Indian Sandalwood
Dunhill (2019)

Recommended since this fragrance seems to use genuine Indian sandalwood.

I bought a 2ml vial because I did not want to buy a whole 100ml bottle on a blind buy and I don't use more than 10ml of fragrance within 3 months.

While the sandalwood is genuinely Indian, I feel that Dunhill could have sourced higher quality sandalwood but this is nonetheless a head turning fragrance for men.

reminds me of a less inspired FM Dries Van Noten

At the start you can smell a mossy green bergamot that has a slight annoying candy like tinge to it's nature. After a minute the soft sandalwood arrives and develops a creamy and milky like accord that is slightly sweet. Underneath the Sandalwood you can still detect the bergamot with it's slight candy like tinge. This jelly-baby candy like accord becomes more prominent in the basenotes. And basically that is it from start to finish.

Now I like the Sandalwood accord as it's very nice but the fragrance is very linear and you cannot help wanting more. It's light but does have a distinct presence but I wish there was more complexity to this one. But though I like it I think I would get bored of it quickly. It costs a £120 which I think is too much.

It's nice, but not groundbreaking. It's mostly a linear javanol.
Just a like for me.
