Chanel, Guerlain and niche counters share a family and disagree on dose.
Houses
- Guerlain — Samsara.
- Chanel — Bois des Îles.
- Le Labo — Santal 33.
- Diptyque — Tam Dao.
- Kannauj houses — Attar trade.
- Givaudan — Javanol infrastructure.
Price bands
- Javanol designer EDP — Most “sandalwood” on a mall wall.
- Niche savory sandal — Santal 33 descendants.
- Attar tola — Oil economy, not ml of alcohol.
- Plantation-album extrait — Legal luxury wood.
Trends
- Traceable plantations — Anti-fraud copy.
- Savory sandal — Pickle-leather.
- Synth honesty — Named Javanol in some indies.
- Attar crossover — Alcohol houses borrowing tola aesthetics.
Stats
- Heartwood only — Sapwood is not the perfume crop.
- CITES watch — Album is not a free commodity.
- Attar logic — Sandal can be solvent, not only a note.
- Longevity — Among the longest-wearing naturals when real.
