Santal Austral Extrait, crafted by Aurélien Guichard and launched in 2024, is a Woody fragrance for both women and men. The composition opens with the warm, spicy notes of black cardamom, which contrasts beautifully with the creamy richness of almond milk. As it settles, Australian sandalwood takes center stage, supported by iris and tonka bean, creating a complex yet harmonious blend. Siam benzoin adds an extra layer of depth, making this fragrance feel both modern and lasting.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to pulse points for an even distribution. This fragrance blooms slowly over time, so it's best enjoyed when worn close to skin rather than sprayed liberally. The base notes develop fully after about an hour, making it ideal for wearing from mid-afternoon through the evening.
