What does Sandalwood Temple smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. Leisure and daily wear lead, while office and evening also get votes. Slightly more voters call it feminine, though the masculine vote is far from small.

It opens with bergamot, Moroccan neroli and orange blossom water absolute, giving a citrusy, floral brightness. Cedar in the heart builds a woody frame. In the base, sandalwood, gaiac wood and vanilla sweeten and soften, and the creamy, powdery accords take over, with a spicy edge.
