Lancôme Santal Kardamon is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Amandine Clerc-Marie. Santal Kardamon opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Liquor, Neroli, Orange Blossom, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Birch. Lancôme's Santal Kardamon carries an Acquired verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, creamy sandalwood and cardamom bomb that has people begging for its return. Despite being a definite crowd-pleaser for many, a significant minority find its medicinal, almost 'band-aid'-like quality off-putting. Definitely one to try before you buy.

About

Santal Kardamon opens with a vibrant zing of bergamot and pink pepper, quickly ushering in a boozy, spicy heart of cardamom and liquor. As it settles, a rich, creamy sandalwood emerges, bolstered by soft vanilla and a hint of leathery birch, creating a warm, enveloping dry down. Subtle orange blossom keeps it from becoming too heavy, adding a touch of floral sweetness.
