About the Fragrance
Blending the balsamic freshness of sandalwood with the aromatic warmth of cardamom, as well as the powdery, dreams-like facets of Dreamwood™, the fragrance evokes Santal Dan Sha – like paintings, with a dream-like quality. With a majestic red cap, a shade of cinnabar, the scent evokes the cinnabar red color. A color symbolic in China, this subtle shade illustrates the unique bond between Santal, a sacred wood, and Dan Sha, the emperor’s seal.
