Miller Harris Peau Santal Eau de Parfum | Sandalwood Perfume (50ml)

Product Information

It's worth highlighting that "santal" is a translation of "sandalwood," a note that has long been associated with masculine fragrances in perfumery due to its smooth, woody aroma and earthy nature. However, it is also milky and slightly sweet, which widens its appeal. Peau Santal is sophistication bottled and will linger long after you’ve left the room. Distinctive, addictive and excitingly mysterious, don’t be surprised if this Eau de Parfum becomes your signature. COEUR DE JARDIN: Alcohol Denat., Parfum (Fragrance), Aqua (Water), Diisopropyl Adipate, Limonene, Geraniol, Linalool, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral, Citronellol, Eugenol. If Le Cedre is the quiet guy in the corner, Santal Royal is the extroverted dude taking centre stage; this is an example of how loud and boisterous woods can be, but also how they can transport us to exotic places. Santal Royal is spiced sandalwood that uses a good slug of woody amber notes to create an impressive presence. Fruity notes of peach and spicy cinnamon take us right into the middle of a bustling bazaar, leafing through rich fabrics, golden trinkets and irresistible delicacies. Believe me when I say this: every time I have worn this someone has chased me down demanding to know what it is. I think that tells you all you need to know about Santal Royal.

Woody fragrances are often seen as masculine, and much of mainstream masculine perfumery indeed uses wood notes; however, to say they are exclusively masculine isn’t 100% true. Take Feminite du Bois by Serge Lutens, which was one of the first fragrances to explore the theme of woods from a feminine point of view, for example. In this iconic Lutens scent, spicy, skin-like cedar is contrasted by plum, creating a striking juxtaposition between the stark, angular quality of woods and the soft, juiciness of fruit. The result is a singular and bold fragrance that showcases the feminine elegance of woods.For their latest launches, Peau Santal and Powdered Veil, Miller Harris has laid flora gently to one side for an imagining of dream skin, how perfumes diffuse and adore our surfaces. I have been wearing them for a while now, on their own and even more deliciously layered together, creating a mix of vanillic woodiness dusted with butterfly wing delicacy. They are private scents, a genuine comfort amid the cacophony of modern perfumery.

The scent of Le Labo Santal 33 has been a staple for over a decade. Its unmistakable scent captures the distinctive fragrance of Australian sandalwood. The blend of warm Cardamom with floral notes makes it an exciting aroma. The subtle warmth and exoticism of incense introduces a discrete hint of desire within the heart, simmering down to an earthy richness thanks to woodsy accords of papyrus and invigorating violet leaf.

This style of perfumery can be many things and is awash with contrasts. Woody fragrances can be both cool and warm, hard and soft, rough and smooth, rich and sparse, spicy and mineral, and also much, much more. They can evoke warm skin, hot days and finely milled powders, overlapping with the other fragrance families and blurring all gender lines. Woody fragrances are simply some of the most intriguing, evocative and beautiful. Here are five you need to know about. Santal 33 is available in France, the U.K., Japan, Australia, and Korea. It also has a presence in New York, London, and Tokyo. You can find it in stores, boutiques, and online. Lashings of vanilla form the foundations of its heady base, with the creamy richness of sandalwood enriching this Eau de Parfum with an alluring skin-scent that is heightened by the rich warmth of cashmere, bergamot and moss. Its dry sensuality will make you smell utterly irresistible.

First things first, can we talk about how beautifully evocative the name ‘ Powdered Veil‘ is? It makes one think of a shower of powder – a deluge of fine dust that lands on the skin in delicate, silky drops, coating the body in a gauzy mist of beauty. What it leads one to imagine is a fragrance of transparency and that’s exactly what this is – a clear take on the usually dense note of amber seen through a veil of flowers. Le Labo Santal 33 is available as an Eau de Parfum, a body lotion, a body wash, and a candle. You can find Le Labo Santal 33 in stores and online in various countries.

Sandalwoods are the in thing at the moment and the fresh, transparent sandalwood is even more in (see dunhill London Century), with many interpretations of sandalwood moving away from the warm, creamy facets of the material to something fresher, milkier, and more contemporary. Peau Santal most certainly sits on the more translucent end of the spectrum, feeling like a breeze of sandalwood presented with coolness and freshness. NOIR: Alcohol Denat., Aqua (Water), Parfum (Fragrance), Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene, Linalool, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Benzyl Cinnamate, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral. Santal 33 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a unique scent. It is suitable for men and women, making it a perfect choice for a formal event or everyday use. The smell is also famous amongst celebrities. Le Labo offers sample sizes of all its fragrances, making it easy to try out an aroma before buying a bottle. It smells like just-washed skin. PEAU SANTAL: Alcohol Denat., Parfum (Fragrance), Aqua (Water), Limonene, Linalool, Farnesol, Citral, Evemia Furfuracea Extract, Coumarin.

Amber notes usually get on my nerves after a while – they’re too same-y, but Powdered Veil somehow brings a beautifully luminous nuance to this style, one that isn’t overtly cosy or warming. It’s actually an amber that I like, which is no mean feat – an amber that is as delicate as its name and as soft as the baby pink colour of its bottle. I feel it may be a staple this autumn/winter.SANTAL 33 is a fragrance inspired by the American icon. Its main components are cedarwood, sandalwood, ambrox, iris, and Cardamom. They are paired together to create an amazingly fresh scent. Like Peau Santal, Powdered Veil starts out bright and breezy with a clash of pepper and fruit. This sits atop the slowly burning embers of amber, into which sweet purple petals are thrown for energy. It is a very soft amber – one that clings intimately to the skin, creating a sense of closeness. It’s also quite sweet, but not overly so, thanks to a richness of spice in the base that draws parallels to the phenomenal Nu by YSL. The Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de parfum is a woody, leathery fragrance. It is a perfect scent for those who like to be trendy. It is an oil-based fragrance and is cruelty-free. The base notes are amber, cedarwood, and sandalwood, with a touch of iris, leather, and papyrus. There’s also a good amount of musk, which gives the scent a rich, velvety texture. The smell also has a good amount of terphenyl acetate, providing a slightly warm, herbal character. ROSE SILENCE: Alcohol Denat., Aqua (Water), Parfum (Fragrance), Geraniol, Limonene, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral.
