The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Russian Adam crafted Al Sandal by Areej Le Doré in 2024, weaving a composition that balances the metallic and aromatic with the warmth of Indian sandalwood and saffron. The fragrance opens with the bright, spicy notes of saffron before settling into a heart of coumarin and Indian sandalwood. This interplay creates an intriguing tension between freshness and depth, making it both modern and lasting. Areej Le Doré's commitment to using rare, high-quality ingredients is evident here, creating a scent that feels like a carefully curated blend of global traditions.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms gradually, so apply it in layers — a few sprays to start, followed by a touch-up after an hour. The initial saffron note is bright but fades quickly; the base of Indian sandalwood and coumarin will carry you through the day.
