Sandalwood

Woody Note

Sandalwood

Milky wood, quiet luxury.

What is it?

A slow-growing tree whose heartwood is distilled for its creamy oil.

Where it comes from

Historically Mysore, India; now largely Australia and New Caledonia.

What it smells like

Milky, warm, soft, faintly sour-sweet, with a skin-like finish.

In perfume

Sandalwood softens sharp edges and makes a fragrance feel expensive and close to the skin.
