Profumum Roma Santalum is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. Profumum Roma's Santalum carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Santalum is a polarising, unapologetically raw sandalwood that brings out strong reactions - from pure adoration for its meditative depth to utter disdain for its perceived 'body odour' notes. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

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

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 a dry, almost dusty blend of spices that soon settles into the star of the show: a rich, earthy sandalwood. This isn't your creamy, sweet sandalwood; it's woody and real, underpinned by the balsamic, slightly medicinal hum of myrrh. It's linear but complex, evolving subtly to reveal nuances of warmth and ancient resins.
