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 Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Built on woody, warm spicy and aromatic - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and clean woody character make it highly versatile for office or casual wear. While pleasant for a date, it might lack a certain 'oomph' for a formal event, and its warmth makes it unsuitable for active sports.

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

Palo Santal is a warm embrace of creamy woods, centered around the smooth, almost spiritual scent of sandalwood and palo santo. A whisper of cardamom adds a dry, aromatic spice that brightens the composition, preventing it from leaning too far into conventional "woody" territory. As it settles, a soft, powdery benzoin emerges, wrapping everything in a subtly sweet, balsamic warmth that feels both cosy and sophisticated.
