When Santal 33 launched in 2011, it did something most sandalwood fragrances hadn't managed: it made woody scent feel current. Perfumer Frank Voelkl built it around a smoky, slightly sweet sandalwood accord, softened with leather and a dry, almost creamy warmth. The result sat comfortably on anyone, regardless of gender, which was a big part of its appeal.
The timing helped. The early 2010s saw growing interest in unisex fragrances that skipped the usual masculine or feminine cues, and Santal 33 became the reference point for that shift. It turned up on tastemakers, actors and musicians, and its scent became so recognisable that people started noticing it in hotel lobbies and boutiques.
What set it apart was restraint. Rather than a loud, sugary woody scent, it leaned into a smoother, drier profile that reads as understated rather than showy. That balance is a big reason sandalwood-forward perfumes have stayed popular, and why so many people go looking for a well-made sandalwood alternative once they've experienced the original. Its influence on gender-neutral niche fragrance is hard to overstate.
A fairer-priced sandalwood alternative
When you buy a designer bottle, a big slice of the price covers advertising, celebrity faces and department store markups. We skip all of that. Our impression starts from $29, so you're paying for what's actually in the bottle: quality aromatic compounds sourced from the same region as the major luxury houses.
Like the wider range of sandalwood perfumes we make, Joshua Tree leans into texture rather than sweetness. If woody scents are your thing, it sits comfortably alongside our other woody fragrances and unisex options like Velvet Underground.
How long a 50ml bottle lasts
Used daily, a 50ml bottle typically lasts around two to three months. On the skin, expect up to 12 hours of wear, though this varies with skin type, weather and how much you apply. Higher-concentration formulas like ours hold their scent notes longer than a standard eau de toilette, which is one of the factors that makes this a genuine sandalwood alternative rather than a fleeting spritz.

Yes. Our perfumes are made with a concentration of 20-30% aromatic compounds. This technically classifies all our perfumes as Extrait de Parfum, which makes them extremely long lasting. But we usually use the term Eau de Parfum because most people have never heard of Extrait (despite the fact that our perfumes are technically stronger than EDP).

“I bought this for my husband and he really loves it. I’ve been repurchasing it every three months.”
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback!💖
I’ll be honest, when I first tried this perfume I wasn’t sure about it and it took me a while to get use to the scent. But the more I wore it, the more I fell in love with it. Now it’s become one of my favourites, and I always get compliments on how good I smell when I wear it.
Store owner replied:
Love it! 😍 Thanks so much for sharing 💕
Purchased Joshua Tree a few months back and couldn’t tell the difference between the original and Àerre. An automatic repurchase and while I was at it had to purchase Ghostwood as I wore the original on my wedding day 🖤 obsessed. So many compliments almost daily. With both of the original fragrances being at nearly $400 for a 50ml bottle purchasing these are a no brainer. So happy I found Àerre and have recommended it to so many friends.
Store owner replied:
Ahh we love this! 😍 So glad Joshua Tree and Ghostwood are hitting the mark.
Thanks so much for the support and for recommending us to your friends! ✨
Amazing smelling scents (according to the fiancee).
Store owner replied:
Lovely to hear you’re enjoying the fragrance! Thanks for giving it a try and letting us know. 🧡
I love the scent it lasts long until the end of the day, my colleagues kept on asking what perfume I am wearing and I think one of them bought a bottle as well.
Store owner replied:
What a lovely compliment! 🧡 Thanks so much for the recommendation!
Love it! I have Santal 33 and it does smell very similar, I'm going to say JOSHUA TREE has more of a flower scent that comes through slightly more powerful than that leather spice smell of Santal 33, but JOSHUA TREE lasts longer and at this price point...it's a win! Honestly it's divine.
Store owner replied:
Thanks for the kind words! We’re glad you gave it a try and are enjoying your fragrance.
I was amazed when I received my bottle of Joshua Tree by Àerre. The premium, minimal presentation of the packaging and bottle instantly gives it a high-end designer feel. The perfume is incredible—it delivers a remarkably accurate and beautiful rendition of that unmistakable creamy sandalwood, warm leather, and rich violet blend. It has amazing projection and longevity that easily lasts through a full day. Finding a fragrance with this level of French-made quality and sophistication without the luxury retail price tag has me already looking for my next purchase.
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your kind words! We’re glad Joshua Tree has become one you’ve been enjoying wearing, and we hope you find another favourite to add to your collection 😊
Smells like the real deal at a fraction of the price ! I’m loving my Joshua Tree 🩷
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your lovely review. It’s great to hear Joshua Tree has become a favourite for you. 🧡
Almost similar scent to the original. Unless, you actually owned Santal 33, only the last note is the difference after spraying. Regardless, still a good dupe.
Store owner replied:
Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed it🧡
This was my first time ordering after being convinced by the reviews I saw on TikTok and on your page. I was really excited and looking forward to receiving my first order, especially because I planned to order more as gifts for my family and friends.
However, I was disappointed when I received the package because the box was broken and one item was affected. I didn’t complain and still decided to try the product. I opened one bottle because I was excited to test it, but unfortunately, the scent did not last long and I had to spray it repeatedly.
Overall, my experience did not meet my expectations, and I felt disappointed with my first order. I just wanted to share my honest feedback.
Store owner replied:
So glad you had a great experience! 😊 Thanks so much for sharing 💕
Had a try at the pop-up store and each perfume smells really nice! I picked Joshua Tree because its woody scent is warm and not too harsh - just the way I love! Would definitely recommend this if you're looking for something woody and warm.
This fragrance is SO unbelievably sexy. You can smell the leather and the soft warm sandalwood. It leans a little masculine, so sometimes I blend it with some vanilla. But it truly is a masterpiece. I actually prefer it more than the OG santal 33. It is a smoother, more refined version. Lasts all day and night. It smells intense on the first spray but after 10 mins on the skin, it transforms into this wonderful warm drydown with a hint of rebellious leather, just amazing !
I’ve been curious about this scent for a long time, but waited to try it in person. Found the kiosk at Carindale Westfield and chose Joshua Tree, inspired by Le Labo’s Santal 33. It’s stunning long-lasting and perfectly suited to me. I’ll be back for more. Hoping they release smaller sizes, maybe 30ml or 10ml, for easier testing.
Store owner replied:
That’s awesome to hear! 💖 So glad Joshua Tree hit the mark for you and lasts beautifully — thanks for the feedback about smaller sizes, we’ll keep that in mind! Can’t wait to welcome you back for more scents✨
I enjoy this fragrance. It fresh with a woody, warm spice and a hints of tobacco (the good kind).
Store owner replied:
Sounds like you’ve found a new favourite — we’re so glad you’re enjoying those warm, spicy notes! ✨
Strikingly similar to a fragrance that I once owned but has become too expensive for me to afford. Special thanks to aerre for your ingenuity in creating Joshua Tree at a great price point!!😘
Store owner replied:
Love that!😍 So glad you’re enjoying it✨
I bought Joshua Tree first - fantastic!
I then was curious if Moroccan Sunrise would be a successful dupe and again - fantastic!
Affordable alternatives to Le Labo and Byredo and I’m super thrilled. I’ll be back for more once I make my way through these.
