The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Aaron Terence Hughes, Santal Extreme is a fragrance for women and men that embodies the essence of warmth and power through its rich woody base. The composition opens with a strong presence of sandalwood, both classic and Australian, which forms the core of this scent. Rose adds a subtle floral touch to balance the depth of the woods, while patchouli and vanilla bring an earthy sweetness that lingers on the skin for hours.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The fragrance's warm and woody notes will develop gradually over time, making it ideal for a long-lasting effect throughout the day.
