Sandal Rice
Fragrance notes
Character
You want a gourmand that feels grounded rather than sugary. The opening presents a steam of cooked rice that smells starchy and comforting. It is a soft start that avoids the sharp citrus found in many introductory accords.
Coffee enters the heart with a roasted bitterness that cuts through the initial softness. It provides a dark contrast to the pale top note. This transition prepares the foundation for the heavier elements waiting below.
The drydown is where Sandal Rice truly defines itself. Australian sandalwood and guaiac wood create a sturdy, woody backbone. Caramel and vanilla add a thick, resinous sweetness, while ambroxan gives the blend a modern, powdery finish. The woods prevent the sugar from becoming overwhelming.
This scent suits a quiet afternoon indoors when the air feels crisp outside. You are wrapped in a heavy knit blanket with a mug of dark roast nearby. The room smells of warm grains and polished timber.
