Sandalwood, 2016: Plantation + Javanol

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.
