Crabtree & Evelyn 2014 Cologne

Indian Sandalwood

Crabtree & Evelyn Indian Sandalwood is a Cologne launched in 2014. Indian Sandalwood opens with Cypress, Elemi, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Lavender, Ylang-Ylang, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, and Cedar. Crabtree & Evelyn's Indian Sandalwood carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a tricky beast because it's been discontinued and reformulated so many times. Still, if you appreciate a clean, easy-going woody aromatic with a touch of warmth, you'll find it a versatile and comforting wear. Performance is the biggest Achilles' heel, though.

Its clean, soapy woodiness makes it ideal for office and casual wear, projecting an aura of freshness without being overpowering. The generally poor longevity reported by users means it's less suited for long formal events or dates, where a stronger presence is often desired, though some find its subtle elegance suits romantic settings.

About

Indian Sandalwood opens with a fresh, green burst of cypress and bergamot, given a slightly resinous edge by elemi. This bright beginning soon mellows into a heart where creamy lavender and a whisper of ylang-ylang meet a gentle, warm cinnamon spice. The drydown settles into a classic sandalwood base, supported by grounding vetiver and cedar, delivering a smooth, woody, and subtly powdery finish.
