About

24 rue de l'Université is built around a truly exceptional sandalwood, creamy and smooth right from the off, with absolutely zero of that 'pickle juice' aroma some people detest. It's bolstered by a warm, woody cedar and a hint of mysterious incense, while a subtle caramelised toffee note adds a touch of rounded sweetness that prevents it from becoming too dry. This is a sophisticated, clean woody scent that hints at quiet luxury rather than shouting about it.
