Frequently Asked Questions about Sandalwood Perfumes
Mysore sandalwood vs. Australian sandalwood: which is better?
Mysore (India) is considered the most noble: creamy, sweet, persistent. Australian is woodier and drier. The choice depends on the type of composition you are looking for.
Is sandalwood suitable for all skin types?
Yes. It is one of the most "skin-friendly" notes: it blends very well with individual chemistry and provides a personal trail.
How to recognize a good sandalwood perfume?
Look for compositions where sandalwood is clearly the protagonist, with an opening of creamy wood that persists without becoming overly sweet or synthetic.
