About Intenso di Sandalo
Intenso di Sandalo by Carthusia: A Bold Unisex Oriental Woody
Carthusia adds a new chapter to its collection with Intenso di Sandalo, an oriental woody fragrance launched in 2026. Created by perfumer Giuseppe Imprezzabile, it is designed for both men and women, balancing spicy warmth with creamy depth.
The composition opens with a surprisingly brisk trio of liquorice, Sichuan pepper, and pink pepper. It quickly settles into a heart of immortelle, amber, elemi, and iris, before resting on a rich base of sandalwood, vanilla, Haitian vetiver, frankincense, cedar, and musk.
Oriental woody fragrances often lean heavy, but Intenso di Sandalo keeps things lighter with a soft-spicy, powdery, and slightly balsamic character. The saffron-like warmth of Sichuan pepper and the herbal sweetness of immortelle create a modern contrast.
Sandalwood sits at the core, creamy and smooth, supported by vanilla and musk for a skin-hugging quality. Haitian vetiver and cedar add a dry, woody edge, while frankincense gives a subtle incense-like shimmer.
The fragrance is versatile. It feels appropriate for cooler evenings, but the powdery iris and fresh spices give it enough lift for daytime wear. It works well in both formal and casual settings.
Carthusia, known for its Capri-inspired creations, takes a more international approach here. The result is an accessible yet sophisticated composition that invites close wearing.
With an average rating of 3.64 from 11 reviews, it may not be a universal crowd-pleaser, but it offers a distinctive take on woody orientals that rewards exploration.
This perfume will appeal to anyone who loves warm sandalwood and spicy oriental blends, especially those seeking a unisex fragrance with a soft, powdery finish.
Intenso di Sandalo is a confident addition to Carthusia’s line. It does not shout, but its blend of licorice-spiced top notes and creamy woods leaves a lasting impression. Try it if you want a contemporary oriental that feels both intimate and refined.
Spices Green, herbal and fougère Musk, amber and animalic Flowers Woods and mosses
