Sandalwood Perfume

Like most woody scents, sandalwood is the heart and soul of many luxury perfumes. It’s creamy – some would even say buttery and milky – and gives off a rich, warm, and earthy aroma. And while the smooth note stands well on its own, where it truly shines is when combined with other ingredients.

Sandalwood makes an excellent base note for more complex scents, bringing generous nuance and warmth along with it. No matter what it’s paired with, sandalwood will always produce a rich and uplifting scent. The fragrant wood is often paired with white floral notes like jasmine, ylang-ylang, magnolia, tuberose, and gardenia. It can also be combined with other sweet, fruity or citrusy fragrances to help stabilize their volatile scent profiles and add longevity.

Smell sandalwood in Diptyque Tam Dao Eau de Toilette, a woody unisex masterpiece inspired by the Tonkin region of northern Vietnam. This exceptionally pure and powerful woody fragrance combines aromatic sandalwood and cedar with cypress and myrtle, layered with white musk and spices. Comforting, familiar, and versatile for all seasons, this is one sandalwood perfume you’ll definitely want to keep in your fragrance repertoire. If you’re looking for another, take on the perfect sandalwood perfume for men and women, you might want to check out Le Labo Fragrances’ Santal 33 Eau de Parfum. Sandalwood opens strong for this popular cult favourite, later joined by leather and cedar, and spicy cardamom. Violet and iris further add powdery nuances to the scent. Overall, a well-balanced fragrance that does its sandalwood base some true justice, even if its price makes it out of reach for most.

Some honorable mentions include Tom Ford’s Santal Blush Eau de Parfum, a cinnamon-sandalwood fragrance that’s equal parts smooth and spicy; as well as Chanel’s Coco Eau de Parfum, an enchanting blend of jasmine and patchouli layered with sandalwood.

Sandalwood is both warm and alluring – the perfect fragrance to carry with you year-round. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day at work or simply to experience the sensual pleasures of a romantic interlude with your special someone, a bottle of sandalwood perfume is the perfect way to set the mood.
