Fragrance information:
Francis Oud & Sândalo — a woody fragrance with Brazilian character
Francis Oud & Sândalo is a unisex 2024 fragrance from Francis, a Brazilian perfume brand.
The composition is presented as an eau de parfum and built around an expressive combination of guaiac wood, cinnamon and sandalwood.
The fragrance belongs to the woody family and comes across as warm, spicy and rich at the same time.
Its character will appeal to those looking for a distinctive fragrance with a deep sillage, a soft woody base and a striking presence without being tied to any gender.
Scent development and character
At the opening, Francis Oud & Sândalo reveals a slightly dry, smoky-woody facet of guaiac wood.
As the composition develops, it grows warmer: spicy cinnamon adds a cozy sweetness and a gentle piquancy, after which the scent gradually softens into a creamy, velvety accord of sandalwood.
The fragrance has very strong sillage, making it suitable for occasions when you want to make an impression and leave behind a memorable trail.
Francis Oud & Sândalo is especially fitting for cool weather, evenings, meetings, formal occasions or any other setting where a rich woody-spicy composition can unfold most expressively.
The perfumer and its place in the Francis collection
The composition was created by Carmita Magalhães.
In her interpretation, the fragrance's name receives a literal olfactory continuation: an oud-woody mood merges with warm sandalwood, while cinnamon makes the transitions between the accords smoother and more seductive.
There is no available information about a separate collection, other concentrations or the recommended amount to apply to skin or clothing.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small number of sprays and see how the fragrance behaves specifically on your skin.
Similar fragrances
For further exploration of rich woody compositions, consider Lalique Eau de Lalique, Viktor & Rolf Antidote and The Spirit of Dubai Turath.
Among these styles, Francis Oud & Sândalo stands out for its combination of spicy cinnamon and smooth sandalwood, so it is worth trying on skin rather than judging it solely by its notes.
