Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Santal Blush begins with a spicy and intriguing start, where caraway, carrot seeds, cinnamon and fenugreek create an energetic and slightly piquant chord that immediately attracts attention.

In the heart of the composition, delicate floral notes unfold: jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang give a soft and romantic atmosphere, balancing with the initial spiciness.

The base notes, including benzoin, sandalwood and musk, form a warm and stable foundation that envelops the skin with a soft, long-lasting trail, making the fragrance memorable and multifaceted throughout the day.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

This fragrance is simply awful. The spices used here remind me of something unbearable, and the sandalwood only makes the situation worse. The softness and sweetness seem out of place, and the woody notes press on my throat. All in all, a complete disappointment 😒
5/5

From the first moment I inhaled it, I knew it was something special. This fragrance is simply a treasure, it gives confidence and a sense of charm. On the skin, it unfolds so softly, like light silk, without being intrusive or suffocatingly heavy. On the contrary, it's like an invisible veil, delicate and exquisite, with a light sweet undertone
5/5

The fragrance is warm, the sandalwood here is really pleasant, enveloping. Spicy-creamy notes, benzoin, and powdery flowers create an interesting combination. I can't say I immediately liked it, but there's something about it. It doesn't seem entirely my style, but it caught my attention

The sandalwood here is simply magnificent, framed by light spicy and resinous notes. The fragrance creates a warm, oriental atmosphere that is truly captivating. Musk is also noticeable, and overall, this combination is excellent for both women and men 🌟

The fragrance didn't impress me at all. I was looking for something with pink sandalwood, and it really promised to be wonderful! When I applied it to my wrist, I felt joy from the light, fresh sandalwood scent))) But then came the disappointment. Woody notes appeared, some kind of spice, a sweetness reminiscent of diphenhydramine, and a feeling of a stuffy room. I know many people are happy with this perfume. But, alas, it's not for me(( In it, I feel like a sweaty man from a sawmill ((!!!

The perfume turned out to be quite sharp, with clear woody and spicy notes. The sandalwood, which should have been at the base, sounds too harsh in my opinion. I would have liked it to be softer and perhaps with a slight tartness, that would have added interest. I understand that many may not agree with my opinion, but burnt sandalwood is definitely not for me

Hey, niche perfume lovers! The "Santal Blush" composition by Yann Vasnier left me with mixed feelings. At first, the scent seems pleasant and enveloping, but then you start to doubt. Warm spicy-creamy notes open with carrot seed oil, and spices like cinnamon and cumin create an interesting effect. But fenugreek surprises me: it's one thing on a blotter, and completely different on the skin. Unfortunately, I can't distinguish the floral notes, but they add mystery. Woody accords are also present, and benzoin seems to fix it all. Sandalwood and oud wood are clearly audible, and the longevity of the fragrance is impressive - even on the third day, the scent is still noticeable, as if I just applied it. The sillage is simply amazing, but it's one thing on clothes, and completely different on the skin 🤔
5/5

The scent is not sweet, but rather has a spicy and incense-like undertone. It's rough, with bitter herbs and creamy greenery. It starts with a bright vanilla foam, sprinkled with cinnamon. After a few hours, the resins mix with warm milk, and the wind carries away the spices and jasmine petals
4/5

Powdery spices with sandalwood create an amazing oriental accent, and the flowers only enhance this rich sound. It really impresses, that's for sure
4/5

The fragrance named "sandalwood" really lives up to its name, sandalwood is present here, but I don't like this kind. I prefer a softer and rounder sandalwood. This one sounds a bit dry, although warm 🌟
4/5

At first, there's a sharp woody scent, like freshly cut wood. Then it softens, warms up, and spicy notes with a light musky undertone start to emerge. This fragrance is definitely not for everyone, it's quite extravagant and intriguing
3/5

First time I tried it - almost fell from the sharpness. Where is lightness and freshness? Instead, suffocating stuffiness, head spun. How could they create such a thing? 😤
4/5

The smell reminds me of baked carrots with spices, strange, but true. Floral notes are present, but they don't stand out, remaining in the background. The fragrance evokes a feeling of calm, it's not overpowering, not aggressive at all. The longevity is good, but the sillage leaves something to be desired 😔
4/5

Santal Blash - it's like a memory of something that can no longer be brought back. The fragrance is, without a doubt, interesting, but the sandalwood here, it seems to me, is too dry, although creamy. Warm spices swirl around it, which, though unusual, still complement the sandalwood well. The longevity of the fragrance is impressive, it seems to cling to the skin and doesn't let go 😔
5/5
5
The fragrance is interesting, of course, but these notes of cinnamon and spices are just irritating, as if someone decided to play a trick on my receptors. The woody base notes, yes, they are realistic, but that doesn't save the situation. Light and unobtrusive? Don't make me laugh! It just gets stuck in your nose and doesn't leave, like an annoying guest 😤
