Teakwood Fragrance Oil is a woody, amber and musky scent oil used to fragrance candles, soaps, bath products and perfume oils. Azlok's version opens clean and airy, moves through a soft powdery floral middle, and dries down to a warm, long-lasting woody base — a balanced, masculine aroma inspired by natural teakwood. It is a liquid, colourless to slightly yellow, and is meant strictly for external use.
What Teakwood Fragrance Oil smells like
The scent is built in three layers, which is why it feels rounded rather than flat:
- Top note: clean, fresh and airy — the first impression when you open the bottle or light a candle.
- Middle note: violet and powdery floral softness that keeps the woodiness from feeling harsh.
- Base note: woody, musky and sensual warmth that lingers on skin, in soap or as candle throw.
It suits anyone who likes grounded, confident fragrances over sweet or fruity ones. It also blends nicely with vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli, leather and citrus if you like to make your own accords.
Where you can use it
This is a versatile cosmetic-and-craft grade fragrance oil. Common uses include:
- Candles: soy, beeswax or paraffin container and pillar candles.
- Soaps: cold process, melt-and-pour and hot process bars.
- Bath and body: bath bombs, body scrubs, creams and lotions.
- Lip products: lip balms and lipsticks (external use only).
- Perfume oils: roll-on and alcohol-based fragrances.
How to use it: sensible dosage
Fragrance oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Use these as starting points and adjust to preference and to any local cosmetic guidelines:
- Candles: roughly 6–10% of wax weight. Add at the correct temperature for your wax, stir gently for about two minutes, then pour.
- Cold process soap: around 3% of oils; check that the fragrance behaves well through trace.
- Lotions, creams and scrubs: generally under 1–2% of the total.
- Perfume oils: typically 15–25% fragrance in a carrier such as fractionated coconut oil, adjusted to strength.
Always weigh your batches rather than guessing by drops — it gives consistent scent strength and helps you scale up cleanly.
Safety notes worth reading
Teakwood Fragrance Oil is a synthetic aroma blend for external products only. Please handle it with care:
- Do not ingest. It is meant for external use in finished products.
- Keep away from children and store it out of reach.
- Avoid direct contact with eyes. If it gets in, rinse with plenty of water.
- Patch-test skin products before regular use, as any fragrance can cause sensitivity in some people.
- Work in a ventilated space and wipe up spills promptly; the oil can affect some plastics and finishes.
- Request the MSDS/COA from Azlok and follow safe usage rates for the product type you are making.

FAQ
Can I apply Teakwood Fragrance Oil directly to my skin?
No. It is a concentrated fragrance oil meant to be used inside finished products at safe dilution rates. Never apply it neat, and always patch-test the finished product first.
Is it suitable for candles and soap both?
Yes. It works in candles, cold process and melt-and-pour soaps, bath bombs, scrubs, creams and perfume oils. Just adjust the usage percentage to the product type.
Will it change the colour of my product?
The oil is colourless to slightly yellow, so it usually has little effect. In cold process soap, however, some fragrances can cause slight discolouration over time, which is normal.
How long does the scent last?
Thanks to the woody, musky base notes, it tends to be long-lasting in candles and on skin. Actual longevity depends on your formula, wax type and usage rate.
How should I store it and how long does it keep?
Store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Under these conditions it has a shelf life of about two years.
