Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1976. Sandalwood opens with Citrus and Green, 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.

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.
