Bois de Santal

BOIS DE SANTAL: THE UNIQUE INTENSITY OF A WOODY, SPICY, AMBERY FRAGRANCE

Intense sandalwood

The composition opens with a trio of invigorating essences—Madagascar Black Pepper, Sage and Cypress—distilling a subtly spicy freshness. This quickly gives way to the incandescence of Sandalwood Absolute, a precious ancient ingredient and the beating heart of the fragrance. Its sensuality and olfactory radiance are enhanced upon contact with sacred Palo Santo. This powerful woody fragrance is elevated by Tonka Bean and Amber, leaving an intense, warm sillage on the skin.

“Here, sandalwood is reinvented in all its facets. Smooth and enveloping under the influence of Palo Santo, it takes on nuances of guaiac wood and is particularly refined thanks to an amber accord combined with a spicy bouquet of black pepper.”

Émilie Coppermann and Pierre Guéros (Symrise)

A bottle the colour of amber

Tinted a delicate amber brown, the cylindrical glass bottle features an insert of the same shade beneath its transparent cap. The name of the Parfum Matière is echoed on a trompe-l'œil brown band on the black box, which has the texture of grained leather, and a thin white border as a final flourish.
