The scent of ancient pillars in the Imperial Palace. Imperial Red Sandalwood isolates the creamy, spicy heart of Santal Dan Sha. We use Mysore-style Sandalwood oil known for its reddish hue and milky, buttery scent profile. It is majestic, calm, and eternal.

The scent opens with Cardamom. The heart is pure Red Sandalwood and Olibanum. The base is Cedar. It is linear and holy.
