Santorini

Spice leads in Santorini, with sweetness, wood, flowers, resin and aromatic herbs each noticed by a minority behind it. The Qatari house Al-Jazeera Perfumes released it in 2022, with Jean-Louis Sieuzac as perfumer, and it is worn by anyone.

Pink pepper, cardamom and saffron set the spicy tone from the outset, warm and a little dry. Lavender adds an aromatic, slightly herbal lift, and orris root brings a cool, powdery softness in the middle. The base is where the weight sits: oud and cypriol give a dark, earthy, smoky wood, myrrh adds resin, and tonka bean smooths it all with a touch of warm sweetness.

No wear reports on longevity or sillage have been collected. Materials of this kind usually favour cooler months and evenings, and the scent is likely to suit someone who wants a spiced, resinous oud rather than a fresh or fruity one. It is currently offered as a bottle without a stated volume.
