The intention
“I wanted to recreate the sensation of a soft, soothing wood oil. Sandalwood, with its creamy texture, was an obvious choice in my mind because it subconsciously evokes the idea of a pure and tender white. To accentuate this facet as much as possible, I added a note of fig milk and a powdery musk accord.“
Michel Almairac, Perfumer.
