Can gardenia oil be used in candles and home fragrance, and at what load?
Yes — gardenia works excellently in candles, wax melts, reed diffusers and room sprays, where its rich floral throw fills a room; typical fragrance load is 3–10%.
Home Fragrance Guidance
| Product | Fragrance Load | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Soy/paraffin candle | 3–6% | Good hot and cold throw; no added dye needed |
| Candle (high load) | 6–10% | Test wick sizing; avoid frosting |
| Wax melts | 5–8% | Strong room-filling release |
| Reed diffuser | 5–15% | Use DPG/IPM base for wicking |
| Room spray | 1–3% | Solubilize in alcohol |
