The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by Dries Van Noten, Santal Greenery is a woody fragrance for women and men, crafted by perfumer Nisrine Bouazzaoui Grillié. The composition opens with the zesty freshness of bergamot and grapefruit, which cut through to create an immediate sense of clarity and brightness. As it evolves, fig and violet leaf introduce a lush greenery that is both fresh and slightly sweet. Sandalwood provides warmth and depth, while white musk rounds out the base, adding a powdery softness that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

For best results, apply two sprays to pulse points. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so the fragrance will evolve quickly into its warmer base notes. This one is better suited for cooler weather when you want a subtle warmth that stays close to your skin.
