The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2002, Eau de Santal by Floris is a Woody Spicy fragrance that marries the fresh vibrancy of cardamom and bergamot with the warm embrace of sandalwood and vanilla. The composition opens with a bright burst of citrus and aromatic notes before settling into a heart of lavender and nutmeg. This transition creates a dynamic contrast, balancing freshness with warmth without tipping into heaviness.
Apply Eau de Santal to pulse points and let it settle for five minutes. The top notes are fleeting but impactful, while the base notes develop gradually over time, ensuring that the warmth lingers throughout the day.
