Essence N°8: Santal (EDP)

"Essence N°8: Santal is a woody eau de parfum centered on the creamy, polished character of sandalwood. Cardamom gives the opening a restrained spicy lift, while osmanthus adds a soft fruity-floral nuance at the heart. Vetiver and Virginia cedar provide a dry, structured foundation that prevents the composition from becoming overly sweet. The fragrance balances smooth woods with aromatic and lightly leathery impressions. Its overall character is refined, understated, and sophisticated rather than overtly dramatic. Created by Francis Kurkdjian, it presents sandalwood as an elegant central material within Elie Saab's exploratory Essence collection."
