What does Beautywood smell like?

The scent rests on a woody core of sandalwood, rosewood and oud, wrapped in the sweet, creamy, resinous warmth of benzoin, vanilla and balsam. Cedar blossom adds a floral touch, while spicy and earthy shades and a faint animal edge deepen the oriental feel.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate, so it stays on skin for a long time without filling the room. Its warm, sweet build suits cooler weather, and it reads equally well on men and women. Label Amber & Rosewood and Nishane Santalové have a close profile.
