Peau Santal

Peau Santal by Miller Harris is a woody fragrance with a strong green side, plus touches of spice, amber, resin and citrus. Mathieu Nardin composed it, it was released in 2018, and it is worn by anyone.

Bergamot and pink pepper open it with a light, sparkling brightness, and saffron adds a golden, slightly leathery spice. Violet leaf brings a cool, green freshness, and papyrus a dry, slightly smoky, reed-like note. The heart and base are built on wood: sandalwood gives a creamy, milky smoothness, cashmere wood a soft, cosy texture, and frankincense and oakmoss a resinous, earthy, green depth, with vanilla and amber adding warmth.

Calm and refined, it suits autumn and spring, for daytime, the office and quiet evenings. It will appeal to anyone who likes sandalwood scents with a green, mossy and incense-tinged character, rather than plain creamy woods. It suits those who appreciate a skin-like, understated elegance, as the name, meaning sandalwood skin, suggests.
