Serge Lutens 2001 EDP
Santal Blanc
Serge Lutens Santal Blanc is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001, created by Christopher Sheldrake. Santal Blanc opens with Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Iris, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Fenugreek and Musk. Serge Lutens's Santal Blanc carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.
Santal Blanc is a quiet, understated gem, a crowd-pleaser for those who prefer their sandalwood creamy and subtle. Don't expect a beast, but do expect a warm, comforting embrace that wins over many with its gentle charm, even if some find it too fleeting.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
Leans cozy and cool-weather. The creamy milky sandalwood, gentle cinnamon, and coumarin-fenugreek warmth read like a cashmere jumper, with wearers favouring autumn and winter, though its lightness keeps it wearable across spring and even warm days.
Best Occasions
Its soft, near-skin projection and clean sandalwood character make it an easy everyday and office choice where loud scents are unwelcome. The warm, comforting drydown suits casual wear and quiet date nights; its subtlety can be lost in very formal settings or during sport.
