Distinctive, addictive and excitingly mysterious, don’t be surprised if this Eau de Parfum becomes your signature. Lashings of vanilla form the foundations of its heady base, with the creamy richness of sandalwood enriching this Eau de Parfum with an alluring skin-scent that is heightened by the rich warmth of cashmere, bergamot and moss. Its dry sensuality will make you smell utterly irresistible. Le Cedre is a good example of the sensual softness of woods. Boasting a delightfully delicate and powdery note of cedar wood, which is spicy and human but also reminiscent of pencil shavings, with pepper and orchid for contrast, Le Cedre is an introverted skin scent that feels introspective and quiet. I genuinely think it is one of the most handsome fragrances out there, evoking the image of a handsome, foppish man with great hair and excellent taste in books.COEUR DE JARDIN: Alcohol Denat., Parfum (Fragrance), Aqua (Water), Diisopropyl Adipate, Limonene, Geraniol, Linalool, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral, Citronellol, Eugenol.

The scent is similar to Tam Dao, another woody, earthy aroma. The fragrance opens with a mix of fruit and pepper and eventually settles into a smooth amber. The scent also has a soapy freshness to it. Woody fragrances are often seen as masculine, and much of mainstream masculine perfumery indeed uses wood notes; however, to say they are exclusively masculine isn’t 100% true. Take Feminite du Bois by Serge Lutens, which was one of the first fragrances to explore the theme of woods from a feminine point of view, for example. In this iconic Lutens scent, spicy, skin-like cedar is contrasted by plum, creating a striking juxtaposition between the stark, angular quality of woods and the soft, juiciness of fruit. The result is a singular and bold fragrance that showcases the feminine elegance of woods.It's worth highlighting that "santal" is a translation of "sandalwood," a note that has long been associated with masculine fragrances in perfumery due to its smooth, woody aroma and earthy nature. However, it is also milky and slightly sweet, which widens its appeal. The most famous scent from Le Labo, Santal 33, is a woody, masculine fragrance. The notes are dominated by sandalwood, but there’s also a touch of iris and leather. This fragrance is designed as unisex, meaning that it can be modeled by men and women alike.

If you’re into perfume, you’ll know that sandalwood is very much having a moment right now, thanks mostly to Le Labo. Their cult Santal 33, approaches this usually rich, woody note from a new angle that is both fresh and expansive. Peau Santal explores a similar theme, but I think it does so in a more interesting manner – one that is more textural and tactile. Sandalwood here is clean and crisp, but also creamy and warm. It undulates, moving seamlessly from cool to warm, with freshness extended by the mineral greenery of violet leaf. It is quite something, and I’ll leave you with one crucial piece of info: Peau Santal is my most worn woody fragrance. Enough said. Sandalwoods are the in thing at the moment and the fresh, transparent sandalwood is even more in (see dunhill London Century), with many interpretations of sandalwood moving away from the warm, creamy facets of the material to something fresher, milkier, and more contemporary. Peau Santal most certainly sits on the more translucent end of the spectrum, feeling like a breeze of sandalwood presented with coolness and freshness. If Le Cedre is the quiet guy in the corner, Santal Royal is the extroverted dude taking centre stage; this is an example of how loud and boisterous woods can be, but also how they can transport us to exotic places. Santal Royal is spiced sandalwood that uses a good slug of woody amber notes to create an impressive presence. Fruity notes of peach and spicy cinnamon take us right into the middle of a bustling bazaar, leafing through rich fabrics, golden trinkets and irresistible delicacies. Believe me when I say this: every time I have worn this someone has chased me down demanding to know what it is. I think that tells you all you need to know about Santal Royal. Woody fragrances are simply some of the most intriguing, evocative and beautiful. Here are five you need to know about.SANTAL 33 was created by a perfumer named Christophe Laudamiel.
