Indian Sandalwood

6 perfumes

Derived from the heartwood of Santalum album, Indian Sandalwood is the gold standard of creamy, milky woods. Its profile is soft, lactonic, and profoundly smooth, offering a lingering, velvet-like warmth. Primarily a base note, it acts as a masterful fixative, providing a seamless foundation for complex blends. In Gulf perfumery, it is an essential companion to Taif rose and aged oud, grounding their intensity with a sophisticated, meditative sweetness that resonates deeply with the region’s love for opulent, enduring scents.
