DiscoverA specialist since 2012, Terre de Bougies is your candle fragrance supplier sourcing directly from the laboratories of Grasse, the world capital of perfume. Our catalogue brings together several hundred fragrances designed both for artisan making and professional production of candles, wax melts and reed diffusers.
Every candle fragrance is developed by Grasse master perfumers and formulated to withstand the heat of melting, deliver a stable scent throw cold and lit, and preserve the aesthetics of your creations (no parasite colouring, no separation).
Our candle fragrances are formulated to comply with European standards (CLP CE No. 1907/2006, 1223/2009/EEC) and the French IFRA guidelines. You get a traceable, safe Grasse candle fragrance, compatible with commercial use. Each reference ships with its safety data sheet (SDS) and allergen report.
Our commitment: source only from perfumery houses historically established in Grasse, to guarantee rounder, fuller and longer-lasting essences.
For creators sensitive to composition, we offer a range of candle fragrances without CMR, without ethyl phthalate, without vanillin. These fragrances keep great olfactory quality while meeting the strictest European market requirements.
To succeed at a homemade scented candle, dosage is the decisive variable. Under-dosing gives an odourless candle; over-dosing harms the scent throw and makes the wax sweat.
Count 6% to 10% of candle fragrance in the total weight of melted wax. The ideal ratio depends on the wax type (soy, beeswax, paraffin, rapeseed) and the strength of the chosen fragrance. Every product page indicates the maximum IFRA dosage for candle use.
The fragrance is added to the melted wax once it has dropped between 65 and 70°C, away from any heat source. Stir gently for 1 to 2 minutes to homogenise, then pour immediately into your container or mould.
Our selection covers every olfactory family used in interior perfumery: gourmand, woody, floral, fruity, citrus, aromatic, oriental, fresh, marine. Whether you seek a signature fragrance, a seasonal note or a tried-and-tested classic, you'll find here the candle fragrance that matches your creative identity.
For reed diffusers and wax melts, the whole catalogue stays compatible — the only adjustment is dosage, higher for wax melts (up to 12%) and tuned to the viscosity of your diffuser base.
