Maison Crivelli Santal Volcanique is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Richard Ibanez. Santal Volcanique opens with Lime and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Ylang-Ylang, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ginger. Maison Crivelli's Santal Volcanique carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't a smouldering volcano in a bottle. Expect a fresh, clean, surprisingly versatile sandalwood with a zesty kick, though its 'barbershop' vibe might not be for everyone. It's divisive, with some finding it a staple and others deeming it generic.

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

Santal Volcanique opens with a vibrant burst of lime and ginger, refreshing and invigorating. This bright start quickly settles into a creamy, smooth sandalwood heart, subtly spiced with cardamom and grounded by earthy cedar and musk. A hint of coffee emerges in the drydown, adding a warm, gentle depth that rounds out this clean, woody composition.
