New Caledonian Sandalwood

3 perfumes

Sourced from the Santalum austrocaledonicum tree, New Caledonian Sandalwood offers a distinct, creamy profile with sharper, greener, and more lactonic facets than its Indian counterpart. As a foundational base note, it provides exceptional fixative longevity and a smooth, woody warmth. In the Gulf market, it is a prized companion to heavy ouds and Taif rose, acting as a sophisticated bridge that softens animalic edges while adding a velvety, meditative depth that resonates with the region’s love for opulent, lingering scents.
