Santoud Firbest

About Santoud Firbest

Santoud is a woody accord joining the character of oud and sandalwood, also used under the name Santoud Firbest. It brings together the depth associated with oud and the smoother warmth of sandalwood as a unified fragrance impression. The combination offers a way to explore two different woody expressions within a single accord.

Scent Profile

A deeper oud-like character meets a softer sandalwood-like woodiness. Roundness accompanies the more substantial woody impression, creating a balance between richness and a smoother texture. Warmth is central to the resulting character, with the two woody associations contributing different shades to its depth.

Use in Perfumery

Santoud Firbest is used in the base of amber woody fragrances, helping shape their warmer finish. Placed with tonka bean and sandalwood beneath lavender, plum or cappuccino impressions, it gives herbs, fruit and sweet roasted associations a quieter woody setting. Such a combination allows the clearer or sweeter notes above it to sit against a substantial, rounded background.
