The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017 by Sana Jardin and crafted by perfumer Carlos Benaïm, Sandalwood Temple is a captivating Oriental Woody fragrance for women. The composition opens with bergamot and Tunisian neroli, which introduce a fresh and aromatic top note before giving way to the heart of orange blossom and cedar. At its core, the scent settles into a warm embrace of sandalwood, vanilla, guaiac wood, and Haitian vetiver, creating a cocoon of powdery warmth and spiciness that envelops the senses.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a gentle yet lasting presence. The aromatic top notes are fleeting, so focus on allowing the rich base to develop over time. It pairs well with cooler evenings but can be worn year-round.
