |
₹47.99 of oil per 150 g candle at 8%, at the kilo rate Buy Pomegranate Splash

A ladder that steps twice · read before you buy the middle rung
Lemongrass and Lime Fragrance Oil
A herbal citrus that does the job of a fresh, gender-neutral scent in a gifting range without being another lemon. Its page states 6–10% for candles and 10–15% for wax melts, plus 10–30% for reed diffusers and 8–15% for room sprays, with the load described as a share of total wax weight. It earns its card for the shape of the ladder: ₹7,768 a kilo at 15 g, ₹6,600 at 50 g, ₹5,900 at 100 g, then ₹5,200 at both 500 g and 1 kg. That is two distinct steps down and then a plateau — so the useful rungs are the 15 g for smelling and the 500 g for producing, and the 50 g is the worst value on the page. A business that buys by habit rather than by the per-gram column pays for this one.
| Size | Price | Per kg | 150g candles @ 8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 gm | ₹116.52 | ₹7,768 | ≈1 |
| 50 gm | ₹330 | ₹6,600 | ≈4 |
| 100 gm | ₹590 | ₹5,900 | ≈8 |
| 500 gm | ₹2,600 | ₹5,200 | ≈41 |
| 1000 gm | ₹5,200 | ₹5,200 | ≈83 |

A flat ladder · and a page that describes rather than specifies
Wild Berries Fragrance Oil
Strawberry, raspberry and blackcurrant over blueberry and plum, on sugar crystals and soft musk — the sweet fruity a young-gifting or hamper range usually needs one of. The page's technical content is thin: it describes a strong hot throw in soy wax at 8–10% and recommends it for gifting candles, car fresheners, soaps and body products, and it states no cure time, no flash point and no discolouration note. The ladder is almost perfectly flat: ₹5,980 a kilo at 50 g, ₹5,990 at 100 g, ₹5,998 at 500 g and ₹5,999 at 1 kg, with no 15 g rung. There is no price reason to buy deep here, which makes it a good scent to hold at 100 g until it proves itself.
| Size | Price | Per kg | 150g candles @ 8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50g | ₹299 | ₹5,980 | ≈4 |
| 100g | ₹599 | ₹5,990 | ≈8 |

Reorder points in grams, not bottles
"We're running low on lavender" is not a reorder point. A reorder point is a number of grams below which you place an order, and it has to be set against your own production run, because its whole purpose is to stop you starting a run you cannot finish. Here is how to set one, and how to build the substitution column that goes beside it.
1
Write your standard production run in grams of oilNot in candles. If your usual run is 30 × 150 g candles at 8%, that is 30 × 12 g = 360 g. If you also pour 100 × 70 g favours, that run is 100 × 5.6 g = 560 g. Most businesses have two or three standard runs; write all of them.
2
Set the reorder point at one run plus one test candleFor the 360 g run, that is 372 g. The extra 12 g is the candle you burn from the new batch before you ship the rest. In practical terms: a 500 g bottle hits its reorder point when it is about a quarter used, which feels absurdly early and is exactly right, because between placing the order and receiving it you still have to pour and cure.
3
Weigh the bottle instead of looking at itFragrance oil in a dark bottle is impossible to judge by eye and the bottle's own weight is not negligible. Weigh each open bottle on your weighing scale once a week, write the number on a tape label on the bottle, and subtract the tare you recorded when it was empty. Two minutes per scent per week is the whole system.
4
Name a substitute for every scent, and burn it in a quiet monthWith 53 of 436 size rows sold out at any moment, the size you want will sometimes not be there. Choose the alternate on published fields rather than on smell alone — a comparable stated load and a comparable colour expectation — then pour it once, in July, and keep the record. Pomegranate Splash and Wild Berries cover each other in the fruity slot; Rajnigandha and Japanese Cherry Blossom cover each other in the floral slot.
5
Reorder against the calendar as well as the scaleTwo peaks in a Ludhiana year override any reorder point: the gifting run into Diwali on 8 November 2026, and the wedding season that follows it from late autumn into February. Before each, raise the reorder point on the two or three scents you know those orders ask for, and do it early enough that the cure fits. The runway argument is in how early should candle brands order fragrance oils for Diwali.
6
Record the batch against the recipe, every timeOne line per batch: scent, pack size it came from, wax, load, add and pour temperatures, wick, pour date, cure date, burn result. When a customer says a candle smells different from last time, that line is the only thing that can tell you whether they are right.
One reorder point, two numbers: grams and days
Grams protects you from running out mid-run. Days protects you from running out mid-season. Write both on the shelf label — "reorder below 372 g · raise to 900 g from 1 October" — and the sheet does the thinking for you when the workroom is busy. Neither number is a delivery estimate: CSI publishes no delivery times or courier names, so the buffer you build is yours to choose based on your own experience of past orders.The purchase order, and the paperwork
Most friction between a candle business and a supplier is a documentation problem wearing a pricing problem's clothes. The fix is to write the order as a purchase order rather than as a question, and to ask for paperwork before you need it rather than in the week you do. Here is what belongs on the order, and what CSI can and cannot provide.
The purchase order · and what CSI answers
Each line of a business order, why it matters, and where the answer comes from
| Line on your order | Why it matters | Where the answer comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Exact product name and listed size, per scent | Several listings have similar names and different ladders; a size is a distinct row with its own stock status | The product page. Copy the name and the size string exactly as listed |
| Quantity in grams, not bottles | Bottles are ambiguous when a listing has five rungs; grams reconcile against your recipe sheet | Your own run maths — candles × grams per candle |
| Your calculated ceiling at listed prices | It shows you have done the arithmetic and gives the quote a reference point | Listed kilo price × kilos. Never a figure you saw on a blog |
| Whether the order repeats, and how often | A recurring requirement is a different conversation from a one-off | Your order book. Say "monthly" or "again in January", not "regularly" |
| GST details and invoicing requirement | A business buying raw materials needs the invoice in the right name from the start | GST invoicing is handled on WhatsApp — state it on the first message, not after despatch |
| Documentation needed, by product name | Corporate and export-facing buyers increasingly ask for it, and a late request is an awkward one | SDS and IFRA documentation on a named oil, on request via WhatsApp. No document covers your finished candle |
| Delivery city | It is the only location information that changes anything | You. CSI ships across India and publishes no delivery times, courier names or shipping rates |
Named plainly: what CSI does not publish, and what to do instead. There is no minimum order quantity and no business account tier — so do not wait to qualify for one; the listed prices are the prices. There is no published bulk rate above the listed 1 kg packs, so multiply the kilo price for your internal approval and treat it as a ceiling until you have a quote. There is no sample pack product — build your own from 15 g bottles, which ten of the twelve scents above list. There is no stated shelf life or storage specification on any fragrance page, so set your own stock-rotation rule and keep bottles closed, cool and out of direct sun. And there is no counter, warehouse or distributor in Ludhiana, so the operational answer is a reorder point in grams rather than a top-up trip. Licensing and GST questions for a candle business in India are covered in do I need a licence to make and sell candles in India.
Placing a business order? 1 kg is the largest fragrance pack listed, on every scent. Send the exact product names, the grams of each, whether it repeats, your GST details and your delivery city, and ask for a quote plus documentation on the named oils.

Three kinds of Ludhiana candle business
In a manufacturing city, most candle orders are somebody else's marketing budget — and that changes what you need from a supplier.
Ludhiana's demand for candles is unusually commercial. It is a city of knitwear and hosiery units, bicycle and cycle-component makers, auto-parts workshops, machine-tool firms and the dealers and distributors around them, and a great deal of the candle volume that leaves a Ludhiana workroom goes out as somebody's client gift, staff gift or wedding favour rather than as a shop purchase. Three business shapes recur, and each one stresses a different part of a supplier.
Three business shapes, three demands on a supplier
What each buyer needs, which part of the range serves it, and where the strain falls
| Business shape | What the buyer actually wants | Which rungs it needs | Where a supplier gets tested |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corporate and client gifting for industrial units | A consistent candle, a fixed unit price, a fill weight in grams, and an invoice in the right name. Volume in a short window before Diwali | 500 g and 1 kg on two or three scents; 15 g for the client to choose from | Depth in a few scents, GST invoicing, and documentation a procurement desk may ask for |
| Wedding and event favours | Small formats in high counts, a colour scheme, and a scent that reads as special. A long season from late autumn to February | 1 kg on one or two scents; 70 g and 120 g vessels rather than large jars | Stock depth across months rather than weeks, and a substitute if a size goes out |
| Retail, studio and workshop work in the city | Variety. A shelf that looks different every season and a workshop class that can offer a choice of eight | 15 g and 100 g across ten or twelve scents; almost never a kilo | Ladder width — the 49 listings with all five sizes live are the whole game here |
The practical lesson is that the first two shapes want depth and the third wants width, and almost no business is purely one shape. A Ludhiana maker who supplies two factories at Diwali and runs a small retail shelf the rest of the year needs a kilo of two scents and 100 g of ten — which is exactly why the rung structure matters more than the catalogue size. For the gifting brief itself, see best fragrance oils for corporate gifting candles; for the favour maths, how much fragrance oil is needed for 100 wedding-favour candles.
Nobody changes fragrance supplier because a scent disappointed a customer. They change because a size was missing in the week the order was due.

Why trust this guide
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. A page selling our own range has an obvious incentive to recommend twelve kilos. This one tells you that twelve kilos is ₹56,114.80 and is usually the wrong shape, and that fifty-gram bottles are the worst value on most listings. A business that holds the right grams reorders for years; one that buys ₹56,000 of oil it cannot pour does not.
Every figure here comes from live CSI stock in September 2026 and links to the product page, which is always authoritative. Counts are our own audit of the catalogue and are stated with their definitions: 436 size rows across 106 fragrance-oil listings, 383 buyable and 53 sold out; 55 listings offer all five sizes and 49 of those have all five live at once. Stated specifications are quoted only where a page gives them — Rajnigandha's 6–10% candle load, Pomegranate Splash's 8–10% in soy wax with "minimal to no vanillin content" and very low discolouration risk in light wax, Lemongrass and Lime's 6–10% of total wax weight, Wild Berries' 8–10% in soy with no cure time, flash point or colour note published. Stated loads are formulation guidance, not regulatory limits.
What CSI does not publish, said once more because businesses plan around it: no minimum order quantity, no business account tier, no bulk rate above the listed 1 kg packs, no sample-pack product, no shelf-life or storage specification, no delivery times, courier names or shipping rates, and no shop, counter, warehouse or distributor in Ludhiana. Bulk pricing, GST invoicing and SDS or IFRA documentation on a named oil are handled on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926.
Frequently asked questions
What should a candle business measure a fragrance supplier on?
Test three things, in this order. Ladder depth — can you buy the same scent at a sample size, a test size and a production size? At CSI, 49 of 106 listings have all five sizes live at once. Live stock — how much of the shelf is actually buyable? Here, 383 of 436 size rows. Paperwork — can you get a GST invoice and documentation on a named product, and will the supplier tell you what it does not publish? Catalogue size is the least useful signal of the four things you might count.
Is there a trade tier or an order minimum I need to qualify for?
Neither. There is no stated MOQ on any fragrance listing and no business or trade account tier, so the listed prices are the prices whether you buy one 15 g bottle or twelve kilos. There is also no sample-pack product — a business builds its own audition set from 15 g bottles, which ten of the twelve scents in this guide list, for ₹1,046.84. For anything above the listed 1 kg packs, message WhatsApp with product names and grams and ask for a quote.
What does a twelve-scent commercial range cost to hold?
At 100 g a scent, ₹5,847.68 — 1,200 g of oil, about 96 candles of 150 g at an 8% load. At 500 g a scent it is ₹28,218.40 for about 480 candles, and at 1 kg it is ₹56,114.80 for about 960. Four scents at 100 g is ₹1,567.48. The sensible shape for most businesses is width at 100 g plus depth only in the two or three scents the order book has already proven.
How do I set a reorder point for fragrance oil?
In grams, against one production run. Work out your standard run in grams of oil — 30 × 150 g candles at 8% is 360 g — and set the reorder point at one run plus one test candle, so 372 g. That means a 500 g bottle triggers a reorder when it is roughly a quarter used. Weigh open bottles weekly rather than judging by eye, record the tare, and raise the point on your two or three peak scents before the festive and wedding runs.
Which papers can I get for a named oil, and which do not exist?
SDS and IFRA documentation on a named oil, on request via WhatsApp, together with a GST invoice. Ask by exact product name and ask before you need it. Two limits are worth knowing: no document a fragrance supplier holds covers your finished candle, which has its own wax, wick, vessel and load; and no CSI fragrance page states a shelf life or storage specification, so stock rotation is your own policy to set and record.
Does CSI have a branch, distributor or stockist in Ludhiana?
No. CSI is an online supplier that ships across India and handles bulk orders on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926. There is no shop, counter, warehouse, branch or distributor in Ludhiana, and no delivery times, courier names or shipping rates are published for any city. For a business that means one operational change: the reorder point replaces the top-up trip. Set it in grams, weigh your bottles weekly, and raise it before the run into Diwali on 8 November 2026 and the wedding season behind it.

Range totals: ten 15 g bottles ₹1,046.84 (a complete twelve-scent smallest-live set including the two 50 g entries is ₹1,594.84); twelve × 100 g ₹5,847.68; twelve × 500 g ₹28,218.40; twelve × 1 kg ₹56,114.80; four cheapest × 100 g ₹1,567.48; eight cheapest × 100 g ₹3,558.68. Step from twelve × 100 g to twelve × 1 kg = ₹50,267.12; from four × 100 g to twelve × 100 g = ₹4,280.20. Stated page facts quoted: Rajnigandha "Recommended fragrance load is 6-10% for candles and 10-15% for wax melts"; Pomegranate Splash "Usage Guide Soy Wax Candles 8-10% fragrance load", "minimal to no vanillin content" and "Discoloration risk in white or light-coloured wax is very low"; Lemongrass and Lime "Recommended fragrance load 6-10% for candles, 10-15% for wax melts" and "Candles 6-10% Of total wax weight"; Wild Berries "Extremely strong hot throw in soy wax (8–10%)" with no cure, flash point or discolouration note published. Candle maths assumes load as a share of finished candle weight: a 150 g candle at 8% holds 12 g of oil and 138 g of wax; a 70 g favour holds 5.6 g. Candles per pack = grams ÷ 12, rounded down (100 g = 8, 500 g = 41, 1 kg = 83). Reorder point of 372 g = a 360 g production run plus one 12 g test candle; both the run size and the buffer are planning conventions, not supplier commitments.
