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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for close encounters, scoring high for dates and casual wear. While some find it office-friendly due to its gentle nature, the sensuality could be a touch much for formal settings, and it's too subtle for sport.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Sandalwood in Oak opens with a gentle warmth, blending the soft spice of pink pepper with a hint of burnt sugar and aromatic sage. This quickly settles into a smooth, creamy sandalwood heart, nuanced by the rich, grounding depth of guaiac wood and the powdery elegance of iris. As it dries down, a subtle vanilla and frankincense emerge, creating a cozy, almost meditative finish that's quietly sensual and enduring.
