By the editors · 2 min readSantal Calling is Antoine Maisondieu's study of Australian Sandalwood Album — a material with a distinct creaminess and luminosity compared to its Mysore counterpart. The nutmeg opening is brief and warm; iris and milk in the heart create a soft, slightly powdery-sweet accord that prepares the skin rather than performing on it.
The sandalwood arrives fully in the base, supported by vanilla and musk, and it stays there — close, clean, intimate. Ex Nihilo's house aesthetic is minimal luxury, and this composition earns that positioning: it doesn't overclaim, doesn't project, simply occupies skin beautifully for hours. For those who reach for sandalwood-forward fragrances as a form of wearable comfort.
