The story behind the bottle.
Orange X Santal by Essential Parfums, launched in 2018 and crafted by Natalie Gracia-Cetto, marries the bright freshness of orange with the earthy warmth of sandalwood. The citrus top notes are vibrant and invigorating, creating a contrast that is both dynamic and intriguing. As it develops, the fragrance reveals a woody heart with hints of aromatic spices and moss, grounding the composition in a sophisticated balance.
Apply two sprays to the pulse points for a well-balanced experience. The citrus notes are most pronounced in the first hour, so allow time for the woody base to emerge. Best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh yet grounding scent.
