Santal Blanc, launched by Van Cleef & Arpels in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Michel Almairac, is a woody musk fragrance that marries the crispness of fig nectar with the warmth of sandalwood. The composition opens with a bright mandarin orange note, which contrasts beautifully against the soft florality of violet and the powdery warmth of tonka bean. As it evolves, Santal Blanc reveals layers of benzoin and musk that create an enveloping comfort, ideal for those seeking sophistication without pretense.
