Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Santal Majuscule EDP
Santal Majuscule is a sophisticated, sensual sandalwood and rose combo, elevated by bitter cacao. It's a divisive one - some find it a touch serious and dusty, others find it an evocative masterpiece and signature-worthy. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it first.

Our Verdict - Sandalwood Major Extrait
Sandalwood Major is Aromara's take on Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule, a creamy rose-sandalwood - rose opening into sandalwood and amber, over vanilla and soft musk. Built at 35% Extrait.

Season and Occasion Fit

Santal Majuscule

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent. The dry woody sandalwood, bitter cacao, and dark rose read thickest on warm skin in autumn and winter, with wearers reporting it needs a little warmth to bloom.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its serious, introspective character and strong projection make it a special-occasion and evening pick rather than an all-day office staple. It suits dates and formal cool-weather wear, can work casually for those who like a statement, and is far too dense for sport.
