Le Jardin Retrouvé Sandalwood Sacré is a unisex fragrance that opens with lemon and aldehydes, moves through a floral heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang, and settles into sandalwood and oakmoss, fresh yet powdery and woody.

What does Sandalwood Sacré smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Voters lean towards fall and spring, and towards leisure and daily wear; most read it as feminine, though a fair number also find it classic.

Lemon and aldehydes give it a bright, fresh start. In the heart, jasmine, ylang-ylang and geranium build a floral, green backdrop. The base brings woody, resinous depth from sandalwood, labdanum, patchouli and oakmoss, with tonka bean adding sweetness and civet a faintly animal warmth.
