Honey Vanilla Fragrance Oil: A Warm Gourmand Scent for Candles, Soap and Body Care

Honey Vanilla Fragrance Oil is a sweet, warm gourmand scent oil used to add fragrance to candles, soaps, bath bombs and body care products. Azlok's version opens with sweet, slightly floral top notes, moves into a creamy heart, and settles on a base of soft vanilla, musk and warm honey. It is a liquid, brownish-yellow oil made in India, priced from Rs 399, and it is meant for scenting products rather than for eating or applying neat to the skin.

What Honey Vanilla smells like

Think of the comforting warmth of a bakery mixed with the smooth richness of vanilla. The fragrance is built in three layers:

• Top note: sweet, warm and slightly floral
• Heart note: smooth, creamy sweetness
• Base note: soft vanilla, musk and warm honey

The result is a cosy, rounded scent that suits autumn and winter ranges, gifting products and anything you want to feel a little indulgent.

What you can make with it

This fragrance oil is versatile across cold-process and melt-and-pour soap, candles and leave-on or wash-off cosmetics. It is suitable for:

• Bath bombs and bath salts
• Bath and body products, creams and lotions
• Lipsticks and lip balms
• Facial and body scrubs
• Shower gels, shampoos and conditioners
• Scented candles and wax melts

How to use it

A little goes a long way, so always start low and adjust to your recipe.

1. Candles: Add roughly 6–8% fragrance by weight of the wax, stirring it in at the correct temperature for your wax type, then pour.
2. Cold-process soap: Use around 3% of your total oils. Because vanilla-rich fragrances can darken soap over time, keep this in mind if you want a pale bar.
3. Lotions, gels and shampoos: Use about 0.5–1%, added to the cooled phase and blended well.
4. Lip balms and scrubs: Use sparingly, well within skin-safe limits, and mix thoroughly for an even scent.

Fragrance oils are highly concentrated. Always weigh rather than guess, and do a small test batch before scaling up a new recipe.

Safety notes worth reading

Fragrance oils are for external, formulated use only. Please treat this product with the same care you would any concentrated ingredient.

• Do not ingest and do not apply the oil undiluted to skin.
• Patch-test any finished skin product on a small area before regular use.
• Keep it away from children and pets, and away from open flames while handling.
• Work in a ventilated space and avoid contact with eyes.
• Vanilla-based fragrances can discolour white or light-coloured bases to cream or tan over time; this is normal and does not affect scent.
• Check the accompanying MSDS and any allergen information before formulating for sale.

Buying and storage tips

Azlok offers Honey Vanilla Fragrance Oil in sizes from 100 Gm up to 25 KG, so hobbyists making a single batch and small businesses running production can both buy sensibly. If you are testing a new product line, start with the 100 Gm or 500 Gm pack before committing to bulk.

To keep the scent fresh:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Keep the cap tightly closed to prevent evaporation and oxidation.
• Use within the 2-year shelf life for best performance.

Label your decanted bottles with the name and date, especially if you keep several fragrances on your shelf.

FAQ

Can I use Honey Vanilla Fragrance Oil directly on my skin?

No. It is a concentrated fragrance oil meant to be added to formulated products at safe levels. Do not apply it neat, and always patch-test the finished product.

How much should I add to candles?

A common range is 6–8% of the wax weight, but follow your specific wax manufacturer's maximum load and stir it in at the recommended temperature.

Will it change the colour of my soap?

Vanilla-rich fragrances often turn light soap bases cream or tan over time. This is expected. If you want a pale bar, plan your colour or use a vanilla stabiliser suited to your recipe.

Is this the same as an essential oil?

No. This is a fragrance oil, a blended scent designed for consistency and staying power in candles and cosmetics. It is not a single-plant essential oil.

What sizes are available?

Azlok stocks 100 Gm, 500 Gm, 1 KG, 5 KG, 10 KG, 20 KG and 25 KG, with pricing starting at Rs 399, so you can buy for a small batch or full production.
