La Collection Merveilleuse wears its name well. Combining the gems of our heritage with very contemporary creations, every last detail illustrates the overwhelming creativity, daring spirit, and generosity of our House. Refillable, stackable and customizable, the O bottle is our emblem. Free to be different, La Collection Merveilleuse is the most beautiful expression of French Haute Parfumerie by CARON.
A floral woody fragrance with a very distinctive identity, Santal Précieux is above all a fragrance of essences. Inspired by CARON's origins, it features a duo of rare and precious essences that the House is known for. A luxurious rose absolute meets an extraordinary fair-trade sandalwood
From Australia and New Caledonia, two superb sandalwood essences give this fragrance its ultra-contemporary character. Rounded by the amber notes of cistus labdanum, the wood reveals its creamy facets through a note of warm milk. The rose, enhanced by the spicy accents of elemi and pink berry, wraps it in a fresh and 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!
At CARON, gender exists only as a barrier to be torn down! The House has been happily defying archetypes. Santal Précieux is a tribute to those pioneers of yesterday and today, an ode to independent women and the men who are receptive to their emotions. In short, it’s a fragrance for modern times.
DID YOU KNOW?
Want to produce sandalwood essence? You’re going to need a lot of patience! In New Caledonia, where this now-rare tree is still grown, you have to wait 25 to 30 years before a freshly planted specimen can be processed. Next, you’ll need one tonne of heartwood – the “perfect” wood at the centre of the trunk – to obtain 50 kg of essential oil. Now you know why this raw material is one of the most precious in the perfumer’s palette.
