Sandalwood, : Kannauj attars
Creamy santal, milk and temple wood — Mysore memory, Australian farms and the softest lasting base in the atla Smell Sandalwood on paper before it touches skin. The year to write is , the line is “Kannauj attars,” and the figure is 1. Do not lay two scents on the same wrist and call it a comparison. 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.
Creamy santal, milk and temple wood — Mysore memory, Australian farms and the softest lasting base in the atlas.

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.

Speak of Sandalwood as , “Kannauj attars,” and 1. A scent is an order, not a ranking.1
