Samandar
£14.00 – £140.00
Scent Profile: Fresh, cooling, marine, salty, calm
Loosely based on the ancient Indian recipe for Ghandarnava, “perfume ocean” in Sanskrit.
Samandar contains seven of the sixteen ingredients listed in the original formula- sandalwood, khus, oud, nakh, benzoin, turmeric and camphor.
The scent’s fresh uplift and clarity can be traced to mimosa, henna, shiso and mint while nakh and Sumbuwa oud, pink lotus and seaweed absolute create its salty oceanic core.
Generous amounts of ambergris and Mysore sandalwood smooth everything out, leaving a crisp clean drydown.
Clean, refreshing, uplifting and unique- a taste of the ocean all year round!

There are so many ingredients in Samander- I had no idea what to expect. It’s a very unusual scent- I’ve never smelled another attar like it Your description of it is spot on and although it’s hard for me to pick out all of the ingredients, every once in a while one of them comes to the foreground and it’s easy to recognize. It’s amazing that such different materials blend together so well. Some of the ingredients seem to be opposites yet the compliment and magnify each other in a very pleasing way. It actually is a nice companion to the ambergris- they smell good placed near to each other.
