Angela Flanders Artillery No 5 Sandalwood is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004. Artillery No 5 Sandalwood settles into a heart of Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Angela Flanders's Artillery No 5 Sandalwood carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Mysore-style sandalwood, soft and creamy with a faint rosiness, laid over smooth cedarwood. The Eau de Toilette is the lighter of the two concentrations, and the brand positions it as the one to wear generously.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

Creamy sandalwood over cedarwood is a cool-weather structure: the woods read richer as temperatures drop. Autumn and winter suit it best, spring is workable, and it turns heavy in summer heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its refined woody and powdery accords make it an excellent choice for formal settings and office wear, offering a subtle yet distinguished presence. While suitable for casual wear too, its inherent elegance might feel a tad formal for overtly relaxed activities.

About

Sandalwood is the whole point here: soft, milky and slightly sweet, with the rosy facet good sandalwood tends to carry. Cedarwood underneath adds a drier, sharper wood that stops it turning too creamy. There is very little top structure, so it settles into its wood accord almost immediately. Angela Flanders bottles this scent at two strengths. The Eau de Toilette is the lighter of the two: the brand's own guidance is that the Eau de Toilette is for applying more liberally and more often, while the Eau de Parfum is for people who spray less frequently and want greater longevity. The composition is the same; what changes is how long it stays and how far it carries. Angela Flanders lists this one as wearable by men or women, and the balance bears that out. Sandalwood soliflores are a small category, so the natural comparisons are the sandalwood-forward niche compositions rather than anything on the designer shelf.
