Spicy dry sandalwood
As opposed to the other two perfumes in the Arabian Heritage Collection, Al Sandal is not just about sandalwood. I get a big spicy accord, that is listed only as saffron in the notes, but I get a good amount of cumin and cinnamon as well - the coumarin perhaps contributing a cinnamon feel. And this accord is not limited to the opening but pervades throughout the fragrance. I was hoping for a more creamy scent, but here the sandalwood is dry and dusty. There is not much in the way of sweetness either. Performance is the worst of the 3, only lasting about 4 or 5 hours on my skin.
