Suma Oriental refers to the brilliant collection of writings by Tomé Pires, a Portuguese apothecary who became ambassador to China in the 16th century. A very detailed description of an insular southeast Asia, Suma Oriental revealed for the first time that sandalwood originated in the Sumba (modern-day Indonesia). The result is a captivating scent with creamy, woody accords.
