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.

Its agreeable woody and powdery accords, combined with a 'safe' reputation from reviews, make it perfect for daily wear and office environments. While versatile, its sophisticated warmth also lends itself well to casual and date settings, though it might be a touch too understated for high-formality or too heavy 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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Santal Nuit opens with a sharp, peppery kick from juniper and pink pepper, quickly settling into a warm, creamy embrace of sandalwood and ambroxan. Hints of soft, clean iris and supple leather weave through, adding a sophisticated, slightly powdery depth. Frankincense and vetiver ground it with an earthy, resinous whisper, creating an elegant and utterly smooth woody amber scent.
