How is osmanthus absolute used in scented candles and home fragrance?
In candles and home fragrance, osmanthus absolute is used at 0.1%–1% of wax or diffuser base, where its apricot-floral aroma creates a refined, long-lasting scent throw for premium candles, reed diffusers, and room sprays.
Home Fragrance Usage
| Product | Recommended dose |
|---|---|
| Soy/paraffin candle | 0.1%–0.5% of wax |
| Coconut/rapeseed wax candle | 0.1%–1% of wax |
| Reed diffuser | 0.5%–1% of carrier base |

Best Practices
- Add to melted wax at 60–75°C and stir thoroughly before pouring
- For diffuser bases, blend with dipropylene glycol or a diffuser carrier oil
- Combine with vanilla, amber, or citrus notes for complex candle accords
- Higher fragrance load may require a wax-type compatibility test
- Allergen levels must be declared on candle labels per IFRA where applicable
- We can supply a pre-diluted 10% candle version for easier dosing
