Santal, the perfumer's treatment of sandalwood as a subject rather than a base note: warm, creamy, faintly resinous. Hand-poured by Sibonei in small batches, it fills a bedroom at the end of a long week without taking it over.

For the friend whose apartment always smells expensive, or the man who notices fragrance and never says so. He will not mention it, but you will notice when you visit. Only at MA VIE in New York.
