Azlok's Fruity Fresh Fragrance Oil is a bright, citrusy scent oil made for external DIY use in soaps, candles, scrubs, shower gels and bath products. It opens with a juicy orange and sharp lemon burst, settles into a sweet fruity-citrus body, and dries down to a soft musk warmth. Prices start at around ₹249, with pack sizes from 100 GM up to 25 KG for hobbyists and small businesses alike.
What Fruity Fresh Fragrance Oil smells like
The name is honest. This is a clean, zesty citrus blend that reads as fresh rather than sugary. Here is how the scent unfolds:
- Top notes: a strong juicy orange burst, sharp lemony freshness, a sparkling aldehydic lift and a fruity tangy effect.
- Middle notes: a sweet fruity-citrus body with a slight green-citrus twist.
- Base notes: soft sweet warmth rounded off with a clean musk.
The oil is a liquid that ranges from yellow to dark yellow, so it may add a slight tint to very pale bases. It's made in India and carries a shelf life of about two years when stored well.
What you can make with it
Fruity Fresh is a versatile fragrance oil suited to a wide range of bath, body and home projects:
- Bath bombs and bath salts
- Cold and melt-and-pour soaps
- Body and facial scrubs
- Shower gels, shampoos and conditioners
- Creams and lotions
- Lip balms and lipsticks (external cosmetic use only)
- Scented candles and wax melts
- Room and reed diffusers, or homemade linen sprays
Because citrus scents feel clean and energising, this oil works nicely in morning-shower products and kitchen-adjacent items like hand washes.
How to use it
A little goes a long way with fragrance oils, so start low and adjust. General maker guidelines:
- Soap: roughly 2 to 3% of your total batch weight. For 1 kg of soap base, that's about 20 to 30 g.
- Candles: around 6 to 8% of the wax weight, added at the correct temperature for your wax type and stirred gently for even distribution.
- Lotions, creams and shower gels: usually 0.5 to 1%, or as your formulation allows.
- Scrubs and bath bombs: a few drops per batch, adjusting to your nose.
Always run a small test batch first. Citrus notes can behave differently across bases and can fade faster than heavier fragrances, so blending with a touch of a base note or an anchoring wax helps the scent last.
Safety notes you should follow
This is a fragrance oil for external use only. Please treat it with care:
- Do not ingest it and keep it away from the eyes, as it may cause irritation.
- Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
- Do a small patch test before using any new leave-on product on skin.
- Follow safe usage percentages for the specific product you're making, and don't over-fragrance.
- Work in a ventilated area and store away from open flame; fragrance oils are flammable.
Buying and storage tips
Choose your pack size to match how often you make. The 100 GM bottle suits hobbyists testing a new scent, while the 5 KG to 25 KG drums are meant for small businesses producing regularly. To protect the fragrance:
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Keep the cap tightly closed to prevent evaporation of the top notes.
- Use within the two-year shelf life for the best scent throw.
Azlok supplies this fragrance oil in multiple sizes so you can scale from your first trial batch to full production without switching suppliers. If you're new to fragrance work, buy small first, test in your actual base, then size up.
FAQ
Can I use Fruity Fresh Fragrance Oil on my skin directly?
No. It's a fragrance oil meant to be added into finished products like lotions, soaps and scrubs at safe percentages, not applied neat to skin. Always patch-test the final product.
Is it safe for candles?
Yes. It's suitable for candles and wax melts. Add it at your wax's recommended fragrance temperature, typically around 6 to 8% of the wax weight, and stir well.
Will it change the colour of my soap or lotion?
The oil ranges from yellow to dark yellow, so it can add a faint tint to very pale bases. If a pure white finish matters, test a small batch first.
How long does the scent last?
Citrus fragrances are lively but can be shorter-lived than heavy floral or gourmand scents. Storing the bottle cool and sealed, and anchoring the blend in your recipe, helps the scent hold longer.
What is the shelf life?
About two years when stored in a cool, dry place with the cap closed and away from sunlight and heat.
