Composition
Artisans Sandalwood Reserve by Aroma Artisans is an original Indian creation — not a dupe. Part of the house’s move from inspired scents to original perfumery.
This smells like an original, because it is one. Cardamom cracks at the start, green and sharp, like pods crushed between your palms, and then the sandalwood arrives, creamy and slow, wrapped in powdery iris like silk. There is amber warmth underneath, soft as lamplight, and a clean musk that keeps everything close to the skin. To me it feels like a quiet room with wooden floors and afternoon sun, Indian perfumery speaking in its own voice. A comfortable first pick — gentle, natural, easy to love.
