Frequently Asked Questions

What does sandalwood smell like in perfume?

Sandalwood has a rich, creamy and milky woody aroma with a smooth, warm signature. Unlike dry woods like cedar, it feels velvety and soft, often developing a comforting skin like sweetness as it dries down.

Does sandalwood perfume last long?

Yes, sandalwood is a heavy base note with excellent longevity. Its dense molecular structure slows down evaporation, allowing it to anchor a fragrance on the skin or clothes for 8 to 12 hours.

Is sandalwood a masculine or feminine scent?

Sandalwood is completely unisex. It adapts beautifully to both profiles, adding a rugged, creamy depth to traditional masculine colognes and a smooth, comforting warmth to feminine floral or amber perfumes.
