Acqua di Parma Sandalo Eau de Parfum is a men's fougère that joins a fresh, citrusy opening to the sweet, woody warmth of sandalwood, and it sits most comfortably in spring and autumn.

What does Sandalo (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Lemon, bergamot, petitgrain and orange give a bright citrus start. In the heart, lavender and cardamom add a light, spicy fougère texture. Indian sandalwood leads the base, softened and sweetened by tonka bean and amber.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, then spring, and wear is spread across leisure, evening, daily and business use. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Acqua di Parma Colonia Sandalo and Marc Gebauer Vendetta have a close profile.
