The story behind the bottle.
Floris launched Santal Intense in 2024 as a bold statement in the world of aromatic fougère fragrances. The composition opens with an invigorating blend of cardamom and black pepper, infused with lemon and bergamot for a fresh spicy kick. This vibrant opening gives way to a heart of green grass, clove, lavender, and nutmeg, creating a harmonious middle ground that adds depth without overpowering the senses. The base notes of sandalwood, cedarwood, frankincense, vetiver, vanilla, amber, and musk provide a warm, enveloping finish that lingers long after application.
Santal Intense is not just a fragrance; it's an expression of the enduring elegance and craftsmanship for which Floris has been renowned since 1730. The brand's legacy is woven into every note, from the crisp aromatic opening to the rich woody base.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience. The fresh spicy top notes will fade within an hour, but the warm woody base will last throughout the day, making it ideal for daytime wear.
