Santal Blanc

Imagine Santal 33 but dialed down by 80% then a splash of warm toasted almond milk, hint of vanilla brown sugar and a tiny twist of orange peel. Fig note lends warmth and richness but is not at all herbaceous like in Philosykos. It’s a polite classy creamy woody+musky scent. Spraying on clothes boosts projection/longevity but bring a small atomizer along because it’s gone by noon.

The tonka, benzoin, fig, and sandalwood combo bring an almost toasted nutty gourmand nuance to me. Very creamy. Interesting scent but not for me, makes me slightly nauseous.

Santal Blanc is one of the softest sandalwood fragrances I've tried. Instead of being dry or sharp, it feels creamy, slightly powdery and very comforting. The fruity opening disappears quickly, leaving behind a smooth woody scent with a delicate musky warmth. It's elegant, understated and easy to wear in any season. Not a loud fragrance, but people who come close will definitely notice it.

So smooth , creamy, coconutty and enveloping, sandalwood with sweet fig. In my opinion all VC&A perfumes are made meticulously, there is not one scent that is overly risky or unpleasant. Might be not in someone’s scent profile but all are made in good taste and very elegant. If not for the price I d have them all !

I dont like this perfume anymore. I am uk based, how can i sell it? Ebay and vinted have blocked me since i made £200 by selling a perfume in the past. It was legitimate but they kept insisting that i was promoting counterfeit. I am stuck with perfume, unless someone wants to take it, selling for maybe £80, sprayed maybe 10x.

Idk, it smells coconutty to me. A blend of coconut and fig. The sandalwood is there in the background, but I don't have another perfume with sandalwood notes that's appropriate for a hot summer day besides this one.

I found a second-hand bottle, almost full, so I decided to try my luck and blind buy, and see how it will behave on my skin. Green fig and fig leaves, light wood and airy musk. I dont smell any mandarin and I dont really know how to distinguish violet, maybe thats the green accent? I think what people think is dill etc is the green fig. It smells like you just passed under a fig tree with lots of leaves and green little figs. Its fresh and a bit weird, creamy-cold. There is one in my street and the perfume smells just like it. I find similar fig in Zara Amber & Fig, its the same creamy-cold smell, almost like an expensive body lotion but also a bit odd. The pefume is a bit weird and I think thats what makes it smell niche. I think its more a vibe than just a fragrance, so maybe it needs specific conditions to develop. I had similar experience with Pierre Guillaume perfumes. Im taking it with me on vacay so lets see how it will develop near the sea.

оч вкусный оч классный, но пахнет огурцами, к сожалению.

One of the best that designer perfumes for those that love niche. The scent equivalent of drinking a horchata.

who has a bottle for sale pls PM me

This is my perfect sandalwood. I can stop searching, because this is the one. I agree completely with the descriptions of it being ethereal. Its creamy and elegant, yet has an airy feel to it. To my nose, theres a slight green touch, but nowhere near as green as MP Parisian Musc. I prefer this one by far, as the fig and violets are perfectly balanced. This would make for a unique signature scent, i barely knew VCA made perfumes until i started to dive deeper into the fragrance community

A creamy, white wood scent that feels almost celestial. Violet always seems to carry this quality to me, an ethereal, liminal melancholy. Here it makes the sandalwood feel otherworldly, the wood with which Tolkien elves build their furniture. Very elegant.

This is simply gorgeous. It’s clean, powdery, and creamy.

Too soapy scent

Sandalwood scent which gives an airy feel. Very easy to wear, even during hot summer. Woodiness isn't loud. Sillage is moderate.

I first tried this at the Frankfurt airport and immediately knew I had to have it. It’s such a beautiful scent—light, pleasant, and effortlessly elegant. What I really love is how it stays close to the skin, making it perfect for the office or any setting where you want something subtle and non-intrusive. Nothing in it screams for attention, yet somehow that’s what makes it so special. It’s soft, balanced, and quietly captivating. Every time I wear it, I just feel pretty and put together. It’s one of those fragrances that doesn’t overpower but still leaves a lasting impression in the most delicate way.

i smelled this on my friend and sampled it and it smells exactly like azarro the most wanted.

This is essentially a solid substitute for Lovers LV and an even better alternative to s33. It’s extremely similar to Lovers LV but I’d say less woodsy and musk forward. For the price it’s a no brainer to consider as well if discounted I’ve tried various fragrances that are similar to s33 and this might be my favorite as it addresses both of my qualms I have towards Parsian Musc (creamy fig is too similar to Matcha 26 to me) and Papyrus Moleculaire (opening is a bit rough for me despite it has a beautiful drydown) I definitely FB worthy in case Lovers Lv ever goes away

Pretty much a dupe to Matiere Premiere's Parisian Musk, yet that one is better, the notes seem crisper and more refined.

This is 100% masculine. Another blind purchase fail after reading misleading reviews here. When I’d learn…

better than i had hoped for! blind bought this based on the notes and tiktok reviews and it did not disappoint. this has similar nuances from tam dao and parisian musc but stands on its own. very bright in the opening, very woody and creamy in the drydown. if you like/own phylosikos, tam dao, santal blush or parisian musc, this one is in the same vein and worth owning as well.

green, clean, and very fresh. a little fruity (think green gooseberry skin scent) with a little nonchalant farm of flowers (i was thinking of vanilla orchid almost). very light, refreshing, very sexy (blushing from a whaff of scent type sexy im insane wow). very light but STAYS and wont budge.

It doesn't happen often that I have to throw a testing paper strip to the trash before I give it a chance to unfold but I had to do it with this one and even that was too late because it already sat in a pocket of my bag for about an hour and stank it up for good next two or three weeks. It was a nightmare. All I could smell was raw fig sap/latex and old, overgrown dill that already has seeds. I think I could smell a stinkbug somewhere there in it too. Garden smells you do not want to smell, let alone wrap yourself in. Despite that the scent remained in my bag for weeks, it did not evolve into anything else. Since I had become familiar with these fig sap notes, I noticed that it became a sort of a popular thing among people and I just don't get it. When did this become a trend? I don't remember any fig notes from before. It's bearable if I randomly catch a whiff on a street but I just don't find it appealing at all. I love the scent of real fig trees in summer but these fragrances just aren't that. The note is too sharp to my nose.

I have Parisian Musc and Santal Blanc and they are not close. Santal Blanc actually has a sandy feeling reminiscent of Dior Dune Pour Homme. It's fresh, airy and not so sweet. My Score : 8.5 / 10

My favorite fig perfume so far... I wear it everyday. The opening is a green sharp fig, you can even imagine the color and the velvety texture of the fruit with an airy feeling, followed by the smell of tangerines and soft wood. A woman sitted under a fig tree, eating a tangerine while leaning against the tree. The winds blows, the smells combine, faint woody smell, green figs and the taste/smell of the citrus in her mouth... Time passes and the notes start to evaporate... the sandalwood, in my opinion, starts to reveal its true purpose: creaminess. The fig goes from green, leaving behind the airy feeling, to ripe, becoming purple, juicy, sweeter rounded by the creaminess of the sandalwood to give the illusion of fig milk. Musk, tonka beans and benzoin give the composition a great base to stay on skin due to the volatility of the tangerine and violet notes. The composicion remains based on fig+sandalwood = fig milk with the support of the base notes to last all day. On my skin there is no overly woody profile or mega powdery profile as fragrantica suggest but a green profile that is airy, evolving to a creamy fruty-sweet. No vanilla-sweet. No balsamic. No warm spicy. Warm skin temperature, daytime perfume. Recommended 100%. For me is one of the bests! The sweet spot of fig fragrances!

This one is perfection. Creamy, soft, woody, airy , and oh so refined. Still on the sample but will definitely be getting a full bottle

if anyone has a bottle please message me 😆

I have been captured by this fragrance, althought I am not a fig or sandalwood fan this combination here works for me. I somehow pick coconut in the opening which quickly turns into a creamy, nutty note. Slightly balsamic, woody in the drydown, the tonka bin rounds the citric note of the opening it into a milky, airy and sophisticated scent. Due to its depth I would personally use this fragrance over the fall/winter months.

This was a blind buy and I was a bit scared but this perfume is a pure heaven❤️its creamy, coconuty and so soft, imo safe blind buy, amazing scent for summer and winter because it feels really cosy but luxurious. Easy to wear to bed as well

Very creamy,very angelic soft perfume reminds me white silk dress and feminine .My wife should smells like this
