NO. 1902
Inspired by: Vanille Antique by ByredoFragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 1902 Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles

NO. 1902 is a Woody Oriental fragrance for women and men. This fragrance was a conscious rejection of Vanilla as a gourmand, or sweet, edible aroma. Instead, inspiration was drawn from antiquity and the subtle Vanilla aromas that historical woods and resins often possess. This fragrance is more about the materiality of the antiques, rather than the delicious, edible, comfort and succor of sweet Vanilla.

Dark, woody, emotional.  A lingering atmospheric note.

Scent Profile

NO. 1902 opens like soft, dry, evening sunlight through a dust haze. It is a pale glow of fleeting Lemon, like light hitting richly patinated varnish. Dry coniferous notes suggest wooden beams and antique cabinetry. Freesia remains muted, restrained and distant so it feels like entering an old room where the shutters have just been opened, gentle light, floating dust, and a quiet stillness.

The fragrance’s resinous spine is built in the heart notes with a plush ambered warmth, evoking polished surfaces and creating a long-lasting, resinous glow. A ghostly floral nuance haunts the heart, dry, abstract, and almost faded, like timeworn objects. Plum notes add polish and Cedarwood oozes subtle spice and architectural structure, reinforcing the woody core. At the base of the heartspace we find the glimmering surface of the pool of Vanilla, that is not yet sweet, but shadowed and wrapped in dry woods and golden resin.

The soul of the scent lives in the base notes where Vanilla emerges slowly, restrained and unsugared. It is a true impression of Vanilla, dark and contemplative, sink into its alluring depths. Balsam and Cistus add smooth, polished texture, like varnish on wood, warm, tactile, and enduring.

Choose NO. 1902 for its evocative archived Vanilla, antique woods, and incense-darkened interiors, rather than for gourmand sweetness. Fleeting citrus and soft, floral shadows meet ambered balsamic depth and a lingering pool of dark, woody, Vanilla. It is an aroma that is balanced, contemplative, and non-performative.

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.
