Santal opens with smoked cardamom, a touch of raspberry, and a pinch of thyme. The heart brings together soft iris, saffron, and nagarmotha, with an oriental air. The base is led by decadent sandalwood, accompanied by animalic castoreum and leather.
Santal by Kintsugi is an eau de parfum signed by Czech perfumer Martin Švach for this Prague house that composes its perfumes in Grasse. The brand presents it as an act of everyday rebellion, like choosing a corretto instead of an espresso on a Monday morning.
It calls for autumn, winter, and night. If you are looking for the house's smokiest side, Phénix goes for smoke, coffee, and tobacco. Two or three sprays are enough. The raspberry in the opening gives it a friendlier start than you might expect, and the leather and castoreum appear later, once the fragrance has settled on the skin, leaving a dry, warm, and quite personal trail.
