Santal Austral from Matiere Premiere, released in 2019 and composed by Aurélien Guichard, is a creamy sandalwood scent. People describe it as sweet, woody, floral and resinous in equal measure.

It opens with iris, which gives a cool, powdery and slightly earthy floral elegance, like soft suede. The heart is sandalwood, the star of the composition: creamy, smooth and milky, with a gentle, comforting woodiness. The base is warm and sweet, as tonka bean adds an almond-like, hay-tinged softness and benzoin a balsamic, vanilla-like resin that makes the sandalwood feel rich and enveloping.

People report long-lasting to moderate wear and a moderate trail, sometimes strong. Votes favour autumn and winter and split almost evenly between day and night, so it suits the office, dinners and cosy days at home. It is worn by anyone who likes smooth, creamy woods with a soft powdery touch and a quietly sweet, resinous drydown.
