Phebo Santalum is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Yves Cassar. Santalum opens with Carrot Seeds, Green Notes, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Musk and Thanaka Wood, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Frankincense. Phebo's Santalum carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, Santalum is a woody perfume that manages to be both rugged and comforting. Expect strong opinions - you'll either adore its unique, natural woodiness or find it too challenging.

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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

With its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature, Santalum works well for casual and date settings, providing a comforting aura without being overpowering. While unique and natural, its strong woody character might be too distinctive for all formal occasions, and it's certainly not suited for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Santalum opens with an unexpected, earthy twist of carrot seeds and green notes, quickly deepening into a warm, creamy heart where musk and thanaka wood create a smooth, velvety texture. The journey culminates in a rich, enveloping base of authentic sandalwood, underscored by dry vetiver and a hint of spiritual frankincense, evoking a serene, grounded atmosphere.
