Bamboo Fragrance Oil is a fresh, green scent designed for candle and soap making, bath bombs, scrubs and other external-use body products. It is a pale yellow to clear liquid with a crisp bamboo-forest character, and Azlok stocks it in sizes from 100 grams right up to 20 kilograms, starting at around ₹399.
What Bamboo Fragrance Oil smells like
This is a clean, outdoorsy blend rather than a heavy floral. It opens bright and citrusy, softens into a light floral heart, and settles on an earthy, woody base. The full scent profile is:
- Top notes: Bergamot and grapefruit
- Heart notes: Jasmine and lily of the valley
- Base notes: Vetiver and musk
The result feels like a walk through a shaded bamboo grove after rain: crisp on top, calm and grounded underneath. It suits people who prefer nature-inspired scents over sweet or gourmand ones.
What you can make with it
Being a fragrance oil, it is formulated for a wide range of craft and cosmetic bases. Common uses include:
- Scented candles (soy, beeswax, paraffin and blends)
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soaps
- Bath bombs and bath salts
- Body and facial scrubs
- Creams and lotions
- Lip balms and lipsticks
- Perfume oils and roll-ons
How to use it
Fragrance load depends on the base, so always start conservative and test a small batch first.
- Candles: A typical fragrance load is around 6–10% of the wax weight. Add the oil once the melted wax cools to the recommended temperature (usually about 60–70°C for soy), stir gently for a minute or two, then pour.
- Soap: Use roughly 2–3% of your total batch weight. For cold-process soap, add at light trace and work quickly, as citrus and floral blends can affect trace time.
- Bath bombs and scrubs: A few drops per batch is usually enough. Blend evenly so the scent is consistent throughout.
- Perfume oils: Dilute in a carrier such as fractionated coconut oil before applying to skin. Keep the fragrance concentration low.
Because scent strength varies with wick, wax and additives, keep notes on your ratios so you can repeat a batch that works well.
