THE RUSH:
Santal Austral – Creamy Woody Sandalwood
Santal Austral by Matière Première is a lush, velvety creamy woody sandalwood extrait that celebrates the finest sandalwood in the world with extraordinary depth and elegance. Crafted by perfumer Aurélien Guichard, this is sandalwood elevated to its most refined, most addictive form — warm, creamy, and impossibly smooth. “Austral” evokes the southern hemisphere, the origin of the finest sandalwood, and the warmth of sun-drenched wood.
The opening is immediately enveloping with the rich, milky warmth of Sandalwood — smooth, creamy, and deeply comforting. Iris Absolute from Tuscany introduces an almond-milk facet that amplifies the velvety, powdery character of the sandalwood beautifully — soft, elegant, and utterly distinctive. The heart deepens with Benzoin Absolute from Laos , adding a warm, vanilla-like sweetness that strengthens the comfortable, addictive quality of the composition. Tonka Bean Absolute from Venezuela rounds everything out with its honeyed, coumarin-rich warmth — smooth, slightly sweet, and deeply sensual. The result is a sandalwood fragrance of extraordinary creaminess and longevity that feels like cashmere on skin.
