Santal Royal by Guerlain, launched in 2016 and crafted by Thierry Wasser, is an Oriental Woody fragrance that combines luxurious materials to create a regal experience. It opens with the bright freshness of neroli and jasmine before diving into the heart of rich rose and peach. The base notes of oud, sandalwood, leather, amber, and musk bring a warm, spicy, and animalic depth that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to pulse points for an even distribution. The fragrance requires some time to develop fully, so it's best to allow a few minutes before heading out. This composition holds up well through the day without needing re-application.
