The story behind the bottle.
Santalum by Profumum Roma was launched in 2003 as a unisex fragrance that expertly balances warmth and spiciness with rich woody undertones. The composition opens with an aromatic blend of warm spices, which seamlessly transitions into the heart notes of powdery woods and balsamic accords. This creates a tension between the crispness of the top notes and the enveloping comfort of the base, resulting in a fragrance that is both grounding and invigorating.
Santalum's warmth and spiciness are best experienced close to skin. Apply it lightly on pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect throughout the day. Avoid heavy application in warmer weather as the base notes can become overpowering.
