Sandalo by Acqua di Parma is built around warm, creamy sandalwood, with a spiced citrus lift at the start. Cardamom and bergamot open it crisp and a little peppery, before violet leaf and rose soften the middle with a powdery green calm. The base is where it settles: sandalwood, musk and vanilla, smooth rather than sweet. Launched in 2017 and worn by men and women alike, it suits anyone who wants sandalwood without heaviness. Wearers reach for it across autumn, winter and spring, mostly in the evening though it works by day too. The longevity vote leans moderate to long-lasting, and the sillage vote leans moderate as well. A 10ml decant carries you through a full season of testing before you commit to a full bottle.
