Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1976. Sandalwood opens with Citrus and Green Notes, settles into a heart of Cedar and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Crabtree & Evelyn's Sandalwood carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is *the* sandalwood to which all others are compared, leaving devotees in a frenzy of nostalgia and desperate eBay searches. Its richness and depth are universally praised, though its potency demands a light hand.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Its potent nature and strong projection mean it's best reserved for cooler weather and appropriate for more dressy occasions or intimate dates. While versatile, its robust character might be too intrusive for a close-quarters office environment if over-applied.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a clean, classic burst of citrus and green notes, quickly softened by aromatic lavender and the dry, woody hint of cedar. The heart gives way to a creamy, buttery sandalwood, perfectly balanced by earthy vetiver and a warm whisper of amber, creating a deep, resonant, and remarkably natural woody fragrance that lingers beautifully.
