PERFUMER'S WORD
"Sandalwood is a sacred wood with warm, milky and cozy nuances. I've shaken it up with potent Ambrette, which blends hints of fruit, liqueur, amber and musk. It gives this round, enveloping wood a good dose of energy, emphasised by a highly expressive Turkish Rose Essence."
François Demachy, Parfumeur-Créateur Dior
