Declared Notes

sandalwood of Mysorewhite Chinese osmanthusambergris

The Architecture

A subtle sandalwood that has all the personality of the wood softened with osmanthus, Makassar is a soft sandalwood with a floral-meets-incense feel that renders it perfectly wearable no matter the season or time of day. The Indian sandalwood is slightly smoky and perfectly offset by the crisp lightness of osmanthus, while ambergris and tonka lend a touch of sweet warmth. Never heavy or complicated, Makassar is one of those rare sandalwoods that can be enjoyed in the height of summer or the depths of winter...a truly beautiful fragrance that announces its presence with subtlety and playful sensuality rather than blatant beat-you-over-the-head raw sexuality. This fragrance was formerly called Bois de Santal.
