Product Description
Rich Floral Wax for Fine Fragrance and Candle Craft
Tuberose wax is obtained through extraction of the tropical flower, producing a concentrated, deeply floral and slightly sweet aromatic material prized far beyond ordinary essential oils. This product belongs to the category of Absolutes, natural aromatic concentrates favored by perfumers and manufacturers of scented goods for their depth and lasting power that synthetic substitutes rarely replicate. The strongest demand for tuberose wax comes from niche and fine perfumery, where it serves as a heart or base note, as well as from candle making, where its waxy nature blends easily with paraffin or soy wax bases.
In perfume compositions tuberose wax is typically dosed at 0.5 to 3 percent of the total formula, first dissolved in a small amount of alcohol or carrier oil with gentle warming to around 40-50 degrees to achieve a smooth, even distribution. For candles, the wax is added once the base wax has melted and cooled slightly to 60-65 degrees, avoiding excessive heat that would burn off the volatile aromatic fraction. In creams, balms and other leave-on formulas, tuberose wax is blended into the oil phase during the cooling stage below 40 degrees, which helps preserve the scent right up to packaging.
The material pairs beautifully with other floral and exotic notes, making it a natural partner for Plumeria Absolute when building a fuller tropical bouquet, while Absolut Tobacco lends warmth and a smoky woody undertone to the same blend. Another interesting combination comes from adding Black Elder Absolute, which brings a light green freshness that balances the heaviness of the floral heart. These pairings are particularly popular among independent perfumers and small studio producers, since the 100 gram size is well suited for testing formulas and running limited batches before committing to larger scale production, including candle makers and even soap crafters who occasionally scent their work with such absolutes.
Tuberose wax should be stored in a tightly sealed container, away from light and heat, at stable room temperature to keep its volatile aromatic compounds intact for as long as possible. Prolonged heating above 70 degrees should be avoided, as it causes noticeable loss of scent and alters its character. For studio work, dividing the material into smaller sealed glass containers helps maintain consistent dosing and scent stability across multiple production batches.
