The Azlok 5 Holiday Fragrance Oils Sample Kit is a set of five 10 ml bottles — Bitter Orange & Cinnamon, Vanilla & Tonka, Warmwood, Spicy Apple Pie and Gingerbread — made for testing warm, seasonal scents in candles, soaps, wax melts and diffusers before you buy larger bottles. At ₹849 for the kit, it is an affordable way to sample a full winter palette in one go.
What is in the kit
Each scent is chosen to capture a familiar side of the festive season:
- Bitter Orange & Cinnamon — bright citrus with a warm spice edge, the smell of mulled fruit.
- Vanilla & Tonka — sweet, creamy and slightly nutty, a comforting base note.
- Warmwood — a woody, resinous scent that grounds a blend and feels like a fireside evening.
- Spicy Apple Pie — baked apple, sugar and kitchen spices.
- Gingerbread — molasses, ginger and clove, the classic holiday bake.
You get 10 ml of each, which is plenty for several small test batches.
How to use holiday fragrance oils
Fragrance oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Usage depends on what you are making:
- Candles: Most soy and paraffin waxes take 6–10% fragrance load. Add oil once the melted wax has cooled to the temperature recommended for your wax, stir gently for two minutes, then pour.
- Wax melts: Similar to candles; a slightly higher load often gives a stronger cold throw.
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soap: Use the supplier or recipe guidance, typically around 3% of oil weight. Test a small batch first, as some fragrances behave differently in soap.
- Reed diffusers: Blend the oil with a suitable diffuser base and a little solvent as your recipe directs.
- Room and linen sprays: Combine with a carrier that disperses fragrance evenly; shake before each use.
Because you have five scents, try layering them. Vanilla & Tonka softens the sharpness of Bitter Orange & Cinnamon, while a touch of Warmwood adds depth to Gingerbread or Spicy Apple Pie.
Tips for better results
- Label every test batch with the scent, load percentage and date so you can repeat what works.
- Let candles and soaps cure before judging the scent — candles often need one to two weeks for the fragrance to settle.
- Start with a small blend when mixing scents; you can always add more.
- Keep notes on cold throw (unlit) versus hot throw (lit) — they can differ noticeably.
Safety notes
Fragrance oils are for external, craft use only.
- Do not ingest and do not apply undiluted oil directly to skin. If you are making skin products, follow safe usage rates and patch-test the finished item.
- Work in a well-ventilated space, especially when heating wax.
- Keep bottles tightly closed and away from children, pets and open flames.
- Avoid contact with eyes; rinse with water if splashes occur.
- These are fragrance oils, not essential oils, and are not intended for aromatherapy or medicinal use.
Buying and storage
A sample kit makes sense when you want to compare scents without spending on full-size bottles you may not use. Once you find your favourites from this set, you can move to larger quantities for production. Store the bottles upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat; well-kept fragrance oils generally hold their scent for a good while. Azlok stocks these holiday oils individually too, so restocking a single favourite is easy.

Not directly. They are concentrated craft fragrances. If used in skincare or soap, follow safe usage rates for the specific product and patch-test the finished item first.
How much fragrance oil should I add to a candle?
Most waxes take around 6–10% fragrance load. Check your specific wax's guidance and add the oil at the recommended pour temperature.

Yes. These holiday scents blend well — for example, Vanilla & Tonka rounds out Bitter Orange & Cinnamon, and Warmwood deepens Gingerbread. Start with small amounts and test.
