By the editors · 2 min readSandalwood opens creamy and blond, immediately wrapped by smoky myrrh and a full-bodied amber accord that turns the wood sweet rather than dry. Jasmine and rose bloom through the heart, their white-yellow petals dusted with peach fuzz and vanilla sugar that softens the resinous pull of myrrh and patchouli. The composition stays linear: the opening sandalwood-amber-vanilla trio is restated in the base, now tinged with musk that adds a faint salt-skin radiance instead of animalic heft. Projection remains close but persistent, creating a private incense cloud perfect for cool evenings or meditative travel.
