Golden Apple Fragrance Oil is a ready-to-use scented oil with a fresh, sweet-and-tangy apple aroma, made for external DIY projects like candles, soaps, bath bombs and body care. At Azlok it starts at around ₹399 for a 100 GM pack, and it is meant strictly for external use, never for eating or applying near the eyes.
What Golden Apple Fragrance Oil smells like
The scent leads with crisp, ripe apple and prominent green leaf notes, softened by pear and plum in the middle. A quiet base of sweet vanilla and bourbon rounds it off so the fragrance feels fruity but not sharp. In practical terms, it reads as fresh, earthy and lightly sweet — the kind of aroma that works year-round rather than only in one season.
The oil itself is a liquid that ranges from colourless to slightly yellow, so it won't heavily tint pale bases. Its INCI reference is Malus Domestica 'Golden Delicious', and it is made in India.
Where you can use it
This is a versatile cosmetic-grade fragrance oil suited to a wide range of leave-on and rinse-off products:
- Bath and body: bath bombs, body scrubs, facial scrubs, creams and lotions
- Cleansing products: shower gels, shampoos and conditioners
- Lip products: lip balms and lipsticks (external use only)
- Candles and melts: soy or paraffin container candles and wax melts
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soap
How to use it
Fragrance oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Start small and adjust:
- Follow a usage rate. For most leave-on skin products, keep fragrance around 0.5–1% of the total weight. For rinse-off items like soap and shower gel, you can usually go a little higher. In candles, typical loads are 6–10% depending on your wax.
- Add at the right temperature. For candles, stir the oil in once the melted wax has cooled slightly (as per your wax's recommendation) so the scent doesn't burn off.
- Blend thoroughly. Mix evenly into your base to avoid patchy scent or oily spots.
- Cure and test. Let candles and cold-process soap cure fully, then do a small test burn or sniff before scaling up a batch.
Because it plays well with fruity and gourmand accords, Golden Apple pairs nicely with vanilla, caramel, cinnamon or a touch of citrus if you want a warmer or brighter twist.
Safety notes worth reading
Fragrance oils are safe when used sensibly, but a few rules matter:
- External use only. Do not consume it, and keep it away from the eyes as it can irritate.
- Patch-test finished products. Apply a small amount to your inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use, since fragrance can cause sensitivity in some people.
- Respect usage limits. More fragrance is not better — over-dosing can irritate skin and affect candle burn.
- Keep out of reach of children and store away from open flames.
- Check the MSDS and any allergen information for the batch if you sell your products, and label finished goods clearly.
Buying and storage tips
Azlok offers Golden Apple Fragrance Oil in sizes from 100 GM up to 20 KG, so hobbyists and small businesses can buy according to how much they actually use. If you're testing a new recipe, start with the 100 GM pack; move to bulk once you've settled on a formula.
Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Kept this way, the oil has a shelf life of about 2 years. Always use clean, dry tools when measuring to avoid contaminating the oil.
FAQ
Can I apply Golden Apple Fragrance Oil directly to my skin?
No. It should be blended into a finished product such as a lotion, balm or soap at a safe usage rate, not applied neat. Always patch-test the finished product first.
Is it safe to eat or use as a flavour?
No. This is a fragrance oil for external use only. Do not consume it or use it in food.
How much should I add to candles?
Most makers use roughly 6–10% fragrance by weight, depending on the wax. Add it once the wax has cooled to the manufacturer's recommended temperature, then stir well.
Will it change the colour of my product?
The oil is colourless to slightly yellow, so it usually has minimal effect. In very pale bases it may add a faint tint, so test a small batch if colour matters.
How long does it last?
About two years when stored in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly closed and away from sunlight and heat.
