Santal de Mysore by Serge Lutens was launched in 1991 and captures the essence of a warm and spicy woody fragrance. Christopher Sheldrake crafted this composition, which opens with a fresh spicy accord that transitions into a richly powdery heart, anchored by a balsamic base that exudes a deep amber warmth. The contrast between the crispness of its top notes and the enveloping richness of its base creates an intriguing narrative, making it a fragrance that evolves gracefully throughout the day.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers — the fresh spicy notes are striking but fade quickly. The powdery and balsamic base carries the scent throughout the day, so less is more for a lasting effect. Best worn during cooler hours when the warmth feels comforting.
