Not scandalous and not sandalwood. What I got straight up was a super-synth, sneeze-inducing fake sandalwood. Fortunately, it lasted a minute before it either disappeared or my musk-anosmia kicked in. Try before you buy…

I feel like some of the dislikes here are probably because of the way the scent was marketed – as a scandalous, erotic scent. To me, there’s nothing particularly scandalous about Scandalwood. It’s a soft, dry blend of rosewood, rose and mildly milky sandalwood, with a clean base of white musk. The white musk is blessedly free of the synthetic smelling “laundry musk” scent that often is present, but it does smell pleasantly clean. It smells like some blender or fixative was used to make it a little airy and not too creamy or heavy. It’s light enough to wear year round. Elegant but very restrained. I could understand this not fitting the definition of “sexy” for many people, but I suppose it’s subjective. Dita is a burlesque artist and into BDSM; maybe for her, restraint is sexy.
Average sillage, average longevity. Mild like.

it’s very sensual and smooth, as a previous comment states.
for me, it’s grade 2 art classes. i dunno why, and i dunno what, but i’m back in ms. ockulicz’s class, with my art smock on, painting or cutting or doing something crafty.
i’m not even able to analyse the individual components of the scent, i’m just mesmerised by how i’ve been taken back 30 years. i love how perfume can do that. i really do. and it’s why i continue to spend ridiculous amounts of money on this stuff, and even go outta my way to source it when i’m overseas on holidays. for real. i am considering buying this perfume because there’s a part of me that is going back to a life i don’t really remember living and i love that. whatever the fuck is happening in my hippocampus is because of this scent and i’m quite taken by it…

Very sensual and smooth.
The opening is definitely my favourite – when you get the spiciness of coriander with bois de rose and Atlas cedar. Ylang-ylang ties in warmly with the rose and really compliments the sandalwood and is consistently smooth and creamy.
It is a natural fragrance and you can definitely appreciate this during wear. Longevity is amazing, and stays close to the skin.

If you have Ditas Erotique fragrance, then you have already smelled Scandalwood. They are the same. I have them both. They have equal longevity (They both last but are not strong). If you can find Erotique for a good price on eBay, you would be better off buying it than spending the $165.00 plus shipping and tax that Heretic charges for Scandalwood.

Addendum: on my skin, it lasts. I still get a hint of it the morning after(9pm to 9am) on my skin. Even longer if on my clothes.

I love this fragrance. It reminds me of creed viking due to its shared sandalwood and Bulgarian rose notes. No salt accord nor mint. Still testing it out for longevity and complements. I feel it is more of a night out fragrance but will see.
Sexy and unisex.
