by Crabtree & Evelyn
Indian Sandalwood by Crabtree & Evelyn presents a crisp, aromatic interpretation of sandalwood, blending lavender, cinnamon, and a clean, soapy woodiness with soft spiciness. It opens fresh and slightly herbal, with elemi and bergamot lending a light uplifting quality before settling into a delicate, woody base of cedar and vetiver. The sandalwood note is present but restrained—more creamy and smooth than deep or oily—resulting in a comforting, almost soap-like drydown. While the fragrance feels elegant and refined, longevity is short, and sillage is modest, making it a true skin scent. It suits spring and autumn days, particularly during formal or professional settings, and appeals most to those seeking a quiet, unobtrusive yet sophisticated aroma. Many note it functions best as a daily wear performer with consistent praise for its clean, calm, and discreet profile, especially when layered under other scents or worn after a shower.
