Sandalwood Scented Candles

What sandalwood smells like

Sandalwood is soft, creamy wood. Warmer and rounder than cedar, milky rather than sharp, with a faint sweetness that keeps it from going dry. It burns slow and low, so it holds a room after the top notes are gone. Across this collection it shows up under coconut, under saffron and jasmine, under leather and smoke, and it does the same job each time, which is to make the blend feel smooth. It suits anyone who finds most woody candles too sharp.
