Giardino Benessere Sandalo e Mirra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Paolo Terenzi. Sandalo e Mirra opens with Bergamot, Geranium, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Lavender, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Teak. Giardino Benessere's Sandalo e Mirra carries an Acquired verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This woody aromatic is surprisingly divisive for something so smoothly blended, with some finding it too feminine, others too sweet, and a few even calling out fake reviews. But if it hits right, expect a warm, spicy embrace that lasts and projects.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

About

Sandalo e Mirra opens with a bright, aromatic sparkle of bergamot and geranium, uplifted by a dash of cardamom. As it settles, a comforting heart of lavender, cinnamon, and nutmeg emerges, weaving a warm and inviting spice. The journey concludes with a rich, creamy dry-down of sandalwood, grounded by earthy oakmoss and the subtle, elegant presence of teak.
