When Englishman Edward Foxhall discovered sandalwood on the Isle of Pines, New-Caledonia, in 1840, it was, then, unknown in Europe. By the end of the 19th Century, the noble spiced wood had quite a pedigree: named ‘candana’ in Sanskrit, or ‘sandal’ in Arabic, it was used as a precious ointment for the hair and body. A remedy against anxiety, it still billows today, seamlessly embedded in the smoke of Asian incense.
Top notes: Cardamom.
Heart notes: Sandalwood essential oil.
Base notes: Guaiac wood

Trudon Tadine candle
I’ve purchased 7 Trudon candles over the last couple of months -
Mary, Balmain, Fir, Gloria, Madurai, Tadine, Cire.
Couldn’t be happier, love them all. My favourite is the Mary (Shelley).
Other brands that I’ve sampled in shops don’t have the stunning depth or capture the lovely spiced wood scents that Trudon does.
Love the matt black glass for the Mary, the blue for the Madurai, the red for the Cire!
