NO. 5601
Inspired by: Olous by AesopFragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 5601 - Olous - Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 5601 is a bold Woody Citrus fragrance for men inspired by the sunken Cretan city of Olous, which was swallowed by the waves of the Mediterranean and lost forever. 

Serving as an important maritime port across the Greek Islands and as far as Egypt. Ships would bring in wine, resins, spices and exotic fabrics to delight the islanders. A melting pot of trade and cultures in the middle of the sea. 

It carries the fresh, sunlit aromatics of the ocean, the exotic goods and the woody aroma of the sailing ships. 

Sunlit, sophisticated, refined.  The scent of a lost city and its trading ships.

Scent Profile

Sparkling notes of citrus fruits piled in baskets on the deck, greet you with their zingy embrace. Colorful orbs of Bergamot and Lemon fill the air with their clean, sharp freshness. Sailors cut into the fruits, revealing sharp bursts of citrus peel and juice. 

Boxes of knobbly Benzoin and Labdanum resin are stacked next to overflowing wooden buckets of fresh Orange Blossom and Rose boughs, ready to sell at market and bring their luscious scent to homes all over the island. 

A rich balsamic undercurrent drifts into waves of golden Amber before a magnificent crescendo of dry, dominant woods takes over. Cedarwood crashes into rich Sandalwood and explodes into rich woody embrace leaving you with the ancient echoes of the trading ships of Olous. 

Choose NO. 5601 for its bold and evocative woody character and to transport yourself back in time. Tailored for people who like their scents highly aromatic, woody and sophisticated.

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.
