NO. 3708 Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles
NO. 3708 is an Aquatic Aromatic fragrance for men. Where NO. 3707 was inspired by Parisian tailoring, NO. 3708 is a more fluid, lighter, and freer expression of this inspiration, think - impeccably tailored linen shirt.
It is a distinctive Mediterranean reinterpretation of the original and rather than having overtly marine accords, it chooses to evoke the ocean through natural waves of citrus freshness, aromatic herbs, and radiant woods instead.
Effortlessly elegant, modern and sensual.

Scent Profile
NO. 3708 bursts open into ‘sea light’, softly rolling waves in aqua and teal, back lit by the rising sun. Opening with a crisp citrus flash of Apple and Grapefruit, bright and clean. Fullbodied Blood Orange and Mandarin bring luminous, sunlit accords of radiance and airy, floral transparency. An aromatic marine breeze, evokes green coastal herbs and sea air, salt on skin and linen drying in the wind.
The sheer, floral heartspace fills with the blue air of Lavender and Thyme, for a fresh, watery, and abstract experience. A cool, ozonic nuance, gives the illusion of sunlit water and marine notes. A wisp of Rose and spices keeps the heart smooth and human. Emulating a white linen shirt open at the collar, cool shade, warm skin, cold water.
Sun warms Cedarwood and precious Sandalwood, providing an aromatic anchor and structure. Earthy notes of Patchouli give warmth, radiant diffusion and longevity while smoothing, powdery aromatic transitions. Deft notes of Sea Salt linger to enhance the Mediterranean experience. Driftwood warmed by afternoon sun, the day lingering quietly, long after the waves recede.
Choose NO. 3708 for its effortlessly masculine, freeing and unforced accords, and its Mediterranean vibe. It has a fresh and aromatic citrus opening layered over a spiced blue Lavender heart, designed to feel aquatic without marine synthetics. Finished with a smooth, warm, earthy and dry wood base with a lingering trail of powder and salt. Perfectly designed for men who like life to feel natural, more fluid and free.
