By the editors · 2 min readSantal begins with a green-citrus opening — mandarin, lemon, and cypress — that lands somewhere between Mediterranean herb garden and fresh-cut wood. Rosemary and myrtle anchor the middle register, lending an aromatic, slightly medicinal quality without becoming sharp. The base is exactly what the name promises: sandalwood, cedar, and musk building a dry, clean woodiness that lasts well into the drydown. There is nothing ornate about this composition — it unfolds plainly and wears with equanimity. A daytime and outdoor fragrance for those who want grounding without sweetness, suited to warm months and active settings.
