White Sandalwood

4 perfumes

Derived from the Santalum album tree, white sandalwood offers a creamy, milky, and soft woody profile with subtle lactonic facets. Unlike the darker, earthier varieties, it possesses a luminous, ethereal quality. Primarily a base note, it provides a smooth, lingering foundation that anchors volatile top notes. In Gulf perfumery, it is a prized companion to Taif rose and saffron, acting as a sophisticated, velvet-like canvas that elevates these precious ingredients, embodying the region’s preference for refined, long-lasting elegance.
