White Sandalwood, from Goldfield & Banks Australia was released in 2016. The perfumer behind this creation is Francois Merle-Baudoin. The notes are Amber, Pepper, Rose, Saffron, Sandalwood, Thyme.
The name does not match the scent in my opinion, or is at least misleading.
Opening is a jammy, dark, almost anamalic rose paired with a metallic saffron twinge and either these combined, or on its own, a dark oud note.
A lovely rose scent, but I feel offput from what I was expecting.
3 hours later it is settling past the dark rose intensity and has throw the pepper into the mix. It is finally woody, spicy, and a little dry and aromatic. Not as creamy as I expected but quite clean and sophisticated. There is still depth and floral, but the transformation is quiet interesting!
6 hours in, it's a gentle amber with a soft aromatic wood.

Lots of facets to this one!
