Sandalwood is the creamy-mineral base note that anchors the woody wing of niche perfumery, with Mysore sandalwood, Australian sandalwood and New Caledonian sandalwood each carrying distinct facets, milky, drier-mineral or sweeter. The sandalwood wing bridges between woody-daytime wear and the heavier amber-oriental and gourmand registers.

Gritti Vanilla Tana' for the sandalwood-vanilla extrait, Montale Woods & Spices for the sandalwood-spice composition, Spirit of Kings Zaurac for the sandalwood-oud. Longevity runs eight-plus hours, sillage moderate to heavy, mostly unisex. Sandalwood at Khrisha runs across Gritti, Montale, Spirit of Kings, Casamorati and Choix.
