Water Lily Fragrance Oil is a light yellow, floral-citrusy scented oil used to fragrance candles, soaps, bath bombs, scrubs, creams and perfume blends. It carries a fresh, sweet floral aroma with a soft earthy edge, and at Azlok it starts at Rs.389 for a 100 gm pack, going up to bulk 20 kg sizes for small businesses.
What Water Lily Fragrance Oil smells like
The scent is clean and airy rather than heavy. Think of a bright white floral with a slight citrus lift and a gentle earthy base, the kind of note you associate with still ponds and open flowers. It reads as elegant and refreshing, which makes it a versatile choice for everyday products that need to feel calm and pretty without being overpowering.
Do note that this is a fragrance oil, not an essential oil. It is formulated to deliver a consistent, long-lasting scent in finished products, so it behaves reliably batch after batch.
Common uses
- Candles: soy, beeswax or paraffin container and pillar candles.
- Soaps: cold-process, melt-and-pour and liquid soaps.
- Bath bombs and bath salts: a fresh floral that suits relaxing soaks.
- Body care: lotions, creams, body butters and facial or body scrubs.
- Lip products: lip balms and lipsticks, where a soft scent is welcome.
- Perfume oils and roll-ons: blended into a carrier for a wearable floral.
- Home fragrance: reed diffusers, wax melts and room sprays.
How to use it
Fragrance oils are strong, so a little goes a long way. Always weigh your fragrance rather than guessing by volume, and start on the lower side of any range.
- Candles: typically 6 to 10 percent of the wax weight, added at the correct temperature for your wax. Stir gently for a minute or two so it binds properly.
- Soap: around 3 to 5 percent of the base weight for melt-and-pour; follow your recipe and a fragrance calculator for cold-process.
- Lotions and creams: roughly 0.5 to 1 percent of the total weight.
- Perfume oils: blend into a carrier such as fractionated coconut oil; start light and adjust.
Because it sits in the light yellow to yellow range, it can slightly tint very pale bases. Test a small batch first if you are aiming for a pure white finish.
Safety notes
Fragrance oils are for external, cosmetic and home-fragrance 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, as fragrance can cause sensitivity in some people.
- Respect usage limits for skin-contact products; more fragrance is not better and can irritate.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Store away from open flame until it is safely incorporated into your product.
- Ask for the MSDS and allergen information if you need it for compliance, especially when selling finished products.
Buying and storage tips
Choose your pack size by how often you make things. The 100 gm pack is ideal for trying it out or for one-off batches, while the 500 gm and 1 kg sizes suit regular hobbyists. Small businesses running production runs will find the 5 kg, 10 kg and 20 kg options more economical per gram.
Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Kept well, the oil has a shelf life of about two years. Always close the cap firmly after use, since fragrance can weaken with prolonged air exposure. Azlok packs the oil as per requirement, so you can order the quantity that matches your projects.
FAQ
Is Water Lily Fragrance Oil safe for skin?
It is suitable for cosmetic products like lip balms, creams and scrubs when used within recommended limits, usually well under 1 percent in leave-on products. Always patch-test first and never apply the neat oil directly to skin.
Can I use it in candles?
Yes. It works in soy, beeswax and paraffin candles at around 6 to 10 percent of the wax weight. Add it at your wax's recommended fragrance temperature and stir thoroughly for a clean, even scent throw.
Is this an essential oil or a fragrance oil?
It is a fragrance oil, formulated for consistent, long-lasting scent in finished products. It is not a therapeutic essential oil, so it should not be used for internal or medicinal purposes.
Will it change the colour of my product?
The oil is light yellow to yellow, so it may slightly tint very pale bases. If you need a pure white finish, test a small batch before making a full one.
How long does it last once opened?
Roughly two years when stored in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly closed. Keep it away from sunlight and heat to preserve the aroma.
