Santal Insolent

Santal Insolent, released by Molinard in 2020, is a woody sandalwood fragrance with peppery spice and a smoky, leathery edge. Everyone who describes it calls it woody, most also find it spicy and amber, and a minority notice resin and leather.

Pepper and cardamom open it with a dry, aromatic spice, cardamom bringing a cool, green note. Elemi adds a fresh, lemony resin. The core is sandalwood, creamy and smooth, set against cedar, which gives a dry, pencil-like woodiness, and papyrus, which brings a slightly smoky, earthy, reedy note. Incense adds a light, resinous haze, leather a smooth, polished texture, and amber a warm, golden glow in the dry-down.

It is worn by anyone and suits people who like sandalwood with more bite than milkiness. The profile is versatile, working for office days in autumn and spring as well as evenings, and the smoky leather gives it a confident character. Those who enjoy spiced sandalwood compositions with a dry, modern feel are its natural audience.
