In the world of fragrances, there are two primary units of measurement: fluid ounces (fl oz) and milliliters (ml). In the United States, perfume bottle sizes are typically measured in ounces, while milliliters are used in most other parts of the world. One fluid ounce is approximately equal to 30 milliliters, so a 1-ounce perfume bottle will give you about 30 ml of fragrance.

10mls of fragrance oil is enough for an 8oz candle
There are 29.57 ml in an ounce of fragrance oil. This means that 10ml of fragrance oil is approximately 0.34 ounces.
For an 8oz candle, you will need 0.8 ounces of fragrance oil. This means that 10mls of fragrance oil is enough for an 8oz candle, as it is slightly less than the required amount. However, one source suggests that 10mls of fragrance oil is not enough for an 8oz candle, as they would use at least two bottles of fragrance oil for an 8oz candle. This would mean using 20mls of fragrance oil, which is double the amount.
The amount of fragrance oil you use in a candle depends on the desired strength of the scent. One source suggests that a normal fragrance load is between 6-12%. If you are using 10mls of fragrance oil in an 8oz candle, you are using around 5% fragrance, which is by no means an overkill.
If you are making a 16oz candle, you will need 1.6 ounces of fragrance oil.

If you are using palm wax, the fragrance load should be 3%. If you are not using palm wax, the fragrance load can be 6%. If you are using a normal wax, like soy, or a premium blend, like coco créme beeswax, or a custom blend, the fragrance load can be anywhere from 3% to 12%. Every wax has a total allowable fragrance (max fragrance) it can hold. This amount is typically listed by the supplier or manufacturer and depends on the wax in question.
If you are making a 10oz candle, the fragrance percentage would be 1 oz, an 8oz candle would be 0.80, and a 16 oz candle would be 1.6 oz of fragrance. If you’re using 464 wax, just multiply your candle size by 10 to get your percentage. If you have a scale, you can use it to measure the fragrance load.

10mls of one kind of oil might be 10g, but another oil could be 8g or 12g
When making candles, it's important to work in weight rather than volume. This is because 10mls of one kind of oil might be 10g, but another oil could be 8g or 12g. For example, if you're making a 10oz candle, you'll need 1oz of fragrance oil. If you're making an 8oz candle, you'll need 0.8oz of fragrance oil. A 16oz candle will need 1.6oz of fragrance oil.
The normal fragrance load is between 6-12%. If you're using 10% fragrance in your wax, you'll need to adjust the amount of oil you use accordingly. For example, if you're making a 220g candle, you'll use 20g of oil and 200g of wax.
