Alexandria Fragrances Santal's Kiss is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Santal's Kiss settles into a heart of Papyrus, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Alexandria Fragrances's Santal's Kiss carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some swear it's a dead ringer for Santal 33, even outperforming it, while others are utterly underwhelmed. Expect a woody-spicy scent that's either a fantastic value proposition or a confusing letdown.

Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Santal's Kiss opens with a fresh, slightly green woody blast, quickly settling into a creamy, powdery sandalwood heart. Cardamom lends a warm, spicy kick, while violet and iris add a sophisticated floral powderiness. A subtle, soft leather note grounds the composition, creating an inviting, woody-aromatic character that's comforting and smooth.
