Candle Fragrance Load Calculator
Fragrance load refers to the
percentage of fragrance oil used in relation to the weight of wax in a candle.
Using the correct fragrance load is essential for achieving strong scent throw
without affecting candle performance or burn quality. This fragrance load
calculator helps candle makers determine the exact amount of fragrance oil
needed for any batch size. Simply enter your wax weight and desired fragrance
percentage to calculate the correct fragrance amount for your candle formula.
Formulation Tip
Most container waxes support fragrance loads between 6% and 10%, though the exact range depends on the container wax system used and the supplier’s recommended usage limits.
After calculating your fragrance load, confirm both your wax guidance and fragrance testing ranges before pouring a full batch. If you want a place to start, browse virgin coconut soy wax, coco apricot creme wax, or fragrance discovery kits for testing.
