Dove Fragrance Oil is a soft, creamy soap-style scent inspired by the well-known Dove beauty bar, and it works beautifully in soaps, bath bombs, scrubs, creams and perfume oils. It opens with a clean aldehydic freshness, settles into gentle rose and jasmine, and finishes on warm, powdery musk. At Azlok it starts at Rs.409, with pack sizes from 100 gm right up to 25 kg for small businesses.
If you love that fresh-from-the-shower, just-washed feeling, this is the fragrance that captures it. It smells familiar and comforting rather than loud, which makes it easy to blend into almost any product.
What Dove Fragrance Oil smells like
The scent unfolds in three stages, so it stays interesting from the moment you open the bottle to hours later on skin or in a burning candle.
- Top note: clean, slightly fresh aldehydic. This is the crisp, soapy sparkle you notice first.
- Middle note: soft floral rose and jasmine, adding a gentle, elegant character.
- Base note: creamy, powdery musk that gives warmth, smoothness and staying power.
The oil itself is a liquid, colourless to slightly yellow, so it won't dramatically alter the shade of your finished product.
What you can make with it
This is a versatile fragrance oil suited to both cosmetic and home projects. Common uses include:
- Cold and melt-and-pour soaps
- Bath bombs and bath salts
- Body and facial scrubs
- Lotions, creams and body butters
- Lip balms and lipsticks
- Perfume oils and roll-ons
- Scented candles and wax melts
Because the scent reads as clean and fresh, it suits everyday self-care ranges and gift products that need broad appeal.
How to use it
Fragrance oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Exact rates depend on your recipe and local guidelines, but as a general starting point:
- Soaps: around 2-3% of your total batch weight. Add at trace for cold process, or just before pouring for melt-and-pour.
- Candles: roughly 6-8% of wax weight, added at the correct temperature for your wax so the scent binds well.
- Scrubs, lotions and creams: usually under 1%, added once the mixture has cooled.
- Perfume oils: dilute in a carrier such as fractionated coconut oil, typically 10-20% fragrance depending on strength wanted.
Always weigh rather than guess, and make a small test batch before scaling up. Different bases can shift how a fragrance behaves.
Safety notes worth reading
Dove Fragrance Oil is for external, cosmetic and home-craft use only. Please keep these points in mind:
- Do not ingest, and keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
- Patch-test any new leave-on product on a small area of skin before regular use.
- Do not apply the neat fragrance oil directly to skin; always dilute it into a finished product.
- Follow safe usage percentages, especially for lip and facial products.
- Work in a ventilated space and avoid contact with eyes.
- Request the MSDS and allergen information from the supplier if you are making products to sell.
Buying and storage tips
Choose your pack size to match how often you make. A 100 gm bottle is ideal for testing and small hobby batches, while the 5 kg to 25 kg options suit soap and candle businesses producing in volume. Buying larger packs usually brings down the per-gram cost.
Store the oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, with the cap tightly closed to prevent evaporation and scent loss. Kept well, it has a shelf life of about two years. Azlok supplies this fragrance oil made in India, so you can restock consistent batches for your range.
FAQ
Can Dove Fragrance Oil be used on skin directly?
No. It must be diluted into a finished product such as a cream, lotion or perfume oil at a safe percentage. Never apply the concentrated oil neat to skin.
Is it suitable for candles as well as soaps?
Yes. It works in candles, wax melts, soaps, bath bombs, scrubs and body care. Just adjust the usage rate for each application.
Will it change the colour of my product?
The oil is colourless to slightly yellow, so it has minimal effect on colour. Very pale or white bases may take on a faint tint at higher usage.
How long does the fragrance last?
The musk base gives good staying power. In finished products, longevity depends on your recipe, usage rate and how the item is stored.
What is the shelf life?
About two years when stored in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly closed and away from sunlight.
