Absolus Allegoria Santal Royal
Guerlain Santal Royal was built for the Middle Eastern market and it shows in the generosity of the base.
Neroli and jasmine open it, bright and honeyed together, and for a moment it reads as a straightforward floral.
Peach, rose and cinnamon form the heart. The peach is the surprise, soft and velvety against the spice, and the rose is the hinge that connects the fruit above to the wood below. Cinnamon keeps the whole middle warm and dry.
Sandalwood leads the base, with oud, leather, amber and musk behind it. Sandalwood here is creamy and thick rather than dry, oud adds its dense resinous depth, and the leather gives it an austere edge. This is the part that lasts, and it is unmistakably built in the Arabian style.
How Santal Royal wears
It lasts a long time and projects strongly. Cold weather and evenings suit it, and one application is enough for a day.
Guerlain Santal Royal Eau de Parfum, 125ml, created by Thierry Wasser and first launched in 2014 as part of Les Absolus d'Orient, now sold within the Absolus Allegoria collection. Guerlain was founded in Paris in 1828.
