Azlok Tulsi Fragrance Oil is a scent concentrate that captures the fresh, herbal and earthy aroma of holy basil, made for use in soaps, candles, bath bombs, scrubs and other cosmetic and craft products. It is a fragrance oil, not an essential oil, so it is designed for external, leave-on and wash-off DIY products rather than for eating or medicinal use.
The aroma opens with sharp, green and slightly spicy top notes, settles into a clean herbal middle, and dries down to a calm, woody, earthy base. It smells a little like walking through a well-kept garden after a light watering, which is why makers reach for it when they want something natural and grounding rather than sweet and perfumey.
What Tulsi Fragrance Oil is used for
This fragrance oil is versatile across the DIY and small-business range. It works well in:
- Cold and melt-and-pour soaps for a fresh, herbal scent
- Candles and wax melts where an earthy, calming note suits homes and studios
- Bath bombs and bath salts
- Body and facial scrubs
- Creams, lotions and body butters
- Shampoos, conditioners and shower gels
- Lip balms and lipsticks where a subtle herbal touch is wanted
Because the profile is green and slightly spicy, it blends nicely with citrus, mint, lemongrass and other herbal notes if you like building your own accords.
How to use it
Fragrance oils are strong, so a little goes a long way. Always weigh your fragrance rather than guessing by drops.
- Soap: A typical starting point is around 3% of your total batch weight. Add at light trace in cold process, or just before pouring in melt-and-pour.
- Candles: Usually 6–10% of wax weight depending on the wax. Add at the correct temperature for your wax and stir thoroughly for an even scent throw.
- Lotions, creams and gels: Keep it low, often under 1%, and add during the cool-down phase.
- Scrubs and bath products: Add to the oil portion first, then combine with the rest.
For any new recipe, make a small test batch first and let it cure or set fully before judging the final scent. Curing changes how a fragrance behaves in soap and wax.
Safety and honest notes
Fragrance oils are for external use in properly formulated products. Please keep these points in mind:
- Do not ingest and do not apply the neat oil directly to skin.
- Always follow safe usage rates (IFRA-style guidelines) for the specific product type. More fragrance is not better and can cause irritation.
- Patch-test your finished product before regular use, especially for leave-on items.
- Keep away from children and pets.
- Work in a ventilated space and avoid open flames while handling concentrated fragrance.
- Ask for the MSDS and allergen information before formulating products for sale, so your labelling is accurate.
This is a fragrance oil, so it does not carry the therapeutic properties of steam-distilled tulsi essential oil. Choose based on what your product actually needs.

FAQ
Is Tulsi Fragrance Oil the same as tulsi essential oil?
No. A fragrance oil is a scent concentrate made for DIY and cosmetic products. Essential oil is distilled from the plant. They smell related but are not interchangeable, and this fragrance oil is not for therapeutic or internal use.
Can I use it directly on my skin?
Not neat. It must be diluted into a properly formulated product at safe usage rates, and you should patch-test the finished item first.
How much should I add to soap or candles?
As a rough guide, about 3% of batch weight for soap and roughly 6–10% of wax weight for candles. Always weigh accurately and test a small batch.
How long does it last?
About two years when stored in a cool, dry place with the cap closed tightly and away from sunlight.
Does it work in wash-off products like shampoo and shower gel?
Yes. It suits shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, scrubs and bath products, as well as leave-on items like creams and balms when used at appropriate rates.
