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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

The creamy sandalwood and amber warm the scent, making it ideal for fall and winter, while the green, powdery, and spicy facets provide enough lift for spring. It may feel overly enveloping for hot summer days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its close-to-skin, refined woody-spicy character fits the office and intimate occasions, especially dates. It is less suited to sporty or very formal black-tie contexts but works well for everyday wear.

Other declarable allergens

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

Peau Santal Eau de Parfum envelops the skin in a cocoon of smooth, creamy sandalwood, accented by a delicate interplay of pink pepper, saffron, and resinous frankincense. A subtle powdery veil from cashmere wood and violet leaf softens the composition, while moss and vanilla add a gentle touch of earth and sweetness. This is an understated, skin-close scent with a modern, unisex elegance, balancing woody warmth and creamy comfort for a quietly magnetic presence.
