Thematic Territory

A cashmere blanket beside a low fire. Sandalwood warmed by cinnamon and softened by lavender — contemplation without solemnity, warmth without heaviness.

Era & Context

Modern

Arrived before the sandalwood renaissance that Le Labo Santal 33 would ignite, taking a spicier and more traditional approach to the note. Where Santal 33 made sandalwood urban and minimalist, Original Santal kept it warm and enveloping — the fireside to Santal 33's sidewalk.
