Santal Rouge
Fragrance notes
Character
Santal Rouge opens with bitter orange that feels bright and slightly sharp. The citrus is not sweet, and it does not linger for long before the heart notes take over. Sandalwood arrives next, smooth and steady, with carnation adding a dry, slightly peppery floral edge. Red berries sit quietly in the background, offering a faint, tart softness that keeps the wood from feeling too dry.
The sandalwood carries through the composition and anchors the carnation and berries as they settle. Clove appears in the base with a warm, earthy heat that blends into Brazilian rosewood. The rosewood adds a dry, faintly resinous wood tone that supports the spice without overwhelming the softer heart. Together, the notes create a woody, powdery texture that feels consistent from the first minutes.
The scent stays present for a good portion of the day without extending far from the skin. The orange fades, but the sandalwood and clove hold their place and keep the profile steady. It works well in a sunlit room or during a daytime walk, where the citrus and spice feel natural in the light. The mood stays warm and composed, never loud or scattered.
A wooden table sits near a window, with a bowl of orange slices and a handful of whole cloves resting on its surface.
