What does Sandalwood in Oak smell like?

Sandalwood and gaiac wood form the backbone, with sage adding a green freshness and pink pepper a light spice. Caramel and vanilla sweeten it into a creamy softness, while orris root and musk give it a powdery base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring a close third and summer well behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, though daily and business use also get votes. Masculine and feminine votes are close.
