A sheer yet sumptuous sandalwood, Sandalo is frisked up with lime and black pepper, and deepened with cypress and patchouli. This eau de toilette has 90% natural ingredients and is part of the Granado Layering Collection, either to be used alone or combined with other fragrances. Free of dyes and animal ingredients.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried morning in a pale cotton shirt, with the windows open and conversation close enough not to require a statement scent. Lime and pepper bring a crisp edge to the creamy woods, giving Sândalo a composed, tactile presence rather than a dressed-up flourish.
How to wear
Try it in mild weather, when the citrus-pepper opening and soft woods can sit in balance. Begin with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms for a restrained application, adjusting to your skin. Worn beneath a citrus or floral fragrance, it can add a warmer, creamier woody foundation.
Who it’s for
For those who prefer sheer woods to dense, sweet sandalwood compositions. Its citrus lift, dry pepper and soft musky finish suit an understated aesthetic, while the layering concept appeals to wearers who like adjusting a fragrance’s texture rather than changing its entire character.

Granado’s story
Founded as a pharmacy in Rio de Janeiro in 1870, Granado brings its botanical heritage into contemporary fragrance. Plant-derived ingredients, archival design and adaptable formulas define a house whose perfumery connects Brazilian everyday life with its historical apothecary identity.
Sândalo’s concept
Sândalo launched with Vetiver, Cedro, Âmbar and Tonka in a collection that brought traditional base-note materials to the foreground. Linked to Granado’s historical Perfumaria Hélios line, the Vintage collection reinterprets that heritage rather than reproducing old formulas. Here, creamy sandalwood becomes both a complete fragrance and a woody foundation for layering.
Extra info
Sândalo placed sixth in Fragrantica Brazil’s reader-voted Best Unisex Perfume 2019 category. Its name is Portuguese for sandalwood, the central material in the composition. Granado labels the fragrance vegan and free of dyes.
