The story behind the bottle.
Santo Incienso by The Different Company was launched in 2017 and crafted by perfumer Alexandra Monet. This woody fragrance for women and men opens with a bright burst of Calabrian bergamot, which quickly gives way to the warm spices of nutmeg and petitgrain. At its core lies palo santo, a sacred wood that imbues the scent with a sense of ritual and reverence. Atlas cedar, hedione, incense, vetiver, myrrh, guaiac wood, and musk create a smoky, balsamic base that is both grounding and deeply aromatic.
Apply Santo Incienso sparingly — the smoky base notes emerge after about an hour and provide a lasting warmth. It reads best in cooler settings where its woody depth can shine without overpowering.
