sandalwood

resins
Resinous notes span bright pine-like freshness, sweet benzoin-like warmth, dark labdanum and dry incense. The balance can feel sticky and enveloping or crisp and austere.
How it works in a fragrance
The materials combine different textures rather than behaving as isolated layers. Dryness, warmth and softness can be emphasized in different proportions, changing the accord’s outline and the way it supports the rest of a perfume.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
