      What Does Sandalwood Smell Like?

      Have you ever wondered…

      The Sandalwood scent is well known globally, yet most people are stumped when it comes to describing what Sandalwood smells like.  The scent is used in many exclusive fragrances for its sophisticated and revitalising features – so, what does Sandalwood smell like?

      The Sandalwood smell has a unique perfume with its own distinctive, woody fragrance profile that can be described as rich, earthy, uplifting and smooth. It has been used as a traditional ingredient for both masculine and feminine aromas due to its warm character.

      Where does Sandalwood come from?

      The clue is in the name. Sandalwood is a slow growing tree, native to Southern Asia and is part of the Santalum species. It is renowned for its weighty, yellow and aromatic wood that retains its scent for decades. These special properties have given it sacred status by many cultures, making it one of the most expensive woods in the world. Both the tree and its roots contain a yellow aromatic oil, which is then carefully extracted by steaming the wood. This oil is the source of the exquisite and exclusively deep, woody fragrance that is cherished in the world of perfumery.

      What is Sandalwood used for?

      The Sandalwood smell is famed for its popularity as a base note for some of the most treasured and luxurious scents in the world, due to its proclivity to exude depth and stability when mixed with other fragrances. Whether floral, fruity, or citrus, Sandalwood can be used to balance and encourage longevity of a perfume.

      Again we hear you ask… But what does Sandalwood smell like? Like other woody scents, Sandalwood’s smell is distinctively rich, earthy and spicy making it perfect for winter. Equally, this adaptable ingredient, used as carrier for other ingredients, is also ideal for warmer climates when combined with floral and fruity notes, surrounding the revitalised wearer in a balanced and invigorating scent.

      What scents go well with Sandalwood?

      Sandalwood is one of our best-selling fragrances and is adored by so many of of our customers. This has led us to pair other favourite fragrances with the woody, spicy scent.

      All our perfumes are made in England by expert perfumers and have been designed specifically for The English Soap Company.
