NO. 5500 Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 5500 is a classic Woody Floral fragrance for women inspired by the artisanal feminine aesthetic of this iconic fashion house. 

Originally modelled around the idea of the stylish and sophisticated Chlóe blouse of the era. Perfectly capturing the diaphanous lightness of the fabric and its fluid freedom combined with the complexity and allure of being a woman. 

Luxurious, elegant, confident. It is the epitomé of effortless Parisian chic.

Scent Profile 

Fresh air weaves through a garden at golden hour, carrying the fresh, dewy scent of green citrus leaves, unfurling Fressias and blowsy Peonies greeting the sun. The rosy scent of Lychee brings sweet, fruity brightness to this revealing introduction.

Invigorating pops of Mint are sweetened by droplets of golden Honey and swathes of velvety Rose petals. Watery notes of Lily of the Valley entwine into the heady intoxication of tropical Ylang Ylang for a sumptuous, sensual heartspace. 

The cool breeze wafts into the warming embrace of smooth Amber and alluring ribbons of Musk. Fresh shavings of Red Cedar offer green, balsamic notes to meld into the earthiness of  Patchouli. Finished with a seductive and addictive powdery flourish of violet-like Orris root. 

Choose NO. 5500 for its polished and sophisticated feminine aroma, packed around a rosy heart. Perfect for those who like their scents meticulously tailored and unashamedly floral.

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.
