A few reasons to stick with fragrance oil

  • Low Cost
  • Some scents are only available with fragrance oil
  • Some people are allergic to essential oil
  • They may have a lower environmental impact. Sometimes several hundred pounds of plants may be needed for a small bottle of essential oil.


Depending on the plant and extraction process, it takes a lot of plant matter to make a small amount of oil. For example, it takes roughly 200 pounds of lavender flowers to produce 1 pound of lavender oil. That is 200 pounds of lavender flowers that could be used for all sorts of other uses such as teas, pillows, and soap additives besides oil extraction. When you buy one pound of essential oil, you are actually purchasing 200 pounds of lavender – but without having to extract the oil yourself.

More detail about Fragrance Oils
As already mentioned, these are synthetic in substance in that they are not formulated directly from plant origin. However, many fragrance oils do contain a high percentage of essential oils.
In general fragrance oils work better in candles than essential oils, the reason being that many are fine tuned for the type of wax, whereas essential oils are fixed in composition.
The important consideration is that fragrance oils are no different to say a high quality designer perfume, so if you are looking for a candle that produces a beautiful fragrance, then this is the oil to use for your candles.
Typical usage is around the 5% to 10% or 50 to 100 grams of oil per 1000 grams of wax.

In order to achieve accurate results and consistency it will be necessary to use accurate digital scales.
Care should be taken to accurately follow instructions when adding fragrance as if the wax is too hot, the fragrance oil can vaporise and in some circumstances ignite. Hot temperatures can also damage the fragrance leading to a different scent.

Note: Whilst blending of fragrance oils is possible, we have not conducted testing and therefore cannot guarantee and results.
