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.

About

Santalum Slivers bursts open with a vibrant, photorealistic medley of orange and grapefruit, evoking the zest and juicy flesh. This bright citrus quickly intertwines with a subtly sweet, creamy sandalwood, creating an immediate sense of comforting sophistication. As it develops, a clean, watery cucumber note emerges, adding a refreshing aquatic touch, while hints of dry hay and a gentle whisper of pepper lend an unexpected earthy complexity. The dry-down settles into a soft, musky cedar, retaining a fresh, natural warmth.
