Azlok's Pour Homme Inspired Designer Fragrance Oil is a concentrated oriental-woody scent oil that recreates the smoky, amber-rich character of the famous luxury men's fragrance, made for people who blend their own perfumes, attars and candles at home. It is phthalate-free, paraben-free and SLS/SLES-free, comes in 50 Gm, 100 Gm and 500 Gm sizes, and starts at ₹599.
This is not a ready-to-wear perfume in a bottle. It is a raw fragrance concentrate that you dilute or add to a base, which is exactly why hobbyists and small makers reach for it.
What it smells like
The blend opens with deep woody and smoky accords, then settles into warm amber with a whisper of spice. The result is intense, refined and long-lasting — the kind of scent that leaves a trail rather than fading in an hour. The oil itself is a pale yellow liquid with an oriental-woody profile, so it suits evening wear, cooler weather and anyone who likes a bold, masculine signature.
Common uses
- Alcohol-based perfumes and body sprays: the most popular use among DIY perfumers.
- Attars and roll-on blends: dilute in a carrier oil for a skin-friendly, portable scent.
- Candles: works well in soy, paraffin or blended wax when added at the right stage.
- Soaps and personal care: for scenting cold-process or melt-and-pour soaps, lotions and creams.
- Reed diffusers and room sprays: a little goes a long way in a diffuser base.
How to use it
Because this is a concentrate, dilution matters. As a general starting point:
- For perfumes: aim for roughly 15–25% fragrance oil in a perfumer's alcohol base, then let the blend rest (macerate) for two to four weeks so the notes settle.
- For attars and roll-ons: use around 10–20% oil in a light carrier such as fractionated coconut oil or jojoba.
- For candles: add about 6–10% by weight of the wax, stirring it in once the wax cools to the temperature your wax supplier recommends.
- For soaps and lotions: follow the usage rate suggested for your specific base, usually 1–3%.
Always start with a small test batch. Fragrance strength varies with the base you use, so note your ratios and adjust before scaling up.
Safety notes
Fragrance oils are for external, formulated use only. Please keep a few things in mind:
- Do not apply undiluted oil directly to skin. Always dilute in a suitable base.
- Patch-test any new skin product on your inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use.
- Do not ingest. This is not a food flavouring.
- Keep away from children and pets, and away from open flames while handling the neat oil.
- Work in a ventilated space and avoid contact with eyes.
Buying and storage
Choose your size based on your project. The 50 Gm pack is good for testing and small perfume batches, while 100 Gm and 500 Gm suit regular makers and small businesses. Store the oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, with the cap tightly closed to slow evaporation and keep the scent true. Kept well, it has a shelf life of about two years.
A quick honest note: Azlok's fragrances are created through chemical analysis and replication. Brand names are mentioned only as scent references — Azlok is not affiliated with any trademark owner. What you get is a close interpretation of the original scent, made for DIY use.
FAQ
Can I wear this fragrance oil directly on my skin?
Not neat. Dilute it in perfumer's alcohol or a carrier oil first, then patch-test before regular use.
Is it the same as the original Pour Homme perfume?
No. It is an inspired-by fragrance oil that closely matches the woody-amber profile of the original. It is a raw material for making your own products, not a branded finished perfume.
How much oil should I use in candles?
Around 6–10% of the wax weight works for most waxes. Add it once the wax has cooled to your supplier's recommended fragrance temperature, and stir well.
Is this fragrance oil safe for soap and cosmetics?
It is phthalate-free, paraben-free and SLS/SLES-free and is intended for perfumes, attars and cosmetic products. Follow standard usage rates for your specific base and test each batch.
How long does it last once opened?
Shelf life is about two years when stored in a cool, dry place with the cap sealed tightly, away from heat and sunlight.
