Fragonard Santal is an Eau de Toilette. Santal opens with Lemon, Cypress, and Italian Green Mandarin Orange, settles into a heart of Myrtle and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Fragonard's Santal carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a clean, versatile sandalwood that's been unfairly discontinued. It's universally adored for its natural creaminess, often seen as a superior, more affordable alternative to pricier niche options. If you can still grab a bottle, do it.

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

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its clean, understated character, make it ideal for office and casual wear without being intrusive. While elegant enough for formal settings, its relaxed nature might be less suited for very high-stakes dates or intense physical activity.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Imagine a breath of fresh, zesty air - bright lemon and green mandarin cut through by the crisp, resinous scent of cypress. This invigorating opening soon mellows into an aromatic heart of clean myrtle and herbaceous rosemary, adding a sophisticated greenness. The true star emerges in the dry-down: a remarkably smooth, creamy sandalwood, wrapped in a soft, clean musk that lingers elegantly on the skin.
