The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019, Indian Sandalwood by Alfred Dunhill is a Woody fragrance for men that channels the heritage of its British design house. This composition opens with the fresh greenness of carrot and bergamot before diving into the heart of orris and moss. The base, rich with sandalwood, patchouli, and cypriol oil, brings warmth and earthiness to the overall scent. It's a fragrance that balances crisp freshness with deep, enveloping notes, perfect for those who appreciate nuanced elegance.
Indian Sandalwood is best applied in layers — two initial sprays to capture the fresh top notes, followed by additional spritzes as needed. The earthy base takes time to bloom fully on skin, so give it a few minutes before reapplying.
