Sweet Pea Fragrance Oil is a soft, airy floral scent oil used to add a fresh, slightly green and lightly powdery aroma to candles, soaps, bath bombs and body-care products. Azlok offers it in sizes from 100 GM up to 20 KG, starting at ₹349, so both hobbyists and small businesses can use it.
The scent is inspired by the sweet pea flower (Lathyrus odoratus). It reads as clean and floral up top, with a gentle sweetness and a faint woody-powdery base. That balance makes it easy to work with — it is pretty without being heavy or overpowering.
What Sweet Pea Fragrance Oil is used for
This is a versatile scent that blends into many DIY and home projects. Common uses include:
- Candles — soy, beeswax or paraffin container candles and wax melts.
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soap for a fresh floral bar.
- Bath bombs and bath salts where you want a light, uplifting scent.
- Body scrubs, creams and lotions in leave-on and rinse-off formulas.
- Lip balms and lipsticks, used at very low percentages.
- Perfume oils and roll-ons, blended with a carrier.
- Reed diffusers, room sprays and potpourri for home fragrance.
Because it is a fresh floral, it pairs nicely with citrus, light musks, vanilla and green notes if you like to build your own blends.
How to use it
A fragrance oil is concentrated, so a little goes a long way. General guidance:
- Candles: usually 6–10% of the wax weight, depending on the wax and its recommended maximum. Add at the correct temperature for your wax and stir well.
- Soap: typically 3–5% of the total batch. Cold-process makers should test a small batch first, as florals can behave differently in high-pH conditions.
- Lotions, creams and scrubs: around 0.5–2%.
- Lip balms and lipsticks: keep it very low, roughly 0.1–0.5%.
- Perfume oils and roll-ons: dilute in a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil; start low and adjust.
Always weigh your ingredients rather than guessing, and follow the usage limits suited to your product type. When in doubt, make a small test batch before scaling up.
Safety notes worth reading
Fragrance oils are for external use in finished products. Please keep these points in mind:
- Do not ingest the oil, and do not apply it neat (undiluted) to skin.
- Patch-test any new skin product on a small area before regular use, as fragrance can cause sensitivity in some people.
- Keep away from children and pets, and store away from open flames.
- Work in a well-ventilated space and avoid getting it in your eyes.
- Refer to the MSDS and any allergen information for the specific batch, and follow candle-safety and IFRA-style usage limits for your application.
This is a fragrance product, not a medicine. It is meant to scent your creations, nothing more.
Buying and storage tips
Sweet Pea Fragrance Oil is a liquid with a shelf life of about 2 years when stored well. To keep it fresh:
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Keep the cap tightly closed to reduce evaporation and scent loss.
- Buy a size that matches your usage — the 100 GM pack suits testing and small batches, while 1 KG and larger drums are better for regular production.
If you are new to the scent, start with a smaller pack from Azlok, run a test batch in your chosen recipe, and only then commit to a bigger size.
