Sandalwood Temple by Sana Jardin presents a softly sweet, creamy sandalwood experience with vanilla and a subtle powdery warmth. The opening is marked by a quick-burst of citrus and floral notes—bergamot, neroli, and orange blossom—before settling into a refined blend of guaiac wood, cedar, and vetiver. The fragrance unfolds in a linear, unobtrusive manner, emphasizing a clean, natural sandalwood presence with a soft vanilla sweetness throughout. The dry-down is subtle and skin-scented, with a faint, coconut-like undertone emerging in some wearers’ experiences. While many find it comforting and meditative, the scent lacks projection and longevity, leaving it mostly as a close-to-skin fragrance that diminishes quickly. Some wearers note it feels insubstantial, especially in warmer climates or on skin with low absorption. It suits those seeking a subtle, chilled-out sandalwood that evokes calm without complexity. The unisex appeal is strong, and it performs best in the cooler months or when wearing under garments for extended wear.
