NO. 1918 Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 1918 is a Spicy Oriental fragrance for men and women. Saffron is one of the most highly prized and precious spices in the world. In India, it symbolizes the devout, sacredness and cultural depth, echoed in the garments of the Hindu monks marking their religious abstinence from all things material pleasures. Here, it reflects the beauty of tradition, unity and inclusion.

It is an auspicious color in India, often associated with the renewing and energizing qualities of fire and warmth. It enlivens and awakens our senses with its glowing color, taste and smell, it is a wonderful sensory powerhouse.

Golden, refined, smouldering. A tribute to Indian heritage and luxury.

Scent Profile

NO. 1918 opens in a flash of golden light where citrus zest scatters across sacred threads of Saffron cotton. Sharp, bright notes of Pomelo and Lemon illuminate the opening with golden clarity and sparkling aromatic freshness. Fresh Pine needles bring texture, dimension and balance to the sweet fruity notes of soft, ripe raspberries. 

The heart space is a luminous, transparent bouquet of fresh, aromatic Roses blooming with the powdery suede texture of Violets, creating luxurious radiance, inviting warmth and restrained elegance. Glowing accords of Saffron exude a warm, leathery, almost spicy nuance while crushed Juniper Berries add a balancing green uplift.

Delicate and subtle woody notes of Pine and Juniper meld into the dry Cedarwood to create  structural bridging accords to smooth transitions and bring harmony. Radiant amber depth brings strong diffusion and a leathery balsamic softness to round the wood and spices, alongside the subtle creamy sweetness of Vanilla. Leaving you with the impression of smoldering embers beneath ancient carved temple beams. Warm, sacred and unforgettable.

Choose NO. 1918 for its luxurious, animalic leathery-spiced aura layered with powdery violet, spiced woods, and sweet, golden warmth. Perfectly designed for anyone drawn to aromas that reverently connect with tradition, culture and the sacred.

Understanding The IFRA Guidelines for Maximum Dilution

Maximum dilution for this fragrance oil depends on the products you are planning on making. It should be noted that maximum dilutions are from a safety aspect only, based on the chemical composition of the oil.

In some cases these are very high, because all components are relatively benign. These amounts are not necessarily recommendations of how much to use in your recipe. They may smell too strong or make the item prohibitively expensive to produce.

As long as you remain below the advised limits, you can be as generous or as frugal as you like. Use more, use less. We’ll leave the creative stuff to you.

Based on the ingredients used, as per the International Fragrance Regulation Authority, the maximum dilutions given above apply.
