The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Fragrance Du Bois, Santal Complet is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance that marries the warmth of sandalwood with sweet and powdery notes. Created by François Merle-Baudoin, this composition opens with a bright burst of coconut and lemon, followed by the subtle floral touch of violet and black pepper's warm spice. The heart of Santal Complet is anchored by rich vanilla and musk, complemented by amber for an enveloping warmth.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough — the coconut and lemon notes fade quickly, but the base notes of vanilla and musk linger for hours. Best applied closer to skin rather than sprayed into the air, as it reads better in intimate settings.
