Quiet Hour
Sandalwood · Santalum album · Mysore · Karnataka
The hour after everyone has gone home.
Mysore sandalwood — the grade the world measures sandal against, and the one most fragrances now imitate with a synthetic — held against dry orris, cardamom and a small amount of leather. It sits on the body rather than travelling. Most people will not smell it. That is the point of it.

The material
Santalum album
The grade the world measures sandal against — warm, creamy, close to milky. Over-harvested to the point that most sandalwood in fragrance is now synthetic. This is the oil.

How it behaves
Cardamom and a little violet over the cream underneath.
The sandalwood opens full and milky; orris keeps it dry rather than sweet.
Sandalwood, soft leather and musk. It stays on wool for days.
Worn with
A.004 Ember
Quiet Hour first, then a single press of Ember. The saffron loses its metallic edge against the sandalwood cream. Use less Ember than you think.
