santal woods notes: sandalwood bark, cardamom pods and soft leather

the story behind santal woods: australian woodland

santal woods comes from the australian bush, where the bark sits warm in the sun all afternoon.

a walk through old woodland

picture a stand of old trees a long way from town.
the ground is dry. the bark has been baking all afternoon.
somewhere off in the distance, someone has lit a fire.

it smells of earth, a little smoke and warm timber.
nothing about it is loud.
it feels like it has been there for a very long time.

from the bush to the bottle

  • the bark: creamy sandalwood and virginia cedar, the backbone of the scent
  • the smoke: cardamom adds a dry spice, like a fire you can smell before you see
  • the softness: violet and iris round off the wood, so it never turns harsh
  • the trail: amber and papyrus linger, like dry timber and worn leather
