Sandalwood perfumes: creamy, warm and serene

Sandalwood is one of the oldest and most treasured fragrance materials, used for centuries in incense, rituals and perfumes. Its scent is soft, creamy and woody with a milky, slightly sweet warmth that feels calming and sensual. Traditional Mysore sandalwood from India became extremely rare, so today perfumers often use sustainably grown Australian sandalwood or modern sandalwood molecules to capture its beautiful character.

How sandalwood is used

• As a base note, adding warmth and longevity to many perfumes.
• With florals, such as rose and jasmine, for creamy elegance.
• With spices and incense for a spiritual, oriental feel.
• With vanilla and tonka for a soft, comforting blend.

Who will love sandalwood?

Sandalwood suits anyone who enjoys understated, skin-close scents. It's naturally unisex and works well year-round, though it feels especially comforting in autumn and winter. It is also a great choice for people who find strong perfumes overwhelming.

Tips for wearing

1. Apply to moisturised skin to enhance its creamy texture.
2. Layer under a floral or citrus scent to add depth.
3. Try sandalwood body products for a subtle all-over scent.
