Green Tea Fragrance Oil: A Crisp, Fresh Scent for Candles, Soaps and Skincare

Azlok Green Tea Fragrance Oil is a liquid, pale yellow to amber scent oil that captures the fresh, green and citrusy aroma of green tea leaves. It is made for scenting candles, soaps, bath bombs, scrubs, creams and perfume oils ot just Rs 429 for a 100 gm pack \u2014 not for eating or drinking.

If you have ever wanted your home-made products to smell clean, crisp and slightly herbal without being heavy or sweet, this is a reliable go-to. The scent opens bright, settles into something soft and floral, and dries down gently \u2014 which makes it flexible across a lot of projects.

What Green Tea Fragrance Oil smells like

This is a fragrance oil, not an essential oil. It has been formulated to recreate the aroma of green tea derived from Camellia sinensis leaves, alongside a citrus lift. The result is a complex, layered scent that unfolds over time:

• Top notes: Bergamot, lemon and green leafy freshness \u2014 the first bright, zesty hit.
• Middle notes: Soft herbal and lightly floral tones that give it body.
• Base notes: Soft white musk with a light woody finish that lingers gently.

People often describe it as energising and crisp, a little sweeter than raw green tea, with a mellow vegetal close. It works well in unisex and spa-style blends.

What you can make with it

Because it plays nicely across formats, this fragrance oil suits both cold-process and melt-and-pour makers:

• Candles: Soy, beeswax and paraffin blends. Add at the correct temperature for your wax.
• Soaps: Cold-process, hot-process and melt-and-pour bars.
• Bath bombs and fizzy bath products.
• Body and facial scrubs, creams and lotions.
• Lip balms and lipsticks where a light scent is wanted.
• Perfume oils and roll-ons, diluted in a carrier.

How to use it

The right amount depends on the product and always on the manufacturer's or your own tested guidelines. As a general approach:

1. Start small. For skincare and body products, fragrance is usually a fraction of a percent to around 1% of the total weight. For candles, follow your wax supplier's recommended load.
2. Weigh, don't guess. Use a digital scale rather than eyeballing drops for consistent results.
3. Add at the right stage. In candles, add to melted wax at the temperature your wax recommends. In soap, add at trace or at the melt stage.
4. Cure and test. Let candles and soaps cure fully before judging the throw and staying power.

Safety notes worth reading

Fragrance oils are concentrated. A little care goes a long way:

• Do not ingest. This is a cosmetic and craft-grade fragrance, not a food flavouring.
• Patch test any leave-on skin product before regular use, and follow safe usage percentages.
• Work in a ventilated space and avoid prolonged skin contact with the neat oil.
• Keep away from children and pets, and store away from open flames.
• Request the MSDS and allergen information from Azlok if you sell finished products and need it for labelling.

Buying and storage tips

Azlok stocks this fragrance oil in a wide range of pack sizes \u2014 100 GM, 500 GM, 1 KG, 5 KG, 10 KG and 20 KG \u2014 so hobbyists and small businesses can both buy sensibly. If you are new to it, start with the 100 GM pack, test it in your recipe, and scale up once you like the throw.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Keep the cap tightly closed to slow evaporation and scent loss.
• Shelf life is around 2 years when stored well.
• Buy quantities you will realistically use within that window.

FAQ

Is Green Tea Fragrance Oil the same as green tea essential oil?

No. This is a formulated fragrance oil designed to recreate the green tea aroma. It is not a steam-distilled essential oil and should be treated as a scent ingredient for candles, soaps and cosmetics.

Can I use it directly on my skin?

Not undiluted. It should be blended into a finished product or a carrier at safe usage levels. Always patch test leave-on products first.

Is it safe to add to food or drinks?

No. It is meant for external craft and cosmetic use only and must not be ingested.

Which colour and consistency should I expect?

It is a liquid that ranges from pale yellow to amber. Slight variation in shade is normal and does not affect performance.

How much should I add to candles or soap?

Follow your wax or soap base supplier's recommended fragrance load, and always test a small batch first. Starting low and adjusting up gives the most reliable results.
