Mysore sandalwood is the benchmark the world measures sandal against — creamy, warm, almost milky, without the sourness of cheaper origins. It is so over-harvested that most 'sandalwood' fragrances are now synthetic. We use the real Mysore oil, and that is the entire point of this scent.
The sandalwood from Mysore, the orris for the cost of gold it always is, the spice to lift it. Nothing here is a shortcut, because the whole fragrance rests on the wood being true.
This is the everyday-luxury one — soft enough for the office, warm enough to sleep in. To the wrists and the throat; it sits close and lasts. Layers beautifully over skin in any season.
The arc
How it moves on skin.
Cardamom and a whisper of violet over the cream beneath.
Mysore sandalwood blooms full and milky, iris keeping it smooth and a little powdery.
Sandalwood, soft leather and musk — the warm, expensive hush that stays on a scarf for days.
