The story behind the bottle.
Santalove by Nishane was launched in 2013 and crafted by Jorge Lee. This fragrance opens with a bright burst of bergamot and ylang-ylang, creating an aromatic tension that gives way to the rich warmth of sandalwood and vanilla. The composition is further enriched by tonka bean, adding a powdery sweetness that rounds out the base notes. Santalove is a unisex scent that seamlessly transitions from day to night with its balanced blend of freshness and comforting warmth.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced effect. The aromatic top notes are fresh but fade within a couple of hours, so rely on the warm base notes that develop over time and last well into the evening.
