Santal Austral Extrait

Santal Austral Extrait Matiere Premiere: Creamy radiant sandalwood fragrance

When developing Santal Austral Extrait, the idea of an intensified, luminous sandalwood wrapped in creamy sensuality became the creative foundation of the fragrance. This extrait de parfum reinterprets the original Santal Austral with a deeper concentration and richer texture, amplifying the signature contrast between bright woods and velvety warmth. Matiere Premiere describes the fragrance as a radiant exploration of Australian Sandalwood, enhanced through a denser, more enveloping composition that highlights both its milky smoothness and its addictive ambery facets. The scent evokes the feeling of warm light on bare skin — refined, comforting, and powerfully magnetic without ever losing its elegant minimalism.

 

Olfactory Notes

Upon the first spray, a vivid burst of Iris and spicy Cardamom immediately creates a refined, softly powdery brightness that feels airy yet textured. As the fragrance develops, the creamy richness of Australian Sandalwood unfolds at the heart, revealing smooth milky nuances balanced by the subtle almond-like warmth of Benzoin. Gradually, the composition deepens into an intensely sensual dry down where Tonka Bean and smoky Cedarwood merge with the sandalwood accord, creating a long-lasting woody trail that feels simultaneously polished, creamy, and addictive.
