The Woody Fragrance Oils Sample Kit from Azlok is a set of five 10 ml woody-themed fragrance oils that you can use to scent candles, soaps, lotions, bath bombs and diffusers. It's meant for trying several forest-inspired notes before you commit to a large bottle, which is exactly what most beginner and hobby makers need.
What's inside the kit
You get five different fragrance oils, 10 ml each, all leaning towards warm, earthy, woody territory:
- Chandan Kesar Fragrance — a sandalwood-saffron blend with a soft, dressy feel.
- Cedar Oakmoss Fragrance — crisp cedarwood with green, mossy depth.
- Warm Woods Fragrance — a rounded, cosy wood accord.
- Sandalwood Fragrance — creamy, familiar and long-lasting.
- Oudh Twist Fragrance — a modern take on rich, resinous agarwood.
These are vegan, phthalate-free and paraben-free fragrance oils. They are made for crafting and home projects, not for eating or drinking.
What you can make with them
Woody notes work beautifully across most DIY categories because they blend easily and hold up in both wax and soap. Common uses include:
- Candles — soy, coconut or paraffin wax.
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soap.
- Lotions, body butters and creams.
- Bath bombs.
- Coffee scrubs and salt scrubs.
- Reed diffusers and room sprays.
Because a sample kit gives you five scents at once, it's also handy for blending. Sandalwood with a touch of oudh, or cedar oakmoss layered with warm woods, can give you a signature scent that's hard to buy off the shelf.
How to use fragrance oils
The right amount depends on what you're making. Always start conservative and adjust in your next batch:
- Candles: around 6–10% of the wax weight, following your specific wax's maximum fragrance load. Add the oil at the temperature your wax recommends, usually after removing it from heat.
- Soap: roughly 3–5% of oils/base weight. For cold-process soap, test a small batch first, as some fragrances can accelerate trace.
- Lotions and scrubs: about 0.5–1% of the total weight.
- Diffusers: mix with a suitable diffuser base or carrier at the ratio your recipe suggests.
Weigh with a small kitchen scale rather than guessing by drops. Fragrance oils are concentrated, and a little goes a long way.
Safety and honest notes
- For external and craft use only. Do not ingest, and keep away from eyes.
- Patch-test any leave-on product (like lotion) on a small area of skin before regular use, and respect standard skin-safe usage limits.
- Work in a ventilated space and keep bottles away from children and pets.
- Fragrance oils are flammable — store away from open flame and direct heat.
- These are cosmetic-grade fragrance oils, not essential oils, so they are made purely for scent, not therapeutic claims.
Buying and storage tips
A sample kit like this one is the smart way to shop: at ₹499 for five 10 ml oils, you can test each scent in a small batch before buying full sizes of your favourites. Ten millilitres is enough for a few candles or a couple of soap loaves, so you'll get a real feel for how each behaves.
Store the bottles tightly capped, upright, in a cool, dark cupboard away from sunlight. Kept this way, fragrance oils stay usable for a long time. Label any products you make with the scent and date so you can repeat the ones that work. Azlok stocks larger sizes of these woody oils once you know which you love.
FAQ
Are these fragrance oils or essential oils?
They are fragrance oils — blends formulated for scent in candles, soaps and cosmetics. They are not pure essential oils and are not intended for aromatherapy or medicinal use.
Can I use them on my skin?
Only when properly diluted into a leave-on or wash-off product at safe usage rates. Do not apply the oils neat, and always patch-test first.
How much fragrance oil should I add to candles?
A common range is 6–10% of the wax weight, but follow your wax manufacturer's maximum fragrance load and add the oil at the recommended temperature.
Are the oils safe for cold-process soap?
These fragrances can be used in soap at around 3–5%, but some woody and resinous scents may speed up trace. Test a small batch before scaling up.
How long will 10 ml last?
Enough for a few small candles or a couple of soap batches, depending on your fragrance load. It's ideal for sampling before you buy a bigger bottle.
