By the editors · 2 min readSantalum Slivers opens with bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit forming a bright, slightly juicy citrus layer that quickly gives way to the real subject: sandalwood. The citrus here acts as a lens rather than a focus, sharpening the wood beneath it.
Vetiver adds an earthy, rooty underpinning to the sandalwood, keeping it from becoming too creamy or soft. Rose appears quietly in the background, contributing a faint floral lift without asserting itself as a floral fragrance. Musk rounds out the dry-down, making the whole thing feel skin-adjacent and unhurried.
The result is a woody-citrus composition anchored by sandalwood and structured by vetiver — clean, direct, and more aromatic than sweet. Works well across seasons.
