Rosewood & Citrus Fragrance Oil: A Fresh Woody Scent for Candles, Soaps and Scrubs
Azlok's Rosewood & Citrus Fragrance Oil is a ready-to-use scented oil that pairs the soft, warm woodiness of rosewood with a bright, zesty citrus top note. It is made for craft and cosmetic projects — think candles, soaps, bath bombs, scrubs, lotions and perfume oils — not for eating or drinking. A 100 GM bottle starts at ₹399, and larger packs go up to 20 KG for small businesses.
What Rosewood & Citrus Fragrance Oil smells like
The scent opens fresh and sparkling, thanks to the citrus top notes. As it settles, a soft, slightly rosy woodiness comes through in the heart, and it finishes on a smooth woody, gently musky base. The overall impression is clean and rejuvenating rather than heavy or sweet — a good pick if you want something uplifting that still feels grounded. The oil itself is a pale yellow to clear liquid.
Where you can use it
This is a versatile fragrance oil suited to both home and body-care projects. Common uses include:
- Candles and wax melts — soy, beeswax or paraffin blends
- Bath bombs and bath salts
- Cold and melt-and-pour soaps
- Body and facial scrubs
- Creams and lotions
- Lip balms and lipsticks
- Roll-on perfume oils and reed diffusers
How to use it
A little goes a long way with fragrance oils, so measure by weight and start low. General starting guidance:
- Candles: around 6–10% of the wax weight, added at the right temperature for your wax type, then stirred well.
- Soaps: roughly 3% of your total oils; always check that the fragrance is soap-safe for your recipe and do a small test batch first.
- Scrubs, creams and lotions: a low percentage, usually under 1–2% of the total, adjusted to your comfort.
- Lip balms and lipsticks: use very sparingly, since these are used near the mouth.
Add the oil at the end of your process, mix thoroughly for an even scent, and let your finished product cure or set as your recipe recommends. Because it is a concentrated fragrance, avoid the temptation to overdose — too much can affect how candles burn or how soaps trace.
Safety notes
Fragrance oils are for external and craft use only. Please keep these points in mind:
- Do not ingest, and keep away from eyes.
- Patch-test any leave-on skin product on a small area before regular use.
- Keep the bottle out of reach of children and pets.
- Work in a ventilated space and wipe up spills promptly.
- Ask for the MSDS and allergen information before using it in cosmetics, and follow the recommended usage limits for each application.
- Store away from open flames, as fragrance oil is flammable.
Buying and storage
The oil comes in sizes from 100 GM up to 20 KG, so you can buy a small bottle to trial a recipe or a bulk pack once you know it works for you. Store it in a cool, dry place, tightly capped and away from direct sunlight and heat. Kept well, it has a shelf life of about two years. If you notice a big change in colour or smell, it's best to retire that batch. When you order from Azlok, request the COA and MSDS if your product line needs documentation.
FAQ
Can I use Rosewood & Citrus Fragrance Oil directly on my skin?
No. It is a concentrated fragrance oil meant to be blended into a base — such as a carrier oil, cream, balm or soap — at a low percentage. Never apply it neat, and always patch-test the finished product.
Is this the same as an essential oil?
No. This is a fragrance oil, which is formulated for consistent, long-lasting scent in candles, soaps and cosmetics. Essential oils are distilled from plants. Fragrance oils and essential oils are used differently, so follow fragrance-oil usage rates for this product.
How much should I add to candles?
A common starting range is about 6–10% of the wax weight, depending on your wax. Add it at the correct temperature for your wax, stir thoroughly, and test a small batch to check scent throw and burn.
Is it safe for soap?
It is listed as suitable for soaps, but soap chemistry varies. Use around 3% of your oils, make a small test batch first, and note that citrusy fragrances can behave differently in cold-process soap.
How long does it last once opened?
Roughly two years when stored in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed and away from sunlight and heat. Discard it if the colour or aroma changes noticeably.
