One of my favourite heady sandalwood scents is the divine Guerlain Samsara. I prefer the vintage formulations as they contain almost nuclear levels of the precious and now *restricted sandalwood and jasmine. But mostly sandalwood.

Guerlain Terracotta Voile d’Ete – Scent of Sun, Hot Sand and Gold
Oh….leave it to Guerlain to take a feeling, a place, and a time, and to bottle it.

Body Oil For The Senses
Lierac is a French beauty line created in 1975 by a French dermatologist, Dr Leon Cariel, and is designed to help with aesthetic skincare issues.. I’d read about their products and had been keen to try them, but the one product I was dying to try was unavailable until recently. Thank the beauty gods for…
Fragrance For Dads That Hate Cologne
