Sandalwood and Wood

1 perfumes

Sandalwood and Wood notes form the creamy, meditative backbone of the Woody olfactive family. Sandalwood specifically offers a milky, velvet-smooth texture with subtle hints of toasted nut and balsamic sweetness, while broader wood accords provide a dry, structured foundation. These notes pair naturally with saffron and spicy cardamom, creating the sophisticated, resinous profiles favored in the Gulf. Because of their exceptional tenacity, they act as a perfect fixative, grounding volatile top notes and ensuring a fragrance lingers through the intense heat of the desert climate. In regional perfumery, these woods are often layered with heavy doses of musk or amber, serving as the essential canvas for complex oil-based compositions that require both depth and a polished, lingering trail during evening majlis gatherings.
