Hermessence Santal Massoïa
Massoia bark, rich in lactones with a coconut-milk softness, doubles the lactic side of sandalwood in this Jean-Claude Ellena composition, and milk pushes the wood further toward cream. Dried fruits and sugar add candied sweetness, while a touch of flowers stops the whole from reading as dessert.
