Peau Santal

Peau Santal

A soft, skin‑like sandalwood that feels dry, milky and quietly sensual, dusted with pink pepper and cooled by a papery frankincense haze. Green violet leaf and a whisper of vanilla lend a gentle warmth and transparency, creating an intimate woody aura that sits close to the skin.

Scent Development and Character

Peau Santal presents New Caledonian sandalwood as a soft second skin, wrapping the wearer in a dry, milky woodiness brightened by a dusting of pink pepper and a faint citrus lift. A cool, papery frankincense nuance unfurls through the heart, brushed with the green translucence of violet leaf and a whisper of smoke. Closer to the skin, a subtle thread of vanilla smooths the edges of the woods, lending a gentle warmth without tipping the fragrance into overt sweetness.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

This is an understated, close‑wearing sandalwood that works easily in daily life, from office hours to quiet evenings, without overwhelming shared spaces. Its intimate profile suits cooler weather and transitional seasons, but the airy, green facets keep it comfortable in mild warmth as well. The gentle projection makes it a good choice for those who prefer a subtle yet characterful woody signature. Best suited to autumn and winter, with enough airiness and green facets to wear comfortably in spring and mild weather. Sillage is Soft, close‑to‑the‑skin sillage that creates a gentle aura within arm’s length rather than a wide trail. Longevity is Moderate longevity, with the fragrance typically noticeable for around 4–6 hours before sinking into a soft skin scent.
