The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017, Santal Musc by Narciso Rodriguez is a composition that seamlessly blends woody and aromatic elements with warm spices and musky undertones. Perfumers Caroline Sabas and Sonia Constant crafted this unisex EDP to evoke the essence of sandalwood and cardamom, creating an interplay between crisp aromatics and rich warmth. The fragrance opens with cardamom, adding a spicy freshness that quickly gives way to the creamy floral notes of ylang-ylang, before settling into a base of musk and woody accords. This harmony of scents is designed to be both comforting and invigorating.
Apply two sprays for optimal wear — the cardamom top note is bright but fades within an hour. The musky base notes develop over time, making it perfect for a day that transitions into evening without overpowering.
