SANTAL AUSTRAL by Matière Première, eau de parfum

The story of SANTAL AUSTRAL

The heart of Southern Sandalwood rests on the organic sandalwood essence from Australia, the central raw material of this creation. The fragrance explores the “velvety” side of this wood, seeking a soft and enveloping density.

To emphasize this creamy texture, the composition introduces a note of Tuscan iris absolute and an “almond milk” veil as a softened facet. In the background, benzoin absolute from Laos And tonka bean absolute from Venezuela bring warmth, depth and a slightly amber finish.

Santal Austral is intended to be an expressive but non-aggressive sandalwood: a “neutral” fragrance, worked in light and softness, faithful to the spirit of Matiere Premiere.
