What is your favorite scent? Jasmine, vanilla, or perhaps musk? Can you imagine never being able to smell your favorite scent again? That is almost what happened to the sandalwood scent!
Because Sandalwood is so popular, it is used in many different perfumes. The small evergreen tree it comes from, takes over 40 years to mature. Because of this, it is considered endangered. However, the fragrance industry is taking measures to make sure authentic synthetics are available so the delectable scent is never lost!
Tru Fragrance is a custom fragrance development company who partnered with these companies to create the wonderful perfumes below!

Limited Edition: Fall 2012 HipNote SandalWood Review:
Top Notes: Calabrian, Bergamot
Middle Notes: Moroccan, Jasmin, Muget, Suede
Dry Down: Sandalwood, amber, musk, and whipped vanilla
Sandalwood is a scent I’ve smelled often in perfumes, but never knew what it was. I’m sure you’ve smelled it too. It is rich and seductive.
It smells very strong when your first spray it on. However, it dries down to a soft,sexy finish. The notes that are most prominent are sandalwood, jasmine, and a hint of musk.
Francesca’s Signature Review:
Top Notes: Fresh Bergamot, Orange Segments
Mid Notes: Sensual Jasmine, Exotic Rose
Base Notes: White Patchouli, Vetiver, Creamy Vanilla
Francesca’s signature perfume is a delightful floral blend. It is very floral when you first spray it, but becomes a little sweeter as it absorbs into your skin. It is a very sophisticated and sensual scent. It smells just like what you’d pick up at your local department store, but it only costs $28! It’d be perfect for a date night!
