Sandalwood Scents

Recommended Posts

Morocco! It smells like delicious sandalwood that's been warmed in the sun. I adore this one, and I wear it in the dead of winter when I'm ready for it to be summer again.

Favourite sandalwood at the moment is from the dead leaves series, Dead Leaves, Black Pepper, and Sandalwood.

In a similar vein but on the spring tip of things, Post-Mortem Laureatus is greener in spirit, and lists the notes as white sandalwood and twining ivy.

I'm loving Grooming Scene in a Brothel: Vanilla saffron, carnation absolute, bois de rose, myrrh, and sandalwood incense.

 

My other recent favorite is Crimson: The red of an open artery, the red of congealing blood, the red of a scarlet tomb: burgundy musk, bitter clove, crushed saffron, red sandalwood, and red oudh.

 

Any other reccs with sandalwood?

My current sandalwood faves are Sinus Amoris, Brown Jenkin, Mini Magdalene, and probably something I'll kick myself for forgetting.

Brown Jenkin for sure, The Little Wooden Doll, Rakshasa, and Volcano in Springtime from the 2016 Lupers. Of the 4, Brown Jenkin seems to have the greatest proportion of sandalwood.

Ah yes, Brown Jenkin, Sinus Amoris, and Volcano in Springtime are all wonderful. I'm still so grateful that I don't pick up any lotus in Volcano in Springtime!

I am in love with Volcano in Springtime, vanilla sandalwood heaven.

Ditto!

Me three. Edging out the instructional manual as my favorite luper. I reach for it every day.

Australian Sandalwood single note is a dream come true. And I'm liking Paramatman. The orange blossom is pretty strong at first, but the sandalwood lass and lasts.

I'm wearing The Unquiet Grave today. Lovely, chilly florals + sandalwood. Perfect for a hot summer day!

So far, Lyonesse and aged Plunder have been some of my favorites. Morocco is great on my boyfriend but there's something in it that doesn't work well on me (maybe the saffron). I'd love some suggestions for sandalwood/musk and sandalwood/spice blends, with minimal florals.

The White Rider. It is it.

One of my all time favorite GC scents. It's absolutely perfect and since you like it, hunt down The Mark from this past Luper release because it's the exact same, just a gorgeous dollop of sweet vetiver. PERFECTION

Volcano in Springtime (THE BEACH with a scoop of vanilla ice cream), Brown Jenkin (sweet, light, beachy, woody), Paramatman (suntan lotion with a creamy orange-banana milkshake)!!

 

Also love Sin (not heavy in the sandalwood but a gorgeous, rounded vanilla-spice amber!) and Gingerbread Sin (...the perfect christmas cookie...)

Brown Jenkin: why don't I just wear it every day until the weather turns cold again (with Fig & White Sandalwood HG?)
