Woody Sandalwood

Woody Sandalwood by Dossier is an unisex eau de parfum from 2020 in the budget price tier. It opens with cardamom, violet and iris, moves into sandalwood and papyrus and dries down to leather, cedarwood and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

An affordable take on Le Labo Santal 33.

Notes, explained

Opening

Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.

Heart

Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Papyrus Dry, smoky, papery wood. Vetiver's quieter cousin.

Dry-down

Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
