SANTAL AUSTRAL Extrait

Santal Austral Extrait by Matiere Premiere (50 and 100 ml): the creamy sandalwood of Santal Austral heightened by a smoky black cardamom. Iris and almond milk on top, Australian sandalwood at the heart, black cardamom, tonka bean and benzoin at the base.

A spicy, smoky sandalwood

This extract calls on a black cardamom absolute developed exclusively for the house: at once woody and smoky, it gives the sandalwood a singular intensity and draws it towards spicy, vibrant territories. Iris and almond milk soften the opening; tonka bean and benzoin warm the base with an amber sweetness.

The expert's advice

Apply in small touches to moisturised skin to extend the hold of the sandalwood. Store the bottle away from light and heat.
