The Azlok Summer Fragrance Oils Sample Kit is a set of five 10 ml fragrance oils — Cool Blue, Mango, Ocean Breeze, Lemon and Honey, and Geranium & Sandalwood — meant for scenting candles, soaps, lotions, bath bombs and scrubs. At ₹499 for all five, it lets you test a range of summery aromas before committing to a large bottle of any single scent.
What's inside the kit
Each bottle holds 10 ml, so you get 50 ml of fragrance in total. The scents are chosen to capture the feel of summer, from bright citrus to breezy coastal notes:
- Cool Blue — a fresh, clean aroma that suits soaps and unisex candles.
- Mango — a juicy tropical fruit note, lovely in body butters and bath bombs.
- Ocean Breeze — an airy, coastal scent that works well in room candles.
- Lemon and Honey — a sweet-citrus blend that pairs nicely with scrubs and cold-process soap.
- Geranium & Sandalwood — a floral-woody combination for a slightly grown-up, grounding fragrance.
The oils are described as vegan, and free from phthalates and parabens, which many makers look for when creating products for sensitive-skin customers.
How to use them in your projects
Fragrance oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. General guidance across common crafts:
- Candles: add fragrance at the recommended temperature for your wax (often around 60–70°C for soy), typically at 6–10% of the wax weight. Stir gently for a full minute so the scent binds evenly.
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soap: usually 2–3% of the total batch weight. Add to melt-and-pour just before pouring so it doesn't flash off.
- Lotions and body butters: keep it light, around 0.5–1%, since these stay on the skin.
- Bath bombs and scrubs: a few drops per batch is enough; test and adjust to preference.
Because you get 10 ml of each, this kit is ideal for small test batches. Make a single candle or a small soap loaf, note the throw and how the scent behaves, then scale up your favourites.
Tips and safety notes
Fragrance oils are for external, craft use — they are not food flavourings and should not be eaten or added to food or drink. A few sensible habits:
- Always do a small patch test on skin before using any leave-on product widely, especially for family or customers.
- Follow the IFRA-style usage rates for the specific application; more fragrance does not always mean better throw and can irritate skin.
- Work in a ventilated space and keep oils away from open flames while pouring candles.
- Keep bottles out of reach of children and pets.
- Avoid contact with eyes; wash hands after handling neat oil.
Label every finished product with the scent and date — it saves confusion later, particularly if you are selling.
Buying and storage
Store the bottles tightly capped, upright, in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat. Fragrance oils generally keep well for a year or more when stored properly; citrus-forward blends can fade faster, so use Lemon and Honey and Cool Blue sooner rather than later. If an oil smells noticeably different or the colour has shifted a lot, it is past its best for finished products.
A sampler like this from Azlok is a practical starting point for hobbyists building a scent library, or for a small business deciding which summer fragrances to stock before buying larger quantities.
FAQ
How many candles or soaps can I make with 10 ml?
It depends on your recipe, but 10 ml is enough for roughly one to a few small test batches. For example, at a 3% usage rate you could scent around 300 g of soap or a small candle. Use it to trial each fragrance, then reorder your favourites in bigger sizes.
Are these fragrance oils safe for skin?
They are formulated for craft and cosmetic use at recommended dilution rates, and are described as phthalate- and paraben-free. Always dilute correctly for leave-on products and patch-test first. They are not meant to be applied neat or ingested.
Can I use these oils in an oil burner or diffuser?
They are designed primarily for candles, soaps and cosmetic bases. Some makers use fragrance oils in wax melts and warmers; follow the product guidance and never add them to water-based diffusers meant only for essential oils unless specified.
What is the difference between fragrance oil and essential oil?
Essential oils are extracted from plants, while fragrance oils are crafted scent blends that can recreate aromas — like Mango or Ocean Breeze — that are hard to capture naturally. Fragrance oils often give a stronger, more consistent throw in candles.
How should I store the kit once opened?
Keep the bottles closed, upright and away from light and heat. Used within about a year and stored well, the oils should perform reliably. Use the citrus scents earlier, as they tend to fade first.
