Amla Honey Mulethi Fragrance Oil: A Herbal-Sweet Scent for Your Handmade Range
Amla Honey Mulethi Fragrance Oil is a scented oil that blends tangy green freshness, natural honey sweetness and a warm herbal depth, made for adding aroma to soaps, candles, bath and body products. It is a fragrance oil (a scenting ingredient), not a pure essential oil, and it is meant for topical and craft use rather than eating.
Azlok stocks this India-made oil in sizes from a 100 gm bottle right up to 20 KG for small businesses, starting at ₹299. The scent opens with a fresh herbal, slightly fruity lift, settles into honey sweetness with a mild milky-floral undertone, and dries down to a soft woody, powdery base.
What it smells like
Think of the clean, slightly tart note of amla, softened by golden honey and grounded by the earthy warmth of mulethi (liquorice root). The overall effect is natural rather than sharp or synthetic, which makes it easy to work into a wellness or Ayurveda-inspired product line.
- Top note: fresh herbal with a little fruity lift
- Middle note: honey sweetness and a mild milky-floral undertone
- Base note: soft woody and powdery tone
Where you can use it
This fragrance oil is versatile across rinse-off and leave-on formulations. Common applications include:
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soaps
- Bath bombs and bath salts
- Body scrubs, both facial and body
- Creams, lotions and body butters
- Shower gels, shampoos and conditioners
- Lip balms and lipsticks
- Scented candles, wax melts and reed diffusers
How to use it
Fragrance oils are strong, so a little goes a long way. Always follow the guideline usage rate for your product type and the safe limits set by your formulation standards.
- Soap: roughly 2–3% of the total batch weight is a common starting point.
- Candles: around 6–10% by wax weight, added at the correct temperature so the scent binds properly.
- Lotions and creams: keep it low, often under 1%, and stir in during the cool-down stage.
- Bath bombs: a small percentage is enough; over-dosing can affect the fizz.
Add the oil towards the end of your process, mix thoroughly for an even scent, and test a small batch before scaling up. Because it can cause slight acceleration or discolouration in some recipes, a trial run saves you from wasting a full batch.
Safety notes
Handle fragrance oils with the same care you would any concentrated cosmetic ingredient.
- This is a fragrance oil for external use only. Do not ingest it or use it to flavour food.
- Never apply the neat oil directly to skin. Always dilute it within a finished product at safe levels.
- Do a small patch test on finished products before regular use, as fragrance can cause sensitivity in some people.
- Work in a well-ventilated space and keep it away from open flames while handling.
- Store out of reach of children and pets.
- Ask for the MSDS, COA and allergen information from your supplier and keep them on file, especially if you sell your products.
Buying and storage tips
Choose your pack size to match how quickly you go through fragrance. A 100 gm bottle suits hobbyists testing a new scent, while 5 KG to 20 KG packs work for makers running regular production. Buying larger usually brings down the per-gram cost.
To protect the aroma, store the oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the cap tightly closed to slow evaporation and oxidation. Kept well, it has a shelf life of around two years. If the colour deepens slightly over time, that is normal for many fragrance oils and does not always mean it has spoiled, though the scent may weaken near the end of its life.
FAQ
Is Amla Honey Mulethi Fragrance Oil safe for skin?
It is designed for use in skin-care and body products at safe dilution levels, not for direct application undiluted. Follow recommended usage rates, patch-test the finished product, and stop use if irritation appears.
Can I use it in candles and soap both?
Yes. It suits candles, wax melts, soaps, bath bombs and body care. Just adjust the dosage for each format, since candles take a higher percentage than lotions.
Is this the same as amla essential oil?
No. This is a fragrance oil created to give an amla-honey-mulethi scent. It is a blended aroma ingredient, whereas an essential oil is distilled from a single plant. Use it for scenting, not for aromatherapy claims.
Can I eat it or use it in food?
No. It is strictly for external cosmetic and craft use. Do not ingest it or add it to anything edible.
How much should I add to a batch?
Start low and follow the guideline rate for your product—commonly about 2–3% in soap and 6–10% in candles. Always test a small batch first before committing to a large one.
