Matiere Premiere Santal Austral Extrait de Parfum

Matiere Premiere Santal Austral Extrait de Parfum – Creamy Sandalwood Serenity in a Bottle
Warm, comforting, and effortlessly elegant, Santal Austral by Matiere Premiere is a modern tribute to one of perfumery’s most treasured ingredients: sandalwood. Composed by master perfumer Aurélien Guichard, this extrait de parfum invites you into a world of creamy textures, soft florals, and cozy sensuality. Rooted in sustainably sourced Australian sandalwood, Santal Austral takes the classic woody note and transforms it into a cashmere-like second skin, enriched with delicate touches of iris, tonka bean, and benzoin.

Now available at Scents Angel in a 5 ml sample pack, 10 ml travel spray, and full-size 100 ml bottle, Santal Austral is the scent of quiet sophistication—perfect for everyday luxury, intimate settings, and serene moments of self-reflection.

🌏 A Homage to Nature’s Most Soothing Wood
Matiere Premiere is known for its minimalist, ingredient-driven approach, and Santal Austral is no exception. This fragrance centers around one main idea: the smooth, milky richness of sandalwood, sustainably harvested from Australia. Unlike overly smoky or sharp interpretations, this sandalwood is soft, round, and comforting—like being wrapped in a warm blanket on a cool evening.

At Scents Angel, we celebrate scents that are both emotionally resonant and technically refined. Santal Austral is a masterclass in balance—earthy yet elegant, woody yet velvety, familiar yet quietly luxurious.

🌿 Scent Profile – Creamy, Woody, Floral, and Comforting

Key Notes:

• Australian Sandalwood

• Orris Butter

• Tonka Bean Absolute

• Benzoin Resinoid

The opening of Santal Austral immediately soothes the senses. The creamy, almost nutty richness of Australian sandalwood is front and center, offering an earthy yet airy character that feels both grounding and uplifting. This isn't a sharp or aggressive wood; it’s smooth and elegant, with a calming presence.

As the scent unfolds, orris butter from Tuscany emerges—one of the most luxurious floral notes in perfumery. Its powdery and slightly metallic character brings a quiet sophistication to the blend, softening the sandalwood without overwhelming it. Together, they create a texture that feels velvety and refined.

In the base, tonka bean and benzoin add warmth and sweetness. The tonka delivers an almondy, vanillic touch, while benzoin contributes a soft balsamic creaminess. The combination creates a cocooning sensation that feels like cashmere against the skin—cozy, gentle, and long-lasting.

🧘♂️ Who Should Wear Santal Austral?
Santal Austral is a unisex fragrance designed for those who appreciate understated elegance and the grounding beauty of natural woods. Ideal for:

• Lovers of sandalwood who want a modern, creamy interpretation
