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.

About

Santal Glow opens with a bright, almost sharp burst of freesia, lending a clean, somewhat soapy freshness. This quickly softens into a gentle violet heart, which some perceive as fruity or even juicy. The dry down is a sheer, creamy sandalwood, maintaining an overall transparent and airy feel rather than a heavy woodiness. It’s a modern, light interpretation of a woody floral.
