Wholesale Seasonal Candle Fragrance Oils in India

Every seasonal oil's ladder, in one table

These are the summer, monsoon and winter oils that CSI's seasonal pages draw on, with the price per gram at every listed size on 24 September 2026 (price divided by grams, two decimals). The last-but-one column is the change in price per gram from the 50 g to the 1 kg; negative means the 1 kg is cheaper. Out-of-stock sizes are marked and are not buyable on that date. The shape column is our classification, explained in the next section.

Three things stand out. First, the cheapest oils per gram at 1 kg are not all "cheap" oils at 50 g: Citronella is dearer than Citrus Lemon at 50 g (₹7.67 against ₹3.40) but almost level with it at 1 kg (₹2.89 against ₹2.83). Second, the dearest seasonal oils per gram at 1 kg (Tangerine, Gilli Mitti, Vanilla Bean and Dark Vanilla, Juicy Orange) are also the ones whose ladders barely move, so bulk does little to their cost. Third, the 15 g is the most expensive size per gram on every oil that lists one except Saffron Cedarwood; on Honeydew Melon the 15 g is 61% dearer per gram than the 50 g.

The five ladder shapes and what each tells you

Sorting ladders into shapes turns thirty-one price lists into five decisions. The shapes are ours, built only from the per-gram figures above; they say nothing about quality or throw, and CSI does not publish why a given oil is priced the way it is. We state the facts, not the reasons.

1 · Cliff: a big drop at 500 g

Citronella, Honeydew Melon, Mango Coconut, Verbena, Lemongrass and Lime and Fallen Leaves are noticeably cheaper per gram at 500 g than at 100 g, with little further change at 1 kg. Citronella is the extreme: 61.5% less per gram at 500 g than at 100 g. Honeydew Melon falls 22.0%, Verbena 16.0%. Sage and Cedarwood and Saffron Cedarwood also drop sharply at 500 g before their 1 kg rises again. Decision: on most cliff oils one 500 g costs roughly what four 100 g bottles do (Citronella's costs less than two), so once your season needs about 400 g (Citronella: more than 200 g), buy the 500 g; below that, 100 g bottles are cheaper.

2 · Staircase: a little cheaper at every step

Eucalyptus Spearmint, Citrus Lemon, Fresh Strawberries, Roasted Coffee, Cinnamon Vanilla and Vetiver fall at nearly every size. Eucalyptus Spearmint's 1 kg is 27.8% cheaper per gram than its 50 g and still 7.1% cheaper than its 500 g. Decision: buy the largest size you will use within the season. Vetiver is the exception to act on: its 1 kg is out of stock on 24 September 2026, so its practical floor is the 500 g at ₹5.80.

3 · Early floor: the lowest price arrives at 50 g or 100 g

Apple Cinnamon, Autumn and Chocolate Fudge are flat from 50 g; Woody Oud, Peach Melon Berry and Pomegranate Splash from 100 g (Pomegranate Splash has no 15 g); Cucumber Green Tea moves only 20 paise per gram after 50 g. Decision: bulk is a convenience. Buy 500 g or 1 kg only to reduce the number of orders and bottles, never for price, and never ahead of the season you will sell it in. Chocolate Fudge's 100 g is out of stock on 24 September 2026, but two 50 g bottles cost exactly the same per gram.

4 · Late step: flat in the middle, cheaper only at 1 kg

Pumpkin Spice and Cinnamon share an identical ladder: ₹5.90 per gram at both 100 g and 500 g, then ₹5.31 at 1 kg. Their 500 g (₹2,950.00) costs exactly the same as five 100 g bottles (₹2,950.00). Decision: for these two, the choice is 100 g bottles as needed, or 1 kg for a proven seller. The 500 g is a packaging choice only.

5 · Flat or rising: no saving, or a small premium

Gilli Mitti is ₹8.96 per gram at every size from 50 g. Blue Ocean creeps up from ₹4.94 at 50 g to ₹4.96 at 1 kg; Juicy Orange and Tangerine move by ten paise or less after 50 g, in either direction. Raat Ki Rani, Vanilla Bean and Dark Vanilla are close to this group: they fall, but shallowly. Decision: buy exactly what the season will use. Holding stock of a flat-ladder oil ties up cash and earns no price advantage. Where a larger size is dearer per gram — Sage and Cedarwood's and Saffron Cedarwood's 1 kg — ask on WhatsApp before ordering it.

Six oils whose ladders teach the pattern

We chose these six because each is a clear example of one shape and each is a genuine seasonal oil with a candle load stated on its page, except Honeydew Melon, whose page states none. We have no throw data and rank nothing on performance; this is a price-structure selection. Candle counts assume a 150 g candle at 8% (12 g of oil).

The cheapest way to a quantity is not always one bottle

Because ladders are uneven, the cheapest way to buy a given amount of oil is sometimes a size you did not plan on. These are real combinations from CSI's prices on 24 September 2026.

The Saffron Cedarwood ladder matches Sage and Cedarwood's from 50 g upward, so the same two-500 g advice applies. Its 15 g (₹6.92/g) is also slightly cheaper per gram than its 50 g (₹7.08/g), the only seasonal oil where that is true.

The seasonal wholesale buying pattern

Ladders tell you the size. A pattern tells you the sequence: when to test, when to commit, and how to keep a seasonal business from tying cash up in oils that are no cheaper in bulk. The numbers of candles and kilograms per season, and how to stagger the money, are worked through for manufacturers in Bulk Seasonal Fragrance Oils for Candle Manufacturers; this pattern is the size logic that sits underneath it.

What the pattern changes, in rupees

Worked example, one monsoon order of three fresh oils. Buying Eucalyptus Spearmint, Verbena and Citronella at 1 kg each costs ₹10,679.00 (₹3.56 per gram). Buying the same three at 500 g costs ₹5,605.00 (₹3.74 per gram) — half the oil for ₹5,074.00 less cash out. Whether you need 1 kg or 500 g depends on your volume; the point is that for these three the per-gram gap between 500 g and 1 kg is small, so the 500 g carries almost all the saving with half the stock. For a 1 kg-heavy business the question of which oils deserve kilograms is taken further in I'm Buying Multiple Fragrance Oils in 1 Kg Quantities — How Should I Decide Which Ones Deserve Bulk Inventory?.

Quotes, GST invoices, documents and freight

The ladders above are CSI's listed prices on the store. For larger orders, message us on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926 with the oils, sizes and quantities, and we will reply with a quote. We will not print a bulk discount here that we have not quoted you, and we do not state on this page whether listed prices include GST; a GST invoice is available on every order.

If you sell to retailers, hotels or corporate buyers, they may ask for safety paperwork. MSDS and IFRA documentation are available on request on WhatsApp; ask for them with the quote so they arrive with the oils. Where a product page describes an oil as "IFRA-certified", "IFRA compliant" or "phthalate-free", we report that as the page's wording and send the document rather than asserting it ourselves.

Freight is the cost ladders do not show. One long-standing customer's published review praises the products but says "the delivery charges are very high which is restricting me to purchase more". That is a fair point, and it is the strongest argument for the one-order-per-season pattern: combining a season's oils, wax and jars into one shipment spreads freight across more material than several small orders do. Ask for the freight figure with your quote.
