South Pacific Sandalwood Perfume Oil

I love this. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more attracted to woody fragrances, as well as unisex-leaning. While I enjoy many different fragrance notes in perfumes, a noticeable woody base makes my heart sing. The more I wear this one, the more I love it. Which is disappointing, since it’s been discontinued. I know the sandalwood is synthetic, but Nest has created a solid translation. The lighter violet floral is a perfect match for the smooth and creamier sandalwood. I understand those who sense an aquatic nature, but I see it as more of a dewy fragrance. Like walking in the woods on a spring morning. Not what I would actually be smelling here in the evergreens of the Pacific Northwest, U.S., but that familiar dampness in the air mixed with the surrounding woods. This is a fabulous base for the similar-smelling No. 4 Bois de Balincourt by Maison Louis Marie.

This is an underrated one that I never hear anyone talk about! It’s a very beautiful and sweet sandalwood that blends nicely into the skin. Has a bit of a marine quality to it that reminds me of a lighter and sweeter version of salted muse (without the olive tree) by orebella. If you’re worried that this smells like Santal 33, it really doesn’t, it’s much much lighter and way sweeter on the dry down. I see this as the most layer-able scent of the whole lineup! I just saw that they reduced the price of the full size oil perfume to $66 and I just placed my order. I hope they bring us a body mist in this scent!

I am suprised by the low rating. I got this in the discovery set and this was one of my favorites. It smells so cozy and can be layered under so many different perfumes. It projects very well for an oil and everyone comments on it when I wear it. I think a lot of times sandalwood can be a little unpleasent but I never get tired of this one. I really adore this scent and hope it doesn’t get discontinued.

I got this in a sampler set and was surprised this was easily my favorite as I don't typically gravitate toward sandalwood. I love that this is more of a subtle scent, I catch whiffs of it throughout the day (longevity is great) and it's opened my eyes to a note Im now obsessed with. I'll likely be buying the full size when this runs out because it just smells soooo good

Personally adore this scent after just finding it! I’ve been looking everywhere for a sandalwood perfume that isn’t like being hit in the face with incense and that has something sweet to balance it out. This is it. For me, this is the holy grail of perfumes. It makes me think of visiting my family in Oklahoma while sitting around a fire in someone’s garden.
