What does White Sandalwood smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer not far behind. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, which puts it somewhere in between.

Australian white sandalwood forms the core, with amber and Turkish rose adding a gentle, sweet floral warmth around it. Spanish saffron and Comorian pepper bring a spicy glow, and Moroccan thyme adds a green edge. Powdery and creamy accords round it all off. Gebauer & Gebauer By Appointment and Prada Luna Rossa Black have a close profile.
