Matière Première Santal Austral Extrait is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Aurélien Guichard. Santal Austral Extrait opens with Iris and Almond, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Cardamom, Tonka Bean, and Benzoin. Matière Première's Santal Austral Extrait carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This extrait is a divisive beast: some hail it as a creamy, luxurious sandalwood triumph, a proper improvement on the original. Others find it an abominable synthetic mess, headache-inducing and aggressively masculine. Don't blind buy; sample first, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Its strong projection and impressive longevity, mentioned frequently in reviews, make it less suited for a close-quarters office environment.

About

Santal Austral Extrait opens with a delicate, powdery whisper of iris, quickly enriched by a smooth, almost sweet almond note. The heart deepens into a rich, creamy Australian sandalwood, warm and inviting. A spicy kick of cardamom emerges, bolstered by the sweet, balsamic warmth of tonka bean and benzoin in the long, lingering dry down, creating an enveloping, woody amber experience.
