The nostrils of the animals breathe creamy air
They sneak through the original wood,
brushing against the bark.
Shadows fall

The ending shocked me more in hindsight 馃檮
holds the memory of trees.

I was very skeptical and am now pleasantly surprised... There鈥檚 nothing weird in it that鈥檚 called sandalwood these days. It鈥檚 authentic... In the end, there鈥檚 a creamy sandalwood scent on the skin like it used to be 25 years ago, no fig, no coconut, maybe just the peel of the latter.
At first, it feels almost oily-creamy, even animalic. Could be deer musk mixed with civet. A bit too much of that. But once it fades, it becomes really wonderful. I prefer to dab it on. That way, I get the most from such dense scents... I especially love the bark I find in it. There鈥檚 also a minimal gourmand note; is it almond, is it cocoa... I don鈥檛 know. It鈥檚 too subtle to pinpoint. Anyway, despite its density, it鈥檚 not wild but crafted with love.
By the way, shavings are larger than chips, in case you didn鈥檛 know.
The scent sounds fantastic 馃槉
