Our Full Review
Sandalwood & Cedar is Wild’s entry into the woody fragrance category, and it’s done exceptionally well. This is sophistication in sustainable packaging.
The Scent Experience
The sandalwood provides creamy warmth - that distinctive smoothness that makes sandalwood so universally appealing. Cedar adds dry, slightly sharp woodiness that prevents it from becoming too soft. Together, they create a “mysteriously decadent fusion” as Wild describes it.
Performance
- Longevity: Exceptional. Woody notes are base notes - they last longer than citrus or fresh scents.
- Projection: Noticeable without being overwhelming.
- Best seasons: Autumn and winter, though it works year-round for evening wear.
Gender Neutrality
This is one of Wild’s most successfully unisex options. Sandalwood and cedar have no inherent gender associations - they simply smell refined and natural.
Comparison to Other Woody Options
If you’re exploring woody deodorants:
- Wild Sandalwood & Cedar: Smooth, creamy, refined
- Generic woody options: Often harsher, more cologne-like
Wild’s version genuinely feels like quality fragrance, not just scented deodorant.
Final Thoughts
For those who find citrus too light and florals too sweet, Sandalwood & Cedar offers an elegant alternative. It’s Wild proving they can do sophisticated just as well as fresh.
