Santal Majuscule Eau de Parfum

Declared Notes

The Architecture

Now that Santal Blanc has been shifted to the exclusive Palais-Royal collection, Serge Lutens's export line was bereft of a scent showcasing one of the major materials of his oriental palette. Santal Majuscule, which means�sandalwood with a capital letter��, plays on the secular harmony of this creamy, smoky, almost floral note with roses. The unexpected twist is the addition of cocoa � not the dry, powdery type matched with patchouli in Borneo 1834, but a smooth touch of chocolate that marries with the milkiness of sandalwood in a subtly gourmand accent. A tender, subtle rendition of the note: in�majuscule��, you could read�magic�� � as in the magical world of a little black-eyed boy called Serge, who put capital letters to words like�Gold��,�Fire�� and�Flowers��.
