The story behind the bottle.
Santalum by Chloé, launched in 2022 and crafted by perfumer Marypierre Julien, is a Woody fragrance that embodies the brand's commitment to soft, wearable luxury. The composition opens with a warm spicy accord that adds depth and complexity, while a balsamic touch provides a subtle sweetness. As it settles into its powdery and lactonic base notes, Santalum becomes an enveloping warmth that feels both comforting and sophisticated.
Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points — the warmth of the spices and balsamic notes will bloom gradually over time. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, so wear it when you want to feel enveloped in its comforting embrace.
