Sandalwood Absolute Oil

Clive Christian Perfume Sandalwood Absolute Oil is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Sandalwood Absolute Oil opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Thyme, settles into a heart of Orris, Neroli, Ylang-Ylang, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Cedar, and Tonka Bean. Clive Christian Perfume's Sandalwood Absolute Oil carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly luxurious and sophisticated sandalwood. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but if you're after something rich, refined, and distinctly high-end, this is it. Don't expect a simple wood; this one's got layers.

About

It begins with a fleeting zest of bergamot and mandarin, quickly deepening into a complex heart where powdery orris, creamy ylang-ylang, and a hint of neroli intermingle. The real magic unfolds in the base, with a rich, almost buttery sandalwood taking centre stage, complemented by the warmth of vanilla and tonka, wrapped in the subtle sensuality of soft leather. It's woody, yes, but exceptionally smooth and refined.
