The Story

Launched in 2016 by Cartier, Oud Santal is a fragrance that marries the rich warmth of oud with the earthy depth of sandalwood. Perfumer Mathilde Laurent has crafted a composition where the woody and balsamic elements form a solid foundation for the sweet and powdery accords to rest upon. The fruity notes add a subtle brightness, creating an intriguing contrast that keeps Oud Santal engaging throughout its evolution on skin.

Application Tips

This fragrance develops best with skin contact. A single spritz will allow the powdery warmth to unfold gradually over time. Oud Santal is better suited for cooler evenings when its rich depth can truly shine.
