Bois de Santal
Fragrance notes
Character
A man sits in a high-backed leather chair beside a window that looks out onto a rainy street. He wears a charcoal sweater with rolled sleeves, and the air around him carries a bright flash of lemon and orange that cuts through the damp morning. Just beneath that citrus sits a faint animalic warmth, a trace of civet that makes the clean opening feel lived-in rather than freshly showered.
The scent settles into a thick sandalwood heart that feels creamy rather than dry. Tonka bean and vanilla begin to wrap around the wood, adding a powdery sweetness that leans more amber than sugar. It reads as a polished, expensive space where the aromatic citrus still lingers at the edges while the musky base grows heavier against the skin.
The room stays quiet as the vanilla deepens, mixing with the sandalwood until the air feels like a piece of furniture that has been rubbed with oil and left to warm in a closed room, the orange peel still curling on a saucer nearby while the powdery haze continues to build
