Santal
Floris London Santal is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2003. Santal opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Lavender, Clove, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Floris London's Santal carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.
A quietly confident sandalwood fragrance that fuses classic British elegance with a spicy, leathery twist. Santal Eau de Parfum is an understated, highly refined woody scent for those who appreciate tradition with a modern edge.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
Santal Eau de Parfum's dominant sandalwood, spices, and leather make it most fitting for fall and winter, where its warmth and richness shine. The touch of citrus and herbal notes offers some versatility in spring, but it is too dense for hot summer days.
Best Occasions
Its polished woody-spicy character is refined and masculine, working well for office, casual, and date scenarios, especially in cooler weather. Projection and warmth make it less suitable for sport or informal high-activity settings.
