NO. 4208 Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles
NO. 4208 is an immersive Woody Spicy fragrance for men and women, capturing the majestic transitory essence of early autumn.
Where the lingering warmth of summer gives way to a distinct, cool chill in the air, signaling the leaves into a riot of changing colour and texture. Greens turn to russets, ochres and a thousand shades of orange and soft, supple leaves turn dry, crunchy and crepitant.
A soul restoring, lingering stroll through the changing forest is a sensory feast. Breathing in the cool, woody air, distinctly aromatic with the oncoming scent of the season. Diffused sunlight warms the face as it filters through glowing foliage and fallen leaves crunch underfoot releasing the scent of moist earth and dry leaves and aromatic wood.
Contemplative, textured, grounded. A restorative escape into nature.

Scent Profile
Morning light filters through changing branches as the air carries that first cooling breath of autumn. Crisp, clean Lemon brightness tumbles into the green, airy brightness of Coriander leaves and the evocative resinous accords of Pine and Fir Balsam; it feels like hazy morning mist over freshly fallen leaves.
The heartspace deepens into the warm spice of crushed bark, fallen twigs and dry foliage. Notes of Nutmeg, Cardamom and Pink Pepper are quickly softened by the surrounding woods. Subtle aromatic accords of Geranium and Lavender soften the structure with a faint herbal and floral lift echoing the last blooms of the year clinging on as long as they dare.
Fir Balsam reinforces the character of the ancient forest, deeply grounding the heart in the quiet reflection of nature before settling into a richly wooded foundation built around a dry structure of naturally grounding Cedarwood. Glowing Amber, earthy Oakmoss and alluring Musk settle into atmospheric comfort, emulating the forest growing still as night arrives. Vanilla and Clove’s faint sweetness echo the fading warmth of sun on autumn bark, leaving a lingering dry spicy signature.
Choose NO. 4208 for its deeply grounded seasonal elegance. Blending structural coniferous, resinous woods with warm, dry spices and glowing Amber and Vanilla sweetness. Perfectly designed for those who appreciate nature's reflective aromas.
