Crabtree & Evelyn Extract of Mysore Sandalwood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1970. Extract of Mysore Sandalwood settles into a heart of Amyris, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Crabtree & Evelyn's Extract of Mysore Sandalwood carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a beautiful, classic sandalwood scent that, despite its mild nature and poor performance, holds a special, almost nostalgic place in the hearts of those who remember it. Just don't let current absurd resale prices fool you into expecting a powerhouse extrait.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Formal

Its very light and discreet nature, with many noting it's a skin scent after a couple of hours, makes it suitable for office and casual wear. It's also ideal for freshening up after sport due to its subtle profile, but lacks the longevity and projection for formal events or dates where you want to make a statement.

About

Opening with a gentle whisper of creamy sandalwood, this fragrance quickly settles into a comforting, powdery embrace. Delicate jasmine and exotic ylang-ylang weave through the composition, adding a subtle floral sweetness that prevents the wood from becoming too austere. A touch of balsamic warmth rounds out the base, creating a smooth, elegant, and understated woody aromatic experience reminiscent of freshly carved sandalwood.
