Caribbean Sandalwood

Caribbean sandalwood, often associated with the rich, balsamic, and soft qualities typical of sandalwood scents, presents a unique twist on the classic fragrance. Unlike its more famous relative, Indian sandalwood (Santalum album), Caribbean sandalwood tends to offer a slightly sweeter and creamier aroma. This distinct scent profile includes warm, milky, and slightly spicy nuances that make it both soothing and exotic.

The overall profile of Caribbean sandalwood is deeply woody yet carries lighter, almost floral top notes, which can sometimes give a hint of lush island vegetation—perhaps a nod to its tropical origins. Mid notes often feature a rich, earthy heart, enveloped in a creamy, almost coconut-like smoothness, which contributes to its luxurious feel. The base notes retain the classic sandalwood muskiness with a hint of vanilla and amber, providing a lingering warmth and depth.

Caribbean sandalwood oil is treasured in perfumery for its ability to blend harmoniously with other scents such as jasmine, rose, and patchouli, creating sophisticated, layered fragrances. It is also used in aromatherapy for its calming properties, potentially aiding in relaxation and stress reduction. As a scent, it's both grounding and uplifting, making it versatile for various applications from personal scents to elegant ambient fragrances.
