The Azlok 5 Earthy Fragrance Oils Sample Kit is a set of five grounding, nature-inspired scents — Amber, Vetiver, Ice and Age, Bay Rum and Vanilla Tonka — supplied in 10 ml bottles each, made to scent handmade soaps, candles, lotions, bath bombs and body scrubs. At ₹499 it's a low-risk way to test warm, woody aromas before you commit to larger bottles.
What's inside the kit
Each of the five oils has its own personality, which is exactly why a sample kit is useful. You get to smell them side by side and decide what suits your project.
- Amber Fragrance — warm, resinous and a little sweet; a classic base note.
- Vetiver Fragrance — deep, smoky and rooty, with a proper earthy backbone.
- Ice and Age Fragrance — cool and crisp against the warmer notes, good for balance.
- Bay Rum Fragrance — spicy, barbershop-style, popular in men's soaps and beard products.
- Vanilla Tonka Fragrance — creamy, sweet and comforting, softens sharper blends.
The oils are vegan, and free from phthalates and parabens. They are fragrance oils, not essential oils, so they are meant for scenting products — not for internal use or aromatherapy claims.
How to use earthy fragrance oils
Fragrance oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Always work to the recommended usage rate for the specific product you are making, and weigh rather than guess.
- Candles: Add fragrance to melted wax at the temperature your wax manufacturer recommends (often around 55–65°C), typically at 6–10% of wax weight. Stir well for even scent throw.
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soap: Use roughly 3% of oils by weight. Note that vanilla-heavy scents like Vanilla Tonka can discolour soap to tan or brown over time — this is normal.
- Lotions and creams: Keep it light, usually under 1%, and add during the cooling phase.
- Bath bombs: Add drop by drop to your dry mix and blend fast so the mixture doesn't fizz early.
- Coffee and sugar scrubs: Vanilla Tonka and Amber pair beautifully with used coffee grounds.
Simple blending ideas
With five scents you can build layered fragrances. Try Vetiver with Vanilla Tonka for a smoky-sweet candle, or Bay Rum with Amber for a rich shaving bar. A touch of Ice and Age lifts any blend that feels too heavy.
Safety notes worth reading
Fragrance oils are for external, made-up products only. Please keep these points in mind:
- Do not ingest, and do not apply undiluted oil directly to skin.
- Always patch-test a finished product on a small area before regular use.
- Work in a ventilated space and avoid prolonged breathing of concentrated vapours.
- Keep bottles well away from children and pets.
- Store away from open flames — fragrance oils are flammable in concentrate.
- If you sell your products, follow the correct usage rates and label with an ingredient list.
Buying and storage tips
A sample kit like this one from Azlok is the sensible starting point if you are new to fragrance oils or want to test scents before scaling up. Ten millilitres is enough for several small test batches.
- Store bottles upright in a cool, dark cupboard, tightly capped.
- Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat, which can weaken the scent.
- Label your batches with the oil name and date so you can track how each performs.
- Fragrance oils last well when stored properly, typically a year or more, though scent strength can fade over time.
FAQ
Are these fragrance oils the same as essential oils?
No. Fragrance oils are formulated scents designed for candles, soaps and cosmetics. They are not essential oils and are not intended for aromatherapy or internal use.
How much fragrance oil should I use in candles?
As a general guide, 6–10% of your wax weight works for most candle waxes. Always follow your specific wax supplier's maximum load and add the oil at the recommended pouring temperature.
Will Vanilla Tonka discolour my soap?
It can. Fragrances with vanilla notes often turn soap tan or brown as they cure. This is a normal chemical reaction and does not affect how the soap works.
Are the oils safe for skin products?
Yes, when used at the correct low percentages in properly made lotions, soaps and scrubs. Never apply them neat, and always patch-test the finished product first.
Is this kit good for beginners?
Very much so. Five 10 ml bottles let you experiment across candles, soaps and scrubs without buying full-size bottles, making it an easy first step into DIY fragrance work.
