Character and History of the Fragrance
Tanaïs Sándalo is a woody unisex perfume released in 2016 by the American brand Tanaïs.
The brand specialises in perfumes and extrait concentrations, so Sándalo is perceived from the very beginning as a rich, expressive composition for those who appreciate a noticeable perfume presence.
The fragrance was created by the perfumer and brand representative Tanaïs.
The release is not part of the announced collection; its character is built around woody, mineral and spicy nuances brought together in a dense and unusual composition.
Olfactive Profile
The main theme of Tanaïs Sándalo is sandalwood, complemented by the dryness of cedar, cool spicy cardamom, smoky ash and a distinctive tes stone accord.
This combination steers the composition away from the familiar soft creaminess of sandalwood towards a stricter, more textured and almost architectural scent.
The fragrance belongs to the woody family, with woody, mineral and spicy nuances standing out among its note groups.
As a result, Sándalo may evoke not so much a classic cosy perfume as the atmosphere of heated wood, dry earth and a stone bearing a delicate trace of smoke.
Development and Sillage
At the opening, the composition smells focused and spicy: cardamom adds an energetic impulse, while mineral nuances create a sense of coolness and clean lines.
As it develops, the woody notes become more prominent, forming a dense heart without pronounced sweetness.
The base feels deep, dry and smoky: sandalwood softens the austerity of cedar, while ash and the stone accord preserve the characteristic contrast.
Tanaïs Sándalo has very strong sillage, allowing the fragrance to make a lasting impression and making it especially suitable for those who enjoy noticeable, distinctive compositions.
Who Will Enjoy Tanaïs Sándalo
This is a unisex fragrance with no strict association with either a masculine or feminine wardrobe.
It will appeal to fans of dry woody compositions, mineral accords and characterful perfumes that unfold in an unconventional way and do not try to please everyone from the first breath.
Because of its high concentration and very strong sillage, Sándalo is best worn in cool weather, for evening outings and in settings where an intense scent is appropriate.
No precise dosage recommendations for application to skin or clothing are provided in the database, so it is sensible to start with a small amount and add more later if needed.
