Top 5 Best-Selling Fragrance Oils for Scented Candles: Selection Guide for Candle Brands

2025-09-10

At Leuxscent, we work with dozens of candle manufacturers and private label brands worldwide. While everyone’s market is different, some fragrance oils consistently perform well across multiple countries and customer groups.

Here are the top 5 best-selling fragrance oil types for scented candles — and why customers

keep coming back for them:

① French Vanilla & Amber
Warm, comforting, with great hot throw. Especially loved in North America and Australia.

② Wood Sage & Sea Salt (Jo Malone style)
Fresh yet sophisticated. Popular with minimalist brands and eco-luxury lines.

③ Rose Oud
A strong seller in the Middle East and Europe. Combines floral softness with deep woody

richness.

④ Lemongrass Citrus
Refreshing, clean, and uplifting. Commonly chosen for spa-themed or wellness collections.

⑤ Coconut Cream & Tonka
Creamy and sweet, perfect for cozy home candles. High repeat rates from lifestyle brands.

Why these work:
✔ They perform well in both cold and hot throw tests
✔ They match clear emotional scenes (cozy, spa, elegant, exotic)
✔ They have broad global appeal but can be tweaked for regional preferences
