A white sandalwood from Indonesia obtained by vacuum-assisted hydrodistillation, during which the temperature never exceeded 80 °C. Working at a low temperature, the oil is drawn out gently and keeps the most delicate facets of the wood.

＋ 01 — Origin and botany

Santalum album L., the white sandalwood, is a tree of the Santalaceae family native to Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands, the Philippines and northern Australia. In Indonesia it grows within its natural range.

The aromatic material lies in the heartwood, the inner wood of the trunk and roots, which becomes richer in oil as the tree ages.

＋ 02 — Extraction and production

Sandalwood is traditionally hydrodistilled: the ground wood is kept in boiling water, at around 100 °C, for days. For this batch, a vacuum was applied to the still. Lowering the pressure lowers the boiling point of water, so the distillation was carried out without ever exceeding 80 °C.

This lower temperature puts less thermal stress on the oil during the long distillation that sandalwood requires. The components that define its scent are α- and β-santalol.

＋ 03 — Olfactory profile

The pure oil. Creamy, warm and woody, with a clean, refined texture.

＋ 04 — Applications in perfumery

Florals and attars: wherever a sandalwood that does not weigh the composition down is needed.
Study: alongside our steam-distilled Indonesian sandalwood, to compare how the distillation method changes the texture and longevity of the same wood.

Salida deliciosa y el secado también, después de la salida se vuelve empolvado con un aire vintage y lo siento que se inclina hacia lo femenino aunque globalmente es unisex. Creo que está bien equilibrado con ingredientes top. Una maravilla.

Algo absolutamente diferente a lo que había olido hasta ahora.
Muy complejo.
Tardaré meses en aprehender todos sus matices.
En un futuro, compraré el formato de 5 ml.

Pasta de Civeta Natural — Etiopía — Pura

Simplistic ingredient list that hides an elegant development.
Powdery rooty facets surround a clean oud mix in which Hainan profile shines brighter, woody slightly resinous, sweet and leathery notes are predominant, with orris root as a continuous support. Ambergris can be felt soon and gains strength as time progresses, respectful to the oud.

Longevity is excellent, projection is more subtle but, as attar standards go, it's enough and suited to the elegant character of the composition. Thanks to that, it probably can be worn throughout the whole year, and I can confirm it survives on skin enough to be felt after a dip at the sea. Having said that, it probably suits more daily wear, specially if you work dressed up in a suit. Traditionally masculine leaning but I think it would suit anyone willing.

Underpriced for what it is and its ingredients. I'm glad I bough three grams as I gave one to a friend as a present and I keep two.

The owner of the brand is also really communicative, open and a good inspiration for those that want to share his passion.
