The Azlok Autumn Fragrance Oils Sample Kit is a set of five 10 ml fragrance oils — Bitter Orange & Cinnamon, Amber, Warm Woods, Cedar & Oakmoss and Coffee Cake — chosen to give hobby makers a ready palette of cosy, fall-inspired scents for candles, soap, lotion, bath bombs and scrubs. At ₹499 for all five, it's an easy, low-commitment way to test a full seasonal range before you commit to larger bottles.
What's inside the kit
Each bottle holds 10 ml, so you get 50 ml of fragrance in total. The oils are vegan, and phthalate- and paraben-free. Here's a quick sense of each scent:
- Bitter Orange & Cinnamon — bright citrus lifted by warm baking spice. A classic festive note.
- Amber — soft, resinous and slightly sweet; a rounded base that suits both candles and soap.
- Warm Woods — a blended woody accord that feels grounded and comforting.
- Cedar & Oakmoss — dry cedarwood with a green, earthy oakmoss edge. Popular in masculine-leaning blends.
- Coffee Cake — a gourmand favourite: roasted coffee with a bakery sweetness.
What you can make with them
Fragrance oils are versatile, and these five cover most home projects:
- Candles — soy, coconut or paraffin wax all take these scents well.
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soap — for scented bars.
- Lotions and body butters — a light touch goes a long way.
- Bath bombs — pairs nicely with the amber and coffee cake notes.
- Coffee and sugar scrubs — the Coffee Cake oil is a natural match.
How to use fragrance oils correctly
Getting the amount right is the difference between a subtle, pleasant product and one that's overpowering or unstable. General starting guidelines for hobby use:
- Candles: around 6–10% of your wax weight. For 100 g of wax, that's roughly 6–10 g of oil. Add it once the wax reaches the temperature your wax supplier recommends, usually around 60–65°C, and stir gently for a minute or two.
- Soap: follow the fragrance load your recipe allows — commonly up to 3% of oils. Always check that a scent behaves in cold-process soap by making a small test batch first.
- Lotions and scrubs: keep it light, typically under 1–2%. These sit directly on skin, so less is more.
Because a sample kit gives you small quantities, it's ideal for making one or two test batches of each project before you buy full-size bottles.
Safety notes worth reading
Fragrance oils are for external, crafted products only.
- Do not ingest them, and keep them away from eyes.
- These are fragrance oils, not essential oils, and are not intended for aromatherapy applied neat to skin. Always use them within a finished product at safe rates.
- Do a small patch test on skin with your finished lotion or soap before regular use.
- Work in a ventilated space and keep the bottles out of reach of children and pets.
- Store away from open flames — the concentrated oil is flammable until it's blended into your product.
Buying and storage tips
A sample kit like this one from Azlok is the sensible way to build a scent wardrobe without spending on 100 ml bottles you may not love. Once you've picked favourites, scale up only those.
- Keep bottles tightly capped, upright, and away from direct sunlight and heat.
- A cool, dark cupboard preserves the scent longest.
- Label any test batches with the oil name, percentage and date so you can repeat your best results.
- Most fragrance oils keep well for a year or more when stored properly, though top notes can fade over time.
FAQ
How many candles can I make with a 10 ml bottle?
At a 6–10% fragrance load, 10 ml (roughly 9–10 g) is enough for about 100–160 g of wax — so one or two small tester candles per scent. That's exactly what a sample kit is meant for.
Are these fragrance oils the same as essential oils?
No. Fragrance oils are formulated scent blends made for candles, soap and cosmetics. Essential oils are plant extracts. This kit is fragrance oils, so use them within finished products rather than applying them directly to skin.
Are the oils skin-safe for soap and lotion?
They are phthalate- and paraben-free and commonly used in bath and body products. Use them at recommended rates, patch-test your finished item, and follow your recipe's fragrance load.
Can I mix the scents together?
Yes. Blending is half the fun — try Amber with Warm Woods, or Coffee Cake with a touch of Bitter Orange & Cinnamon. Blend in small test amounts first and note your ratios.
How long do the fragrance oils last in storage?
Kept cool, dark and tightly sealed, they generally stay usable for a year or more. Lighter citrus notes may soften first, so use the Bitter Orange & Cinnamon sooner rather than later.
