How it was made
01
There was no brief. A broker offered us 6kg of legally-harvested twenty-year Mysore sandalwood and Jonas built a formula around it in eleven weeks.
02
Mysore sandalwood at this age is creamy, almost lactic, and completely unlike the Australian substitute that replaced it in most modern formulas. There is no more of this batch, so there will be no more of this fragrance.
03
Resin and cardamom, then a very long sandalwood that behaves more like a skin scent than a wood. It is the softest extrait we have made despite being the most concentrated.

I have a decant of a 1980s formula for comparison. This is the same material. Extraordinary.
An extrait that whispers. Bought two bottles when I read there would be no restock.
