Bois 1920 Sandalo e The is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005. Sandalo e The opens with Caraway, Lemon, Orange, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Cedar, Patchouli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Tobacco, and Myrrh. Bois 1920's Sandalo e The carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a really interesting one: a fresh, warm, spicy take on tea and sandalwood. Some find the caraway a bit much, but stick with it for a refined, comforting drydown that's perfect for when you want something a bit different but still approachable.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

About

Opens with a lively, bitter lemon and orange zest, quickly joined by herbal notes of rosemary and a distinctive tea accord. A surprising kick of caraway adds a spicy, almost cumin-like warmth, which can be divisive. As it settles, a smooth cedar and patchouli provide a woody backbone, softened by subtle florals. The base reveals a comforting blend of creamy sandalwood, a whisper of dry tobacco, and balsamic myrrh, evolving into a sophisticated skin scent.
