Perfumery is an act of creation, which begins with the arrangement of materials. To find the right accord is creation. There are an immensity of natural marriages in the world of perfumery, from rose and patchouli, amber and musk, and in this instance: Orange x Santal. The long and mesmerising horizontal length of creamy and sturdy sandalwood finds its complement in the ascending rise of bitter orange. Senior Perfumer Natalie Gracia-Cetto perfects each respective note in this duet: bitter orange is paired with basil to add variations of colour, texture, and sensation, whilst the sandalwood note is built with the umbrous impact of oakmoss and the cooling charge of cypress. The drydown of Orange x Santal reveals a mesmerising chypre silhouette: dark, sweetly smoky and off-dry. This is a return to classicism and the textbooks of perfumery: begin with exceptional ingredients, and well-trusted combinations. With technical skill and imagination, everything else will follow.
