In this article, we present a selection of 8 Best Sandalwood Cologne. Sometimes warm, sometimes intense, the fragrances including sandalwood will perfectly accompany you all year round.
Sandalwood is one of the most precious woods in perfumery. Cologne with sandalwood gives off a sweet and warm scent. It is a woody note, therefore quite intense and strong, but manages to keep a velvety, sensual dimension.
Like all woody notes, sandalwood is generally present as the base note of a composition. It goes very well with a floral heart with lily of the valley, jasmine, or rose. In the background, we can find notes of vanilla or musky notes. One can quite accentuate the woody dimension of sandalwood with other tree notes such as vetiver or cedar.
Mainly used in men’s perfumery. It has been extended in recent years to unisex compositions and even feminine fragrances.
I would like to recommend you buy Serge Lutens Eau de Parfum. It is one of the best sandalwood cologne with the best fragrance.
