Fragrance oils, essential oils and natural flavors

Sample first. Then buy by the pound.

Start with a sampler bundle, find the scents and flavors that sell, then move up to 2.2, 11 and 22 lb sizes when you are ready to produce.

For first-timers and the craft-curious

Never made a candle? Start here.

You don't need a big order to try making. One sampler bundle gives you five scents to play with, and it ships free in the lower 48.

What one sample makes
A 0.5 oz fragrance sample scents about 6 oz of wax at a typical 8% load. That's roughly one 8 oz jar candle or a tray of wax melts.
What else you'll need
Wax, wicks and jars (or a melt-and-pour soap base) from any craft store, a thermometer and a heat-safe pouring pitcher. We supply the scent.
Why a bundle beats one sample
One sample is $15 plus $5.95 shipping, $20.95 in all. A five-sample bundle is $49.95 with free shipping, about $10 a scent.
