Santal Blanc, released by Van Cleef & Arpels in 2019 and composed by Michel Almairac, combines sweet, woody, musky, floral, leathery and citrus impressions almost equally. It is a soft, creamy sandalwood worn by anyone.
It opens with fig nectar, which gives a milky, green sweetness, and mandarin orange, which adds a bright, juicy citrus touch. The heart is sandalwood, creamy, smooth and slightly milky, softened by violet, which brings a powdery, delicate floral note. The base is warm and gentle: benzoin adds a resinous, vanilla-like sweetness, tonka bean an almond-like warmth and musk a clean, skin-like finish.
Most wearers report moderate longevity, some long lasting, and a moderate trail. It is voted for spring and autumn and mostly for daytime, so it suits work, everyday wear and transitional weather, for anyone who likes soft, creamy woody fragrances that feel calm and comforting.
