Sandalwood, 2000s: Javanol years · 533
Smell Sandalwood on paper before it touches skin. The year to write is 2000s, the line is “Javanol years,” and the figure is 2000. Do not lay two scents on the same wrist and call it a comparison. Jean-Paul Guerlain (1937–, France) is still the story a counter tells when this family needs a name.
Creamy santal, milk and temple wood — Mysore memory, Australian farms and the softest lasting base in the atlas. Sandalwood is milk and temple — the creamiest wood, and the one whose forests now have to be farmed. Sandalwood sits in the Earth group of this atlas. Wood and moss — dry timber, sandal, oud smoke, vetiver root and chypre.
Creamy santal — milk and temple wood, now mostly farmed. Wild Mysore is a story, not a supply chain. Concentration is oil in alcohol, not a quality score. EDT (about 5–15%) shows more top; EDP (about 15–20%) shows more heart and base. Houses vary; this is not a lab assay. One or two sprays on skin or cloth — sternum or hair, not a cloud in a lift. Let it turn an hour before you add more.
Cool to cold, close to skin. Heat turns creamy wood into sun lotion. Yes. Warm, moist skin amplifies sweet and spice; dry or cool skin can turn the same juice woody, soapy or short. Test on your skin, not only a blotter. IFRA sets industry limits on some naturals and synthetics. A reformulation is usually a legal edit, not a betrayal. This atlas is not a safety sheet.
Speak of Sandalwood as 2000s, “Javanol years,” and 2000. A scent is an order, not a ranking.2000s
