Santal #9 is one of our latest creations (summer 2023) taking our creative skills to a much more delicate, complex and intricate level. It is Fresh, Crisp, Modern, Elegant & Classy. To begin with, we must be honest, this formula was inspired by LE LABO's Santal 33, but from an inspiration comes a whole new creation, for Santal #9 is in many ways everything that 33 could never be. To create the "Modern" feel while fully remaining within the framework of the natural kingdom is truly a challenge, one that we believe we have materialized into a masterpiece with Santal #9. A Few words to describe its personality would be Sandalwood-Amber-Cardamon & a Zing of Bergamot Leaves. The centerpiece of this work begins with one of the finest wildcrafted sandalwood [Sri Lanka] distilled by a master artisan, followed side by side with the American cedarwood [Texas], the amber notes are delicately woven from the richest C02 extraction of Indian vanilla along with molecular distillation of Siamese benzoin resin, the modern appeal could not be achieved without the messenger of fine perfumery: Iris. Its mystical "ambery" fresh note is fully owed to spirit of cardamon, and the bright zesty side is nothing more than that zing of bergamot leaves. All in all, it is a perfect symphony of ingredient, and a formula that can appeal any situation at any times.
