Description

A floral woody fragrance with a highly distinctive identity, Santal Précieux is above all a fragrance of essences. Inspired by CARON’s heritage, it features a duo of rare and precious essences that are a favourite of CARON. Luxurious rose absolute encounters an extraordinary Fairtrade sandalwood.

From Australia and New Caledonia, two superb sandalwood essences lend this fragrance its ultra-contemporary character. Tempered by the amber notes of cistus labdanum, the sandalwood reveals its creamy facets through a warm milk note. The rose, enhanced by the spicy accents of elemi and pink peppercorn, envelops it in a fresh luminous floral breath.

In this radical composition, traditional roles are reversed; the flower becomes masculine and the wood feminine. The fluidity of gender in all its splendour.

This Santal Précieux is a jewel of audacity and creativity!

Story

At CARON, gender exists only as a barrier to be torn down! CARON gladly defies archetypes.
A tribute to the trailblazers of yesterday and today, Santal Précieux is an original, cutting-edge fragrance that, just like them, likes to shake things up. An ode to independent men and women who are not afraid to show their emotions. In brief, a resolutely modern perfume.

DID YOU KNOW?
Ever wanted to make sandalwood essence? You’ll need plenty of patience! In New Caledonia, where this rare tree still grows, you will have to wait between 25 to 30 years before a freshly planted specimen can be processed. Then, you’ll need one ton of heartwood – the so-called “perfect” wood found in the centre of the trunk – to obtain just 50kg of essential oil. Now you know why this raw material is one of the most precious in the perfumer’s palette.

Fouler le pays enchanté

Porter Santal Précieux c'est réinventer le pays imaginaire, ses encens, ses ocres, les chaudes senteurs poudrées des iris, les bois suaves. Il ouvre sur la vision des palais byzantins, les ors, les drapés soyeux. Santal précieux habille le voyage, me voilà en partance vers la volupté.
