Bois de Santal

Bois de Santal is a soft, powdery sandalwood with a spiced, resinous finish, released by House of Brandt in 2024 and composed by Kamila Lelakova. It is worn by anyone.

Sandalwood runs through every stage, creamy, smooth and slightly milky, so the scent is less a pyramid than a study of one wood. Cardamom opens alongside it with a cool, aromatic spice. The heart adds violet and orris root, which bring a soft, cool, powdery, slightly cosmetic elegance that makes the wood feel refined rather than raw. The base deepens with cashmere wood, soft and warm, vanilla for a gentle sweetness, and frankincense for a dry, resinous, church-like smoke.

It suits autumn and spring and works well for daytime or evening. Anyone who likes creamy sandalwood with iris and a touch of incense should find it a comfortable, understated choice.
