Sandalwood is arguably one of the most versatile notes in all of fragrance. The earthy, grounding aroma layers beautifully with just about anything, enhancing the richness of florals, grounding gourmands and bringing depth to spicy and citrus scents. It’s also revered for its gender neutrality and can be quite elegant all on its own.
In other words, there’s a reason that one overused sandalwood scent became so ubiquitous among cool kids. But for those looking to change up their santals from expected to interesting, the market has plenty of options to offer: eau de parfums that blend it with yuzu, tobacco and cardamom or cinnamon bark and ylang-ylang; candles that lean into its woodiness by adding palo santo; plus deodorants, body scrubs, lotions and hand creams that make it possible to weave the note into every aspect of your life (or your bathroom, anyway).
Ahead, we’ve rounded up 19 sandalwood-scented products that put the olfactory overachiever to good use. And not one of them has “33” in its name.
