Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Santal Blanc Eau de Parfum
Santal Blanc is a quiet luxury icon for some, a ghost of a fragrance for others. Those who get it, love its soft, clean sandalwood; for the rest, it’s a bafflingly fleeting whisper. Definitely one to try before you buy, unless you enjoy fragrant roulette.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Lumière Blanche Eau de Parfum
This is a quiet, ethereal beauty of a scent, a soft-spoken cardamom chai latte in fragrance form. It's universally adored for its creamy, comforting nature, but its fleeting presence is a constant heartbreak for many.
