Collection: LES ÉCRINS - Precious Aromatics shining in Sandalwood oil

 In traditional Indian perfumery, Sandalwood oil is sometimes used as a “noble canvas” for other aromatics or blends; offering its "guests" a privileged expressive space, supporting them with its fixative properties and longevity. Of course, it also infuses them with its own spirit and presence.

This collection is dedicated to such Écrins.

Sometimes the aim is primarily to give space to unfold for the finer nuances of aromatics which would be too powerful on their own, like jasmine or osmanthus, sometimes it is to create unique new fragrant synergies, as is the case with the traditional mitti attar.

While some traditional Indian attars, result in the co-distillation of aromatics into a Sandalwood oil base (like with mitti attar, and also sometimes a complex set of ingredients like in the case of shamama attar), blends are also frequent, and many of them are also simply duets, like sandalwood-rose for example. 

Some products of this collection are delicate and discreet, other are powerhouses of kinds (see each item’s description).

Sandalwood is not meant here to be the star of the show, it is the canvas for other aromatics, like often used traditionnaly. We use sandalwood oils that are not overpowering and that are distilled from relatively younger trees compared to our stand-alone sandalwood oils.

For people looking for a strong sandalwood experience we recommend using oils from our dedicated (link below) that are described as such, and either layer them or blend them according to personal taste. Never hesitate to contact us to ask about such oils if you are unsure of which ones to use, and we always reocmmend ordering samples to make sure they fit your expectations.

For our artisan pure sandalwood oils see our dedicated Sandalwood collection.

We offer some of these products in bulk and wholesale quantities. Don't hesitate to contact us for inquiries.
