Sandalwood is a quintessential woody note, celebrated for its creamy, milky, and velvet-smooth texture that grounds a fragrance with a subtle, balsamic warmth. Unlike the sharp dryness of cedar or the smokiness of vetiver, sandalwood offers a rounded, lactonic sweetness that feels almost skin-like. It serves as a versatile backbone in perfumery, pairing naturally with bergamot in bright citrus accords to soften their edges, or blending seamlessly with rose to create sophisticated, opulent floral-woody compositions. In the Gulf, sandalwood is highly prized for its ability to withstand the intense heat of our climate, providing a lingering, meditative trail that remains elegant throughout the day. It is a staple in high-end regional perfumery, often used to anchor complex blends, ensuring that the scent profile remains balanced and refined even in the most humid conditions.
