As New Zealand’s experts in candle making supplies we know just how important every ingredient is when making a candle. Whether it’s the wax, fragrance oil, wick or the jar, every ingredient plays its part. That’s why we’ve sourced the widest range of high-quality products from around the world giving you peace of mind and the ability to create beautiful candles.
At the heart of everything we do, is fragrance. Since 2010 we’ve been leading the way and developing our knowledge and supply lines to bring you the finest fragrances for candle making. Over the years we have built a long-standing relationship with our boutique fragrance house in America, sharing knowledge, trends and understanding the science that goes into all of our fragrances. Our extensive fragrance range is EPA compliant in NZ, 100% free of phthalates, paraffin, UV inhibitors, and our fragrances are not tested on animals.
Now, as the experts in candle fragrance in New Zealand, we are excited to announce the launch of our own premium range of oils. When we approached our fragrance house early in 2022 about creating a new brand of fragrance for the NZ market they were very excited to get involved. Since then, we have been formulating and developing our own unique blends and are excited to finally share the first three with you. The new premium fragrance brand is called Olomé (ol a may). The name being derived from a combination of two very important words in the candle fragrance world;
‘Olfaction‘ – the special sense through which smells are perceived and
‘Home‘ – a place where we feel comfortable and safe
The two words blended together create Olomé a brand that reflects premium fragrance oils specially designed for candles, melts and diffusers.
Deep Premium Blend
Fragrance oils are made up of a combination of notes, essentially the different scent layers that make up the final fragrance. These scents are split into three distinct elements: top notes, mid notes and base notes. Depending on the notes you are burning will depend on how quickly they evaporate. For example, top notes have a lower evaporation point, meaning they start evaporating at lower temperatures whereas base notes have higher evaporation points and become more dominant when the candle is burning.
Most fragrances have equal quantities of top, mid and base notes but Olomé is different. Olomé has been developed with a much heavier base note that not only lingers in the room for longer but produces a stronger scent that is full of rich woody accords.
We are delighted to be able to offer a range of full-bodied fragrances that are packed with a combination of scents that evaporate into the air, penetrate the room and leave a long-lasting scent.
New premium shopping experience
We are aware that it can be very hard to smell a product online, so we have invested time and energy into developing our listings for these premium scents.
Pictorial Images – each product has a group of carefully selected pictorial images for each of the elements that make up the fragrance
Fragrance Triangle – each product has a unique fragrance triangle that enables you to see the ingredients and proportion of each note
Descriptors – we have used descriptors that use the fragrance wheel characteristics and describe the scent in away that we can literally smell
Essential Oil Callouts – Highlighted the essential oils that are in each of the premium fragrances
Safety Data Sheets and IFRA’s – We have also added both the Safety data sheets and the IFRA’s for each of these fragrances enabling you to easily review the data sheets
Packaging
We are always looking for new sustainable ways to package our products so for our premium oils we are using glass amber bottles that can be recycled or re-used.
These bottles not only keep the fragrance fresh the bottles have a seal within the lids to help with any potential leakages in shipping.
Our labels also contain important information about the fragrance and have a handy QR code which will take you straight to our site.

Can you use these fragrances for melt and pour soaps ? And also soy melt?
Great question Natasha, the short answer is yes:) Within each product listing you will find the IFRA recommendations for maximum % for each use case. Please note though that we have not tested these fragrances in soap. As with all fragrances your own testing is required to determine the optimal fragrance load and compatibility with your other ingredients.
Hi, can we come into Candle Creations for a sniff? Also will you have our favourites released under Olome like Noel for example?
Hi, yes of course come down to the showroom and have a smell – they are divine! As for Noel this is in our normal fragrance listing and although divine is not part of the Olomé range.
Essential Oil Callouts – Highlighted the essential oils that are in each of the premium fragrances
How’s this different in Olame? Seems we always are told what oils are in what fragrance.
Sorry, should have said this, the first time!
Hi Marni,
It is not always obvious in a fragrance oil what is an essential oil and what is a synthetic oil so we wanted to make it easier for you to see and determine these types of oils. We hope you enjoy your fragrances.
OMG !!!! Guys it’s sooo exited, I ordered your 3 fragrances already for a test, They look so good !
A really good news for your customer like me looking for luxury candles 🙂
Do you know when you will realised the rest ?
Thank you and congratulation 🙂
Thanks for your comments – we are so pleased that you love the fragrances as much as we do. We have one more fragrance that will be released very soon in December and the rest are currently in testing phase and will be out at the end of Q1 if all goes well.
Definitely love the “Fruitwood and Rosemary”, Fruity but not sweet, it’s delicious… will def buy. “ Black Cypress snd Mahogany” a nice neutral earthy fragrance, has taken me a few weeks with sniffs now and then to get comfortable with it but yes I do actually like it. “Plum wood and Clive Leaf”. I’ve tried to be patient with this one. I get the leather but can’t find the fruits, probably becoz my first impression was of washing clothes from a 80-90s nightclub filled with cigarette smoke with a touch of disinfectant from the dentist…. Which has ruined my headspace.
