Orange X Santal pairs bitter orange with sandalwood, as the name promises. Composed by Natalie Gracia-Cetto for Essential Parfums in 2018 and worn by anyone, it is woody for everyone, while a minority of wearers also find it green, aromatic and citrusy.

The notes are listed as one blend. Bitter orange gives a sharp, peel-like citrus rather than a sweet juice, and basil adds a fresh, herbal greenness. Cypress brings a dry, resinous evergreen note, and oakmoss a faintly damp, earthy bitterness. The core is sandalwood, including an Australian variety, creamy and smooth, which softens the citrus and gives the scent its warm, milky finish.

Most people report moderate longevity, and nearly a third find it weak, so it stays close and fades gently; sillage is moderate to intimate. It is voted for summer and spring and chiefly for daytime, which suits a quiet, natural-smelling woody citrus for warm days.
