Santal
Fragrance notes
Character
Santal by Maison Viegas opens with cardamom and violet. The cardamom provides a warm, aromatic spice that feels dry rather than pungent. Violet sits beside it with a soft, powdery floral tone that does not dominate the start. This combination creates a clean and slightly crisp introduction that moves quickly into the middle.
The heart features iris and amber. Iris reinforces the powdery character already suggested by the violet, lending a smooth, root-like texture to the scent. Amber adds a gentle warmth that bridges the spice of the opening with the heavier materials waiting in the base. The composition stays woody and aromatic throughout this stage, never becoming overly sweet or resinous.
Sandalwood, cedar, and leather form the foundation. Sandalwood gives a creamy, dense woodiness that anchors the entire fragrance. Cedar adds a drier, sharper edge to the wood accord, while leather introduces a firm, slightly rugged finish. The result is a woody, powdery, warm spicy, and leather-driven scent built around sandalwood, iris, and violet.
