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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Santal Blush's creamy sandalwood, spices, and powdery florals thrive in cooler temperatures, making it ideal for fall and winter, while still wearable in the transitional spring. Its warmth and density can overwhelm in the heat of summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

The scent's soft projection and creamy sophistication suit formal settings and romantic evenings, while its richness works for casual wear with restraint. Too opulent and spicy for sport or high-heat situations.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Santal Blush envelops the skin in a luxurious swirl of smooth Australian sandalwood, delicately spiced with cinnamon and cumin, and softened by powdery florals of ylang-ylang and jasmine. Benzoin and musk lend a creamy, balsamic undertone, while the green nuance of carrot seed and a whisper of rose add textural intrigue. The result is a meditative, sophisticated scent-silky, subtly spicy, and deeply comforting, with a quiet sillage that lingers like a cashmere shawl.
