Green Sandalwood
Green Sandalwood opens with a crisp mix of green fig, bergamot, and grapefruit, then eases into soft sandalwood and clean white musk. The scent feels leafy, fresh, and lightly creamy, with an earthy fig tone that keeps it interesting. It makes the most sense for someone who wants a quiet but distinctive unisex freshie for spring and summer, especially if bright woods.

The available votes suggest moderate longevity with moderate to strong sillage. In practice, that means it will usually feel present and fresh through the earlier hours, then soften into a cleaner woody musk. This profile seems better suited to everyday wear than to someone chasing maximum projection or very long hold.
Notes Pyramid

Green Sandalwood smells crisp, leafy, and softly woody. The opening suggests bergamot and grapefruit over fig leaf and violet leaf, giving a cool green effect with a lightly watery feel. As it settles, the fig turns smoother and slightly creamy against sandalwood and white musk, with a gentle powdery-musky finish rather than a heavy base.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe green accord leads, and it likely shapes the whole experience. The woody side is smooth rather than dry, the fresh and ozonic touches keep it airy, and the fruity sweetness from fig stays controlled. Powdery and musky nuances seem to appear more in the later stages, helping the scent feel clean and polished instead of raw or overly earthy.

EDITORIAL“Green, Figgy Sandalwood With A Clean Summer Feel”
Green Sandalwood is a straightforward name, and the scent delivers on it. This is a green-leaning woody fragrance built around fig, sandalwood, citrus, and soft musk. On paper, that structure can sound familiar, but the effect here seems more specific than a generic fresh wood scent. The fig gives it personality.
The opening looks built to feel cool and immediate. Bergamot and grapefruit add a bright citrus splash, while violet leaf and fig leaf push the fragrance toward a leafy, shaded freshness instead of a sparkling cologne style. One user described it as "earthy fig at its best," which fits the impression well. The fig here does not seem syrupy or overripe. It reads greener, a little sour, slightly dry, and more natural in tone.
As it develops, sandalwood becomes more important. This is what keeps the fragrance from feeling too sharp or too thin. The wood note appears to smooth out the greener edges and bring a soft, creamy texture through the middle. White musk in the base likely helps the whole structure stay clean and easy to wear rather than dense. Another review calls it an "easy summer reach," and that sounds believable given the note list and the overall profile.
What makes Green Sandalwood appealing is that it seems to sit in a useful middle ground. It is fresh, but not just citrusy. It is woody, but not dry in a harsh or pencil-shaving way. It has sweetness, but the sweetness looks restrained and tied to fig rather than vanilla or amber. That makes it a good option for people who want a fragrance with a clear identity that still feels casual and wearable.
Performance looks measured rather than dramatic. The available voting suggests mostly moderate longevity, with sillage landing between moderate and strong. That points to a scent that can project cleanly in the first part of wear, then sit closer as the musks and woods settle in. It does not read like a beast performer from the evidence here, which may actually suit the style. A green fig sandalwood composition often works best when it feels relaxed and breathable.
The main audience for this one is easy to picture. If you like fig in its greener form, enjoy sandalwood that feels smooth rather than heavy, and want something for spring, summer, and daytime use, Green Sandalwood makes sense. If you want a darker, richer sandalwood or a sweet creamy fig gourmand, this may feel too airy and leafy. For the right wearer, though, that is exactly the point.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREThe clearest comparison is Dries Van Noten Santal Greenery, since Green Sandalwood is presented as being inspired by it. One user also compared its fig character to KKW Rare Fig, but in a greener and more satisfying direction. Beyond that, it is better to stay cautious than make broader dupe claims without stronger side-by-side evidence.
