The General Appeal of Santal - Santal is a mystical tapestry of fragrances imbued with exotic streams of ancient elements including warm creamy sandalwood and smoky potent papyrus.

It is a balanced, complex fragrance that is equally loved by both men and women.

Despite the elements of antiquity found in Santal, it origins as a perfume only date back to 2011 when what was originally a mediocre candle scent produced by Le Labo of Estee Lauder became a breathtaking fragrance, and its popularity soared to cult status, where it remains to this day. It was originally known as Santal 33, a moniker derived from the number of ingredients it contained.

Extended Fragrance Description - Top notes flow with elements of spicy, resinous cardamom and fruity-nuanced raspberry. An aromatic heart soon follows, featuring the creamy, smooth and vibrant star of the show; sandalwood, and co-starring woody violet, soft, sexy suede and pungent leather. The scent completes with a dry down marked by lush, noble vanilla, balsamic cedar wood and sensual musk.

Some Historical Aspects - Cardamom has a storied past dating back to antiquity when the ancient Egyptians used it as one of the favored ingredients in their embalming process. The Greeks and Romans discovered it during their travels in India and the Crusaders brought it back to Europe. The glove makers of the 16th century used flowers and musk to perfume their products and masked the unpleasant odors of the tanning process with leather. It soon became a chic and highly valued ingredient, particularly the smoky, birch-nuanced Russian leather. Vanilla made its debut in perfume in the 19th century and was considered a rare facet in Victorian era scents. After the discovery of synthetic vanilla (vanillin) in the late 1800s, its use expanded far and wide as its availability become more accessible.

Some Psychological And Emotional Benefits - The inclusion of creamy, sandalwood and cedar wood offer a sense of grounding and long-lasting balance. Cardamom is known to be calming and uplifting to the human spirit.
