Mysore 2010

Mysore – 2010 is a vintage Mysore sandalwood oil, distilled in 2010 from resin-laden, mature Mysore sandalwood logs and brought to life through careful traditional distillation in Kannauj, India the historic seat of Indian perfumery. This oil represents a rare convergence of provenance, patience, and purity.

True Mysore sandalwood is unmistakable, and Mysore 2010 announces itself immediately with that signature character: soft, creamy, and profoundly smooth, carrying a natural milky sweetness that feels both comforting and regal. There is no sharpness here only a polished, rounded opening that glides effortlessly onto the skin.

As the oil opens further, the heart reveals the hallmarks prized by connoisseurs: buttery woods, warm spice, and a subtle rose-like floralcy that floats quietly within the creaminess. A gentle honeyed nuance emerges, lending depth without sweetness, while a faint powdery dryness adds structure and age evidence of mature wood rich in oil.

The drydown is where Mysore 2010 truly settles into its authority. Dense, oily sandalwood unfolds slowly, radiating warmth with a lightly dusty, faintly animalic undertone that feels intimate and meditative. The finish is long-lasting, tranquil, and deeply grounding never loud, never fleeting.

This is classical Mysore sandalwood in its true form: smooth, creamy, buttery, warm, and dignified. Distilled at a time when access to quality Mysore wood was already diminishing, Mysore 2010 stands as a preserved moment in sandalwood history.

For Al Shareef, Mysore 2010 is not merely a fragrance it is a reference point. An oil for those who seek authenticity over novelty, depth over projection, and heritage over trend.
