Sandalwood, : Kannauj sandal bed
Choose Sandalwood by the note, not by the bottle photo. “Kannauj sandal bed” in titles that note, and 1 is strength or time. Shop lighting is not lasting power. An icon is a brief that other Sandalwood formulas still answer.
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. Any ethics or materials I should know? Read the materials chapter for the actual load. Niche and designer often share a family and disagree on dose.
On the blotter, keep , “Kannauj sandal bed,” and 1. Without them Sandalwood blurs.1
