What Are Candle Oils?

Candle oils are concentrated fragrance oils made specifically for candle making. They're different from essential oils because they're designed to work well in wax and give you a consistent scent throw. Our oils work in soy wax, paraffin, coconut wax, and most other candle waxes.

Popular Fragrance Families to Explore

Floral: Think rose, jasmine, and lavender. Floral fragrance oils are classic scents that never go out of style and appeal to a wide range of customers.

Fresh: Clean, crisp scents like ocean breeze and fresh linen. Perfect for people who want their homes to smell clean and bright.

Fruity: From strawberry to apple pie, these scents make people feel happy and nostalgic.

Sweet Treats: Food-inspired scents like vanilla, chocolate, and our popular Strawberry Pound Cake. These are big sellers because they smell like treats.

Designer-Inspired: Scents that smell like popular perfumes. Our Love Spell and Good Girl dupes are customer favorites.

Woody: Warm, cozy scents like sandalwood and cedar. Great for fall and winter sales.

How to Choose the Right Candle Fragrance Oil

Know Your Customers: Pay attention to what sells at your location. Beach towns might love fresh, ocean scent, while mountain areas prefer woodsy, cabin-like, musk fragrances.

Test First: Start with smaller sample sizes to test scents before investing in bulk. Our 1 oz and 1/3 oz sizes are perfect for trying new fragrances.

Consider Your Wax: Some oils work better in certain waxes. Soy wax is popular with customers who want natural products, while paraffin gives a stronger scent throw.

Think Seasonally: Stock up on warm, spicy scents for fall and winter, fresh and floral for spring and summer.

Basic Tips for Mixing Your Own Scents

Creating your own signature blends can set your candles apart from the competition. Start simple and try mixing two complementary scents before getting more complex.

Top, Middle, Base: Good perfumes have three layers. Top notes hit you first, middle notes are the main scent, and base notes last the longest. You can use this same idea for candles.

Start Small: Mix tiny amounts first to test your blend before making a full batch of candles.

Keep Notes: Write down your successful combinations so you can recreate them.

Candle Oil Safety Tips

Always Check Compatibility: Make sure your fragrance oil works with your wax type and wick size.

Follow Usage Rates: Don't add too much oil, it can cause problems with burning and might not be safe.

Store Properly: Keep oils in cool, dark places away from heat sources.

Label Everything: If you're selling candles, include basic burning instructions and safety tips for your customers.
