Original Santal

The name promises a wood, but the aromatic governs: juniper, rosemary and lavender, with the sandalwood held mid-structure rather than used as a floor. A soft close, cold-weather leaning.

Santal Wood

Lavender and pepper open dry, then cardamom and nutmeg warm a heart that incense holds upright. Sandalwood and cedar close on a milky, calm woodiness.
