Australian Sandalwood
Sandalwood is a soft, creamy wood note with milky, warm and gently dry facets. It can suggest polished wood and a rounded texture rather than the sharpness of fresh sawdust.

It gives florals a smooth foundation and supports musks, amber and spices. Its creamy quality can connect vanilla or lactonic notes with a drier woody structure.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
Understanding this note
Natural sandalwood oils vary by species and origin. Modern sandalwood effects also use specialized aroma molecules; a geographic note label does not by itself confirm the source of a finished perfume.
