Santal Blush by Tom Ford
Launch Year: 2011
Perfumer: Yann Vasnier
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Fragrance Profile:
Part of the Tom Ford Private Blend collection and one of the most celebrated sandalwood fragrances in modern niche perfumery. Built around a masterful replication of Mysore sandalwood using Australian Sandalwood and proprietary accords. Spices, Caraway, Cinnamon, Fenugreek and Carrot Seeds open with a warm, earthy and slightly exotic spice accord of immediate skin-like intimacy. Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine and Rose build a blush floral heart that softens the spice with quiet sensuality. Sandalwood, Benzoin, Virginia Cedar, Musk and Agarwood close with a creamy, enveloping and deeply luxurious woody base that wears like a second skin.
Performance:
Good longevity with a soft, close-to-skin projection. The sandalwood-benzoin base carries quietly but persistently for hours — a fragrance built for intimacy rather than statement-making.
Ideal For:
Year-round wear, with a natural pull toward autumn and cooler months. A truly genderless woody oriental for those who want sandalwood done at the highest level — warm, intimate and quietly addictive. Widely regarded as one of the finest sandalwood-centered fragrances ever created.
