Azlok's 6 Citrus Fragrance Oils Sample Kit gives you six bright, ready-to-use citrus scents in 10 ml bottles each, so you can test and blend before committing to a full bottle. It is built for DIY makers who want to add fresh, zesty aromas to soap, candles, lotions, bath bombs and coffee scrubs without buying large quantities upfront.
What's in the kit
Each kit contains six individual 10 ml bottles, giving you 60 ml of fragrance in total. The scents are:
- Tring Fragrance — a lively, mixed citrus note.
- Lemon Fragrance — clean and sharp, a classic.
- Lemon & Honey Fragrance — tart lemon softened with a warm, sweet edge.
- Ginger Lime Fragrance — zingy lime with a spicy ginger kick.
- Lime Orange Fragrance — juicy and rounded.
- Orange Energy Fragrance — bright, uplifting sweet orange.
The oils are vegan, and free from phthalates and parabens, which makes them a sensible choice for skin-contact projects like lotions and scrubs.
What you can make with them
Citrus is one of the most popular fragrance families because it reads as fresh and clean across almost any product. With this kit you can experiment with:
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soap — citrus holds up well and pairs nicely with exfoliants.
- Candles — soy, coconut or paraffin blends.
- Lotions and body butters — a light, fresh finish.
- Bath bombs — pairs beautifully with the fizz.
- Coffee scrubs and sugar scrubs — orange and lime work especially well here.
How to use fragrance oils
A little goes a long way, and the right amount depends on what you are making. As a general starting point:
- Candles: around 6–10% of your wax weight, added at the correct temperature for your wax type.
- Melt-and-pour soap: roughly 1–3% of the total weight.
- Lotions and scrubs: keep it low, generally under 1%, since these stay on the skin.
Because you have six scents to play with, try blending. A drop of Ginger Lime into Orange Energy, for example, adds warmth and depth. Always test small batches first and label everything, so you can repeat a blend you love. Fragrance oils are concentrated, so measure by weight where possible rather than guessing by drops.
Safety notes worth reading
Fragrance oils are for external, craft use only. Keep these points in mind:
- Do not ingest, and keep bottles away from children and pets.
- Always patch-test a finished skin product on a small area before regular use.
- Work in a well-ventilated space and avoid getting neat oil in your eyes.
- Stick to recommended usage rates for skin-contact products — more fragrance is not better and can cause irritation.
- For candles, keep fragrance within the level your wax can safely hold to avoid flashpoint and burn issues.
Buying and storage tips
A sample kit like this one from Azlok is the smart way to shortlist your favourites before ordering larger sizes, which saves money and cupboard space. Store the bottles tightly capped, upright, and away from direct sunlight and heat. A cool, dark drawer works well. Fragrance oils can degrade or fade if left in warm, bright conditions, so treat them like you would any other craft ingredient. Kept properly, they stay usable for a long time. Wipe any drips off the bottle necks so caps do not stick, and keep the original labels intact for easy identification.
FAQ
Are these fragrance oils safe for skin products?
They are phthalate- and paraben-free and suitable for leave-on and rinse-off products like lotions, soaps and scrubs when used at low, recommended rates. Always patch-test the finished product first.
How much fragrance oil should I add to candles?
Most candle waxes hold around 6–10% fragrance by weight. Check your specific wax's recommended maximum load and add the oil at the temperature the wax manufacturer suggests.
Can I mix these citrus scents together?
Yes. Blending is one of the main reasons to buy a sample kit. Start with small test batches, note your ratios, and scale up only once you are happy with the result.
How long will 10 ml last?
It depends on your project. For skin-contact items where usage is under 1%, a 10 ml bottle stretches across several batches. Candles use more, so you may finish a bottle faster.
Is the kit vegan?
Yes, the oils are vegan, and free from phthalates and parabens.
