Matiere Premiere Santal Austral Eau de Parfum - 100ml

Embrace the Creamy Comfort of Santal Austral Launched in 2019 as part of the house's debut collection, Matiere Premiere Santal Austral Eau de Parfum is a masterfully crafted, unisex fragrance that transforms raw wood into a sensual, velvety "white wood" masterpiece. Radiating a soothing, sophisticated, and quietly confident vibe, it wraps the wearer in an elegant, comforting aura. This creamy composition shines beautifully during the crisp days of autumn and winter, yet its smooth nature makes it an exquisite choice for both daytime professional wear and cozy, intimate nights. The Scent Profile of Santal Austral Top Notes: Iris Heart Notes: Sandalwood Base Notes: Benzoin, Tonka Bean What Does Santal Austral Smell Like? Santal Austral opens with an incredibly smooth, powdery embrace where velvety Tuscan iris melts into a delicate, lactonic accord of almond milk. Unlike harsher, pickle-tinged or pencil-shaving sandalwood fragrances on the market, this opening immediately introduces a soft, cloud-like texture that feels immensely comforting on the skin. As the initial mist settles, the star ingredient emerges: a rich, luminous organic Australian sandalwood that anchors the composition with its distinctively creamy, pale woody facets. As the fragrance matures through the day, it evolves into an addictive, resinous dry-down. The composition deepens with the amber-like warmth of Laotian benzoin and the subtle, balsamic sweetness of Venezuelan tonka bean. The final trail acts like a luxurious cashmere sweater-creamy, slightly sweet, and utterly hypnotic, remaining close to the skin as a sophisticated "second-skin" signature. Story Behind Santal Austral Longevity: 8-10 hours (Long-lasting) Sillage: Moderate (Enveloping) Projection: Moderate The Brand: Matiere Premiere Conceived by renowned master perfumer Aurélien Guichard, Santal Austral was designed to protect and amplify the velvety, milky facets of sustainably sourced Australian Sandalwood.
