House of Brandt Bois de Santal EDP

Description

Bois de Santal is sandalwood from the first spray to the last, softened with orris and violet and warmed with vanilla. House of Brandt released it in 2024, and the house sums it up as a cashmere sweater worn in a boutique New York hotel. Sandalwood appears in every tier of the pyramid. Cardamom gives the opening a gentle spice, orris butter and violet make the heart soft and powdery, and vanilla, cashmere woods and a thread of olibanum round out a warm, creamy base. It is a comfort scent more than a statement.

Scent Character

Translation: woody above everything else, which is the sandalwood. Orris and violet supply the floral share, vanilla the sweetness, cardamom the spice, and the smoky row is a small amount of olibanum, not oud.

FAQ

Does Bois de Santal contain oud?
No. The faint smoky note is olibanum (frankincense). The woods are sandalwood and cashmere woods.

Is it men's or women's?
Unisex. Creamy sandalwood and powdery orris wear well on anyone.

Is it sweet?
Lightly. Vanilla rounds the base, but the sandalwood stays in charge, so it reads woody and creamy rather than gourmand.

When is it best worn?
Cool weather, the office and evenings. It is soft enough for close quarters.
