Strawberry Candle Fragrance Oil Wholesale in India

The price matrix, every size, per gram

Here is every buyable variant of Fresh Strawberries with the per-gram figure worked out, because the per-gram figure is the only one that lets you compare a 15g trial bottle with a kilogram. Prices are CSI live pricing, September 2026; the product page is always the authoritative source if anything has moved since.

Read the last column and the shape is obvious. The money is in the first two steps: 15g to 50g takes ₹3.30 off every gram, a 44% fall, and 50g to 100g takes another ₹0.47 off to land at ₹3.776 — precisely half the 15g rate. Then the curve flattens hard. The 500g pack saves ₹0.24 a gram against the 100g: real, but small. And the 1kg pack saves nothing at all. ₹3,540 for 1,000 grams is ₹3.54 per gram, the identical figure you already get at 500g for ₹1,770.

This is not a universal rule across the range, and it is worth knowing where it does not hold before you generalise. On Eucalyptus Spearmint the kilogram genuinely is cheaper per gram — ₹3,068 for 1kg is ₹3.07 a gram against ₹1,652 for 500g at ₹3.30, so there the step up is worth ₹0.24 a gram. On Cinnamon Vanilla it is worth a few paise. On Saffron Cedarwood the kilogram is actually dearer per gram than the 500g — ₹6,867.60 for 1kg is ₹6.87 a gram against ₹5.17 at 500g. And on Apple Cinnamon the two sizes are exactly flat against each other as strawberry is, while Juicy Orange and Bergamot Amber are flat to within a paisa. Check the per-gram figure on the specific oil rather than assuming the biggest pack is the best price. It takes ten seconds and it is wrong roughly as often as it is right.

The margin case at ₹3.54 a gram

A 200g container candle at an 8% fragrance load takes 16g of oil. At the 500g and 1kg rate of ₹3.54 per gram, that is ₹56.64 of fragrance in the finished candle. Push the load to 10% and you are at 20g, or ₹70.80. Buy the oil in 100g packs instead and the same 16g costs ₹60.42 — ₹3.78 more per candle, which is the entire practical consequence of choosing the wrong pack size on this oil.

Now put ₹56.64 next to the rest of the bill of materials. On a 200g candle you are also buying 184g of wax, a jar, a lid, a wick, a label and a box — and on an oil priced at ₹3.54 a gram, those are the lines that move your margin, not the scent. Take the current prices for those straight off the glass jars, candle wax and packaging collection pages when you build the sheet, because those move more often than fragrance does. The point stands whatever the exact figures are: on a cheap oil the fragrance is the small number on the page. That is the inversion this page exists to make, and it is why the buying behaviour is different.

Set it against the top of the range. Amber Oud Royal at ₹11,640/kg is ₹11.64 a gram, so the same 16g costs ₹186.24 instead of ₹56.64. Santal Noir at ₹9,120/kg is ₹145.92 a candle; Mahogany Teakwood at ₹8,800/kg is ₹140.80. Strawberry runs at roughly a third of the premium end. What you are paying for as you go up that ladder is set out in premium versus cheap fragrance oils.

Where the volume actually comes from

Buying 8kg of one scent only makes sense if you know where it is going. Strawberry is a narrow note — it will not carry a minimalist home-fragrance line and it will not sell into the segment that buys Santal Noir — but the categories it does serve are all high-unit, low-ticket categories. That combination is exactly what justifies buying deep on a cheap oil: narrow scent, wide channel, small per-unit spend.

None of those categories is glamorous and all of them move units. That is the honest case for depth here. If your business sits at the other end — luxury tins, a considered woody-oriental line — strawberry is not your volume scent and 8kg of it is a mistake whatever the per-gram price says. Festive bulk ordering and how much fragrance oil a candle business needs cover the sizing side.

Those figures assume strawberry is your only scent, which it will not be. If strawberry is a fifth of a six-scent range doing 500 candles a month, you need roughly 1.6kg a month at 8% — three to four 500g packs, not sixteen. Work the share before you work the total, because the single most common bulk-buying error is applying the whole month's volume to one scent. Scaling to 1,000 orders a month covers what happens to the rest of the plan at that point.

How deep to buy, and the channel test

Depth is genuinely lower-risk on a cheap oil, and it is worth being precise about why. The risk of a bulk fragrance order is the cash you park and cannot recover quickly, and on this oil you park a third of what a premium oil ties up for the same number of candles. Eight kilograms of Fresh Strawberries is ₹28,320. Eight kilograms of Amber Oud Royal is ₹93,120. If the season disappoints, the first mistake costs ₹28,320 of working capital sitting in a cupboard; the second costs ₹93,120. Same shelf space, same number of candles, three and a quarter times the exposure.

The test takes one sitting. Name the channel, name the units, buy to that number plus a margin for error. A confirmed corporate order for 300 units at 200g and 8% is 4.8kg — ten 500g packs at ₹17,700, so buy eleven and you have covered spillage, a re-pour and samples. A stall that has sold 60 strawberry melts a month for four months running is a real channel. A feeling that strawberry will do well at Diwali is not, and the correct order there is one 500g pack while you find out.

A word on what the reviews do and do not tell you. Two customers have reviewed this exact oil, both at five stars. Kavitha murthy wrote "Absolutely loved it!! Smells so perfect!! Go for itt! Packing is done very carefully and happy for that!❤️" — enthusiasm about the scent and about the packing, which is what you want to hear before committing to a kilogram of anything shipped across India. Uchu Omoide wrote "Really nice fragrance, we continue our shopping going forward." — a repeat-purchase signal, which on a wholesale page is the more useful of the two. Neither tells you how the oil performs at your load, in your wax, in your jar. Buy the 15g at ₹113.28, pour three test candles, cure them properly and judge it yourself before you commit ₹1,770 — let alone ₹28,320.

Storage, documentation and GST

A kilogram of fragrance oil is a stock item, and it behaves like one. Store it in the original container, tightly closed, away from direct sunlight and heat, at stable room temperature. Fragrance oils degrade with exposure to air, light and heat, so decanting a 500g pack into five open jars is a good way to lose the top of the scent over a few months. If you are drawing working quantities off a large pack, decant what you need for the week and close the main container again.

Do not store oils next to finished candles or your wax. Vapour transfer between an open bottle and a curing candle is a real source of contamination, and it usually only becomes obvious when a customer says the vanilla candle smells faintly of strawberry. Keep oils in their own closed box, away from the pour bench.

On the commercial side: every CSI order is invoiced with GST. If you are registered, that input credit is part of the real cost of the oil and should be in your costing sheet — costing a wholesale fragrance order on the gross figure quietly overstates your materials cost on every candle you make from it. If you are not registered and are buying at the volumes on this page, it is worth getting advice on whether you should be. How to price candles in India in 2026 and is candle making actually profitable in India in 2026 both work through where these figures land in a finished price.

On ordering: for 8kg and above of one scent, or a mixed order across the wider fragrance range, send it through on WhatsApp rather than building it in the cart. Stock position, consolidated shipping and documentation get settled in one conversation, which beats discovering a variant is out of stock at checkout. The wholesale raw materials guide covers assembling the rest of the order.
