Candle makers buy amyris to round out woody and warm scent lines, but the deciding factor at wholesale volume is how it performs in soy wax, not how it smells from the bottle. This page is part of our Guide to Buying Amyris Essential Oil in Bulk.
Order 16 oz to burn test before committing a production batch.
Cold throw, the scent a candle gives off unlit, is the metric candle makers actually sell against, and How to Use Amyris Oil in Soy Candles covers how fragrance load affects it in this specific wax type.
Because amyris reads as a base note rather than a sharp top note, it tends to work best paired with brighter oils rather than carrying a candle alone, following the same blending logic covered for perfumery in blending amyris with citrus, spice, and floral oils.
Fragrance load for soy wax is typically set by testing a range and burning sample candles rather than by a fixed rule, since wax blends and wick choices shift the result.
The candle maker's takeaway: qualify fragrance load in a real burn test on the wax and wick combination in production, not on a supplier's suggested range alone.
Burn testing typically starts at 16 oz; production candle runs move to 5 lbs, 25 lbs, or 400 lbs.
