What does sandalwood smell like?
Sandalwood smells creamy, soft, and woody, like a warm hug in a scent. It is not sharp or loud. Over 3,179 perfumes in the FragranVerse database use it because it blends smoothly with other notes. In India and UAE heat and humidity, it stays calm and does not turn sour. For a beginner, try a sandalwood oil or attar first. It lasts well on skin and feels grounded even in hot weather.
