How to read this
Top notes arrive first and last around fifteen minutes before giving way to the heart. The heart notes carry the true personality of the fragrance for the first one to two hours. The base notes emerge slowly and are what remains on skin and fabric long after the rest has faded. They define the lasting impression and the depth of Atelier Santal Bois.

About Atelier Santal Bois
Atelier Santal Bois performs best primarily in cooler months when ambient warmth amplifies its character. Its woody character and moderate sillage make it well suited for signature/genderless occasions. Because it projects at a comfortable distance that most people nearby will notice without being overwhelmed, you can calibrate your application to the setting. Starting with two sprays on pulse points and adjusting from there is a reliable approach.
