Nargis Fragrance Oil is a fresh floral scent oil with soft green top notes, a lily-of-the-valley and rose heart, and a sweet, creamy musky base. It is made for craft and cosmetic use — candles, soaps, incense, diffusers and skincare formulations — not for drinking or applying neat to the skin. Think of it as the classic narcissus-inspired aroma that feels clean, elegant and quietly comforting.
What Nargis Fragrance Oil smells like
The scent opens with a green freshness, almost like crushed stems and dew. That gives way to a rich muguet (lily of the valley) and rose floral heart that reads clean, watery and slightly soapy in the nicest way. Underneath it all sits a sweet, creamy, musky base that lingers and rounds off the sharper florals. The oil itself is a liquid, colorless to slightly yellow, so it won't heavily tint pale bases.
Common uses
- Candles: Blends well into soy, coconut or paraffin wax for a long-lasting floral throw.
- Soaps and bath products: Bath bombs, body scrubs and cold- or melt-and-pour soap.
- Skincare and personal care: Creams, lotions, lip balms, lipsticks and perfume oils, at safe dilution.
- Home fragrance: Reed diffusers, room sprays and incense.
How to use it
Fragrance load depends on the product, so always measure by weight rather than guessing.
- Candles: Add roughly 6–10% of the wax weight, stirring in at the temperature your wax recommends (often around 60–65°C for soy) before pouring.
- Soap: Around 2–3% of the total batch weight. For cold-process soap, test a small batch first, as florals can affect trace and colour.
- Diffusers: Blend with a suitable diffuser base or carrier at about 15–25%, adjusting to how strong you like the throw.
- Skincare and perfume oils: Keep concentrations low. For leave-on products, follow standard IFRA-style limits for the category and always patch-test the finished item.
Start with the lower end of any range. You can add more, but you cannot take fragrance back out once it is in the batch.
Safety notes worth reading
Fragrance oils are concentrated, so treat them with respect.
- Do not ingest, and do not apply the neat oil directly to skin — always dilute in a finished product.
- Patch-test any leave-on cosmetic before regular use, especially on sensitive skin.
- Work in a well-ventilated space and avoid contact with eyes.
- Keep away from children, pets and open flames while handling.
- Ask for the MSDS and allergen information if you are formulating products to sell, so you can label them correctly.
Buying and storage tips
Azlok offers Nargis Fragrance Oil from a 100 gm bottle up to 20 kg, starting at ₹399, which makes it easy to sample before committing to a larger pack for regular production. Pick the size that matches how quickly you go through fragrance — small for testing, bulk for a running candle or soap line.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Keep the cap tightly closed to prevent evaporation and scent loss.
- Use within the roughly 2-year shelf life for the best strength.
- Label decanted bottles clearly with the name and date.
FAQ
Is Nargis Fragrance Oil natural or synthetic?
It is a fragrance oil, which means it is a crafted aroma blend created to reproduce the narcissus-inspired scent. It is designed for candles, soaps, diffusers and cosmetic formulations rather than as a pure botanical essential oil.
Can I put Nargis Fragrance Oil directly on my skin?
No. Always dilute it within a finished product such as a cream, balm or perfume oil at safe levels, and patch-test before regular use. Never apply the concentrated oil neat.
How much should I use in candles?
A common range is 6–10% of the wax weight. Add it at the temperature your wax recommends and stir thoroughly so the fragrance binds evenly.
Will it change the colour of my soap or candle?
The oil is colorless to slightly yellow, so it usually has minimal effect on pale bases. Some florals can cause slight discolouration over time, so run a small test batch if colour matters to you.
How long does it last once opened?
Stored cool, dry and tightly capped, it keeps well for about two years. Warmth, light and loose caps shorten that, so reseal it promptly after each use.
