Wholesale Scented Candles from China

Each batch is manufacturer tested for burn time and provided on product packaging. There are factors that affect burn time – environment and user habits. The burn time is for a reference only.

The sky is the limit, but Sourcing Nova has found the following to be exceptionally popular with its customer base: coffee, pine, hyacinth, rose, lavender, apple, lemon, jasmine, orange, magnolia, pumpkin, gardenia and coconut. Some men even enjoy tobacco scented candles.

The idea of more is better is not the case in the best scented candles. The typical amounts are 12 percent for a summer candle and 15 percent for a winter candle. Higher essential oil contents make for physically unstable candles. Higher temperatures also produce more oil.

Provide a flavor sample, and upstream companies within the supply chain can match it closely with chromatographic instrument analysis. There are some scents, such as cannabis, we cannot provide under Chinese law.

Our scented candle manufacturing factory uses these brands of essential oils: Givaudan, Symrise, Roberteet, Mane, IFF, Belmay, CPL and Firmenich Ibercham.

It has been our repeated experience that scented candles made from 100 percent natural essential oils are more of a marketing strategy than anything. The pure natural essential oils are expensive, more unstable than their synthetic counterparts, produces abundant oils and will fuse with the soybean wax. This means your candle will lack scent. The better, high-end candles are made with a combination of natural and safe synthetic fragrance.

That is not an easy question to answer directly. We cannot say, "The MOQ on X candle is X pieces." Here is why.

The MOQ is based on raw materials from the upstream of the supply chain. This means a scented candle’s MOQ is determined by the MOQ of the manufacturer’s essential oil purchase.

Essential oil manufacturers in China require a minimum of 5 kg (11 lbs.) of each scent. The manufacturer must be sure to use all of the oil before the oil turns rancid and is unusable. The total number of candles that will use 5 kg of essential oil depend on the size of the candle and the proportion of fragrance added into each scented candle.

If the essential oils of international brands are requested, the minimum amount for purchase jumps to 25 kg (55 lbs.). Again, the manufacturer needs to use all 25 kg of oil and waste as little as possible in the process.

The closest formula we have is this: The fewer scent types = lower MOQ. Candles with different scents in top, heart and base notes = higher MOQ.

Sourcing Nova prefers scented candles in jars. The factory we use has the advantage of scale for this particular production style. These scented candle manufacturers do not make taper and pillar candles. Pillar candles use silicon molds, and the molds create bubbles on surface. This will lead to after-sale issues with your customers.

Secondly, pillar candles waste the essential oils, whereas the oils pool in jars.

It is our recommendation to source scented candles in jars exclusively.

The easiest and best way to reduce your procurement costs is to shorten the supply chain and go directly to the manufacture.

Consider the beeswax candle. We have a few select manufacturers in the bee production industry cluster in China, and these manufacturers have their own bee farms. These traditional businesses will not register on B2B platforms like Alibaba. Therefore, unless you have intimate knowledge of the bee product industry chain, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to find these manufacturers via Internet searches.

Now, for our soy wax scented candles, we need to know the purchase price of each seperate ingredients. We will need to find the price, per kilogram, on soybean wax and essential oils. Then we find the price on the specific candle jar. We take this basic information and calculate the factory profit with the labor cost, depreciation on machinery, equipment and plant rental based on the data available for Guangdong.

It is not now, nor has it been, the goal of Sourcing Nova to squeeze manufacturers to maximize profit on your side, as this will cost us our relationship. We will be open and frank about reasonable profits – this makes the business relationship stronger.

This level of trust established with fair, open and just negotiation is important. The factories return our fairness with a quality product and service.

As an important reminder: It is the goal of Sourcing Nova to find you the best products and not the cheapest. This includes scented candles.
