A classic oriental-woody fragrance.
The opening of the fragrance is quite fruity and floral, the freshness of jasmine and neroli mingles with notes of peach, which gives a surprisingly sweet but not intrusive start.
The heart notes are dominated by rose and cinnamon. The rose here is not a light, spring floral scent, but a rich, dark and velvety rose, which goes perfectly with the spiciness of cinnamon.
The focus in the base notes is on sandalwood, as the name of the perfume suggests. This creamy, warm woody note is made even more characteristic and deep by oud and leather. The oud note in this perfume is not too animalic or medicinal, but rather subtly smoky and elegant. The musk and amber provide a soft base, which further increases the longevity and silkiness of the fragrance.
This perfume is not for everyday use. It's an ideal choice for special events and evening occasions, but I think it's also perfect for colder autumn and winter days.
It smells a bit feminine to my nose, but it's a very nice scent.
