Astrophil & Stella Mon Santal is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Margaux Le Paih Guérin. Mon Santal opens with Rhubarb, Basmati 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 an Acquired verdict, a woody-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.

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.

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.
