Santal season

These balmy nights call for sandalwood, aka santal—a sweet wood that is used for both men and women.

This elegant unisex scent is a favorite for perfumers to use either as a base or top note in their collection. Personally I love its creamy, woody scent that comes off as clean and yet earthy at the same time.

Check your dresser. And if you don’t already have one of these scents in your roster, then you are truly lacking in your collection. Here are my top picks.
