The Story

Launched in 2014 by Guerlain and crafted by Thierry Wasser, Les Absolus d'Orient Santal Royal is a luxurious Oriental Woody fragrance for both women and men. The composition opens with the bright freshness of jasmine and neroli before leading into a heart of rose and cinnamon, adding a warm spice that cuts through the sweetness. At its core, santal royal combines agarwood (oud) and sandalwood with leather and powdery notes, creating an enveloping warmth that is both earthy and sensual.

Application Tips

Two sprays to the pulse points will allow the fragrance to build naturally over time. The spicy and woody notes project well but settle into skin rather than filling a room, so it's best worn close to the body for maximum impact.

The rich blend of a well-worn leather-bound book, where the scent of aged wood and warm spices creates an intimate cocoon.
