NO. 3701 Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles
NO. 3701 is a Woody Oriental fragrance for women. This is a thoroughly modern reinterpretation of the legendary Opium legacy. It is not overly smoky or narcotic, less incense and spice and more floral radiance that stays softer and sensually skin-close.
As with many fragrances from this fashion house, it masterfully reflects YSL’s ongoing dialogue between danger and elegance, shadow and light. It is contemporary femininity demonstrated as tantalizing and sensual allure, rather than opulent or hedonistic excess.
Sensual, polished, luminous. A modern oriental that whispers rather than shouts.

Scent Profile
Lemon and Orange ignite the opening with a brief citrus flash, clean, bright, and fleeting, like a glimmer of light in a darkened room. Mandarin dances with a delicate fruity-floral sweetness, soft, rather than juicy. Green Lily adds a subtle aromatic-green lift, giving clarity and air before the florals bloom. Citrus flickers, green edges sharpen the air and anticipation hums lightly beneath the surface.
Jasmine forms the backbone of the floral heart, creamy and abstract with a soft, narcotic warmth. Gardenia ‘s dewy, floral cleanliness, balances the warmth with modern transparency and gentle nuances of Rose. White Pepper and smoky Incense add warm, spicy undertones that are restrained and elegant. Subtly provocative petals are warmed by skin, making the floral light thicken, turn velvety and slow, with a quiet heat that lingers rather than burns.
The room darkens into velvet shadows with invisible silk threads of a musky, cotton-clean glow, lending intimacy and skin affinity. Amber and Vanilla smooth transitions with creamy, enveloping warmth and subtle sweetness. Before sinking into the earthy, sensual, grounding of Patchouli.
The precious Sandalwood diffusion is smooth, radiant, and long-lasting with the lingering smoky notes of Tobacco and Incense. Warm woods, soft amber, and skin musks fold together like velvet at dusk, close, confident, unforgettable.
Choose NO. 3701 for its contemporary woody oriental accords, where luminous white florals are wrapped in soft, smoky spice, patchouli depth, and musky amber woods rather than heavy resins. Perfectly designed for the woman who embraces power, obsession and ambivalence.
