Description
Astrophil & Stella Mon Santal (Extrait de Parfum) offers a brand new perspective on the scent of sandalwood. While paying homage to the legendary Mysore sandalwood, the perfume takes it into unexpected and modern territory. The perfume does not open with the usual creamy scent, but with a lively, spicy sparkle. Pink pepper, nutmeg, and cardamom lend a piquant twist, softened by rice and rhubarb. It takes on a delicate, almost gourmand character, yet it is never sweet, but textured and nuanced. The tension results in a dynamic opening: lively yet refined, fiery yet with a soft touch.
As Mon Santal unfolds, the heart notes reveal its soul in a calm, meditative aura. Creamy incense and palo santo intertwine with delicate lactonic notes, radiating a sacred, velvety softness that is both minimalistic and deep. The heart of the perfume is quiet and effortlessly elegant, as if breathing between the energy of the opening and the depth of the base notes.
The base of Astrophil & Stella Mon Santal reveals a true commitment to sandalwood. Creamy Australian sandalwood is enriched with soft musk, ambroxan, and a delicate hint of vanilla and caramel. The result is a timeless and modern, sensual yet understated perfume, a uniquely wearable tribute to Mysore sandalwood that fits perfectly with everyday sophistication.
