The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, Santal Sohar by Amouage is a woody oriental fragrance crafted by perfumer Karine Vinchon Spehner. The composition opens with the delicate sweetness of rose and the warmth of clove before settling into the rich depth of sandalwood. This fragrance embodies the heritage and craftsmanship that Amouage has become known for, blending traditional Middle Eastern ingredients with modern perfume techniques. Santal Sohar captures the essence of Oman's ancient harbor of Sohar, where spices and sandalwood once flowed, creating a golden aura of celestial lights.
With its long-lasting nature, a single spray is sufficient to carry you through the day. The base notes of sandalwood develop gradually, so give it time to bloom on your skin rather than layering multiple applications.
