Notes:
Santal Basmati Perfume opens with a soft, milky warmth that immediately draws the senses inward. The heart part is where the duo of the two ingredients unveil themselves which are the main actors in this fragrance - the soft velvety sandalwood and the meager but sweet basmati rice are together in a cozy, and balanced way. The base is built on a solid, soft foundation of creamy woods and light musks which remain on the skin like an invisible, but very comforting second skin.
Suggested Use
Santal Basmati Perfume is ideally suited for intimate settings and cooler seasons, though its soft warmth makes it wearable year-round.
