Sandalwood Fragrance Oil 5 Kg Wholesale Price in India

Four routes to five kilograms, and one price

Start with what actually exists. Sandalwood Fragrance Oil ships in five sizes: 15 g at ₹93.22, 50 g at ₹271.40, 100 g at ₹502.68, 500 g at ₹2,513.40 and 1 kg at ₹5,026.80. That is the top of the ladder. There is no 2 kg bottle, no 5 kg jerry can and no 10 kg drum anywhere in the 92-oil fragrance collection, so a 5 kg order is an order for five 1 kg bottles — or for whatever combination of the smaller rungs you prefer.

Convert each rung to a per-gram figure and the shape becomes obvious. 15 g works out at ₹6.2147 per gram. 50 g at ₹5.428. Then 100 g, 500 g and 1 kg are all ₹5.0268. The ladder steps down twice — once from 15 g to 50 g, once from 50 g to 100 g — and then it stops stepping. It is flat from 100 g upwards. It is not a ladder with a single step in it, and it does not keep improving as the packs get bigger; it improves twice at the very bottom and then holds a straight line for the top three sizes.

Three of those four totals are identical to the rupee. That is the single most useful thing a volume sandalwood buyer can know, and it is worth saying in plain words: on this oil, buying bigger does not save you money. It saves you handling. Five bottles are easier to store, easier to decant and easier to audit than fifty pouches, and that is a real operational benefit — but it is not a discount, and anyone selling it to you as one is selling you arithmetic that does not exist.

Mint Sandalwood is ₹139 cheaper across five kilograms, and it does not smell the same

CSI stocks exactly two sandalwood fragrance oils. The second is Mint Sandalwood, and its ladder is shorter: 50 g at ₹299, 100 g at ₹549, 1 kg at ₹4,999. There is no 15 g variant and no 500 g variant, so if you see either quoted, it is not a CSI price. Five kilograms is 5 × ₹4,999 = ₹24,995, against ₹25,134 for straight Sandalwood — ₹139 apart across five kilograms, or 2.8 paise per gram.

Here is where the two oils behave differently, and it is structural rather than generous. Mint Sandalwood's kilogram genuinely beats its 100 g route. Fifty 100 g packs is 50 × ₹549 = ₹27,450, against ₹24,995 for five kilogram bottles — the kilogram route saves ₹2,455 across five kilograms, or 8.9%. Take it in 50 g bottles and the gap widens further: 100 × ₹299 = ₹29,900, which is ₹4,905 worse than the kilogram route.

That is not a volume reward. It exists because there is no 500 g rung to buy. Mint Sandalwood's ladder is 50 g, 100 g, 1 kg, so the jump from the 100 g rung to the kilogram rung is doing the work that two intermediate steps would do on the straight Sandalwood ladder. Per gram the three rungs are ₹5.98, ₹5.49 and ₹4.999 — the price keeps falling because the gaps are wider, not because the supplier is rewarding scale. On a shorter ladder, pack choice matters. On a flat ladder, it does not. Both statements are about the same catalogue.

Where the money in a ₹25,134 order actually is

Work out what five kilograms is for. CSI states fragrance load as a percentage of total candle weight, so a 200 g candle at 8% is 16 g of oil and 184 g of wax. Five kilograms of oil at that recipe makes 312 candles (5,000 ÷ 16 = 312.5, so 312 whole candles and 8 g spare), and those 312 candles need 57.4 kg of wax (312 × 184 g = 57,408 g). If you intend 8% of the wax rather than of the finished candle, the numbers shift — state which convention you are working to before you place either order, because it is the commonest cause of a wrong one.

Now price the wax in packs that actually exist. Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) sells in 500 g at ₹260, 1 kg at ₹507.40, 5 kg at ₹2,537 and 10 kg at ₹5,074. The nearest real assembly above 57.4 kg is five 10 kg bags, one 5 kg bag, two 1 kg bags and one 500 g bag — 57.5 kg for ₹29,181.80. Add the vessels, the wicks and the wick stickers and you have the full raw-material commitment behind those five bottles of oil.

So the fragrance is 37.3% of the raw-material bill, and the whole run works out at ₹215.80 of raw material per 200 g candle. That is the context in which "what's your 5 kg rate" needs to be asked, because the three decisions that follow are all worth more than the answer to it.

Take each lever properly. The vessel is the largest single saving available and it is a pure like-for-like swap: the same 200 ml Salsa jar with the same 63 mm lug cap, in plain glass with a golden lid at ₹29.50 in the 50- and 100-piece packs, against the coloured-glass version of the identical format at ₹62.00. Both are in stock. If the coloured glass is the brand, keep it and treat the ₹10,140 as a deliberate spend on presentation rather than an accident. If it is not load-bearing, that is ₹32.50 a candle back. Note also that "200 ml" is a volume, not a 200 g fill: pour one, weigh the wax, and design the recipe around the figure you measure. Where a jar publishes a fill capacity — the Apothecary Glass Candle Jar with Dome Lid at ₹212.40 states 500 g — you can plan from the number. Where it does not, pour and weigh.

The wax is the second lever and it is not a free one. CSI 464 at ₹507.40 per kilogram and Luxury Soy Chunks at ₹599 per kilogram are different waxes with different behaviour, and the ₹5,305.20 gap across 57.5 kg buys you the chunks' higher stated ceiling — 13% against 10% — as well as a different set and a different pour. Those two are the only CSI waxes with a published fragrance ceiling. Eco Soy CSI 400 at ₹399 per kilogram is cheaper than both and tempting as a third option, but it publishes no fragrance-load ceiling, so nothing on this page should be read as saying 8% sits inside it. Ceilings are formulation limits set by the wax maker — the maximum the wax has been made to hold in solution — not regulatory limits.

The load is the lever with the strangest arithmetic, because it changes the number of candles rather than the cost of one. The same ₹25,134 of oil makes 416 candles at 6%, 312 at 8% and 250 at 10%. Dropping from 8% to 6% gets 104 more candles out of the same five kilograms; going to 10% loses 62. But the extra candles are not free — each one needs its own 188 g of wax, its own jar, its own wick — so lowering the load converts fragrance spend into wax and glass spend rather than eliminating it. Per candle, oil plus CSI 464 comes to ₹155.71 at 6%, ₹173.79 at 8% and ₹191.87 at 10%. And 10% is the stated ceiling of CSI 464, so at that load you are at its maximum and only Luxury Soy Chunks at 13% has headroom above it. Sandalwood's weight sits in the base, which is the property that makes it carry from a cool soy pool, so test 6% before you assume you need 8% — on 312 candles that is a genuine question, not a rounding one. How much fragrance oil a candle business actually needs works the batch arithmetic in more detail.

Two SKUs, five bottles, and ₹25,134 of cash on a shelf

A volume buyer has a risk a 100 g buyer does not, and it is worth naming precisely. A sandalwood line at CSI depends on exactly two products. There is no third straight sandalwood to fall back on, and the second one smells different, so if the SKU you build on is unavailable for a month, your options are to pause the line, change what the candle smells like, or move to a different note entirely. That is a concentration risk in the supply of a single ingredient, and the answer is not to hope.

What to ask a supplier at this volume instead of "what's your 5 kg rate"

When the price is flat, price is the one thing left with nothing to discuss. Everything else on this list changes what five kilograms actually costs you, and none of it appears on a rate card.
