Santal du Pacifique
Santal du Pacifique opens with a slightly sweet, root-vegetable carrot top — odd on paper, in practice a pale orange-rooted lift that sets up the floral heart.

By the editors · 2 min readSantal du Pacifique opens with a slightly sweet, root-vegetable carrot top — odd on paper, in practice a pale orange-rooted lift that sets up the floral heart. Violet and orchid arrive within minutes, powdery and quiet, with a balsamic gurjan adding a faintly resinous undertone.
The sandalwood itself is the destination, and the path is short. By the dry-down the flowers and balsam have collapsed into a creamy, milky wood — closer to the smooth Australian profile than the sharp old-Mysore reading. White musk extends the trail close to the skin. Versatile, restrained; works in most weather but earns its keep in cool autumn evenings.
