Sandalwood, Explained
A class of woods known for its lasting aromatic scents, sandalwood is often claimed to be the most expensive wood in the world. As one of the oldest materials to make incense, it has been used for roughly four thousand years. It's also still the most commonly used incense material in China, Korea and Japan, and is used frequently for ritual purposes.
A particularly expensive note, sandalwood trees must be at least 15 years old before harvesting and need to be removed entirely from the ground rather than felled. That's because the stump and roots contain high amounts of the sandalwood oil that remains so fragrant.
The Perfect Perfume for Winter
The scent is rich and warm, a woody fragrance with a buttery and creamy roundness that helps it blend seamlessly between spicy edge and earthy comforts. The slightly sweet nature of sandalwood makes it a sensual fragrance perfect for heightening skin scents and elevating comforting gourmands.
The warmth of sandalwood is what makes this note a standout for winter fragrance. And in the combinations that lean into sweet and comforting, the scent inspires a luxe richness that would make any heiress happy. A rich girl needs rich notes, after all.
Additionally, the long-lasting nature of this scent makes it a loved companion in fragrance, helping other notes stick to the skin for longer wear.
