Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 by Les Liquides Imaginaires and crafted by Sonia Constant, Sancti is a complex Oriental Fougère that oscillates between fresh aromatic notes and warm, smoky depths. The opening brings the crisp zing of grapefruit and bergamot, while cypress and rosemary lend an herbal freshness. As it settles, cardamom and coriander introduce a spicy warmth, which then melds into the rich, woody embrace of cedar and vetiver. Incense and myrrh add a sacred, almost ritualistic quality to this composition, making Sancti feel both contemporary and lasting.
Sancti blooms slowly on the skin; a light application in the morning will allow its layers to unfold throughout the day. The smoky base notes are particularly long-lasting, so avoid layering with other fragrances for maximum impact.
