The story behind the bottle.
Bois de Santal by Creed is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of warm, comforting elegance. Launched during the 2000s, it blends traditional and modern notes to create a complex yet harmonious composition. The scent opens with bright citrus — lemon and orange — over green notes, before settling into a rich base of sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla, and civet. This blend creates an atmosphere that is both powdery and musky, with a hint of the animalic, making it a sophisticated choice for those who appreciate depth.
Apply this fragrance with two sprays — it has a rich base that takes time to bloom. The civet note adds depth but can be subtle at first, so waiting an hour before reapplying will allow its full character to develop.
