Dries Van Noten Santal Greenery is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Nisrine Bouazzaoui Grillié. Santal Greenery opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf and Fig, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Clean Musk. Dries Van Noten's Santal Greenery carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive yet addictive, Santal Greenery is a crisp, modern take on fig and sandalwood. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a fresh, green edge, though some find it a bit too familiar.

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.

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.

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

Opens with a bright, uplifting burst of grapefruit and bergamot, quickly joined by the dewy, slightly aquatic freshness of violet leaf and a creamy, green fig. The drydown reveals a smooth, clean sandalwood, softened by a subtle musk, creating an airy, sophisticated aura that manages to be both refreshing and comforting.
