About
Peau Santal by Miller Harris is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance for women and men. Peau Santal was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Mathieu Nardin. Top notes are Saffron, Pink Pepper and Bergamot; middle notes are Olibanum, Papyrus and Violet Leaf; base notes are Sandalwood, Cashmirwood, Amber, Vanilla and Moss. Peau Santal is a scent of creamy sandalwood. “The sensation of soft, warm skin evoked by the creamy richness of sandalwood. Exceptionally smooth and sensual, sandalwood is the most noble of woods – in Peau Santal, Miller Harris have enriched every aspect of the material to create the perfect skin-scent. The fresh and bright elements of the wood are lifted with airy pink pepper and the sweet spice of saffron. Olibanum and papyrus enhance the delicate resinous quality and rich warmth of this precious wood. Cashmere woods, crisp amber, and moss create a hint of dry sensuality, whilst a lick of vanilla co2 rounds out the scent, playing to the creamy and slightly carnal quality of sandalwood.”Top: Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Saffron Heart: Olibanum, Violet Leaf, Papyrus Base: Sandalwood, Cashmere woods, Crisp amber, Vanilla CO2 extract, MossAvailable as a 50 and 100 ml EDP.
