Astrophil & Stella Mon Santal is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Margaux Le Paih Guérin. Mon Santal opens with Rhubarb, Rice, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Cream, Palo Santo, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. Astrophil & Stella's Mon Santal carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Mon Santal is a polarising beast. For some, it's a decadent, unique gourmand dream; for others, a headache-inducing caramel bomb or a blatant dupe. You'll either adore its creamy, savoury sandalwood or wonder what all the fuss is about.

Scent 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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and intriguing gourmand-woody profile make it perfect for date nights where intimacy is key. While it's sophisticated enough for some formal settings, its unique character might be a bit too much for a strictly professional office environment. The savoury and sweet notes are too rich for sport.

Declarable allergens

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This one kicks off with an unusual, aromatic blend of savoury basmati rice and bright rhubarb, spiced up with pink pepper and nutmeg. As it settles, creamy palo santo and frankincense emerge, lending a soft, almost lactonic warmth. The dry-down is pure indulgence, a luxurious mix of smooth sandalwood, melted caramel, and sweet vanilla, all wrapped in a musky, comforting embrace. It's a complex dance of spice, wood, and edible delight.
