SANTAL 33 was created by a perfumer named Christophe Laudamiel. This fragrance is a woody fragrance that is not overly masculine. It also has a touch of violet. The aroma is said to be good for sleep, which is good if you want a good night’s sleep. Miller Harris' Peau Santal is a niche composition compiled from high quality components and targeted at the consumer who wants to wear something out of the ordinary. Mathieu Nardin is the perfumer behind this poignant creation. Artisan scents, such as this one, offer a heartening change from conventional designer fare. They are created by companies that concentrate in this area rather than bigger haute-couteur houses. However, some of these smaller businesses have now been swallowed up by large corporations. A Symphony for the Nose

First things first, can we talk about how beautifully evocative the name ‘ Powdered Veil‘ is? It makes one think of a shower of powder – a deluge of fine dust that lands on the skin in delicate, silky drops, coating the body in a gauzy mist of beauty. What it leads one to imagine is a fragrance of transparency and that’s exactly what this is – a clear take on the usually dense note of amber seen through a veil of flowers. Peau Santal is a laying down of sandalwood with green violet leaf, vanilla and the unfurling of a cool metallic frankincense note. I like its kindness and addictive dry papery mood. Sandalwood scents are often described as creamy, it is the nature of the natural wood, however due to prohibitive costs of natural sandalwood, there are a veritable forest of synth-tree substitutes out there for perfumers to utilise in compositions. These add their own deeply satisfying artificial edge to an imagined wood accord and in Peau Santal it is almost like peeling the bark off an aromatic tree to find the glint of metal below.

The subtle warmth and exoticism of incense introduces a discrete hint of desire within the heart, simmering down to an earthy richness thanks to woodsy accords of papyrus and invigorating violet leaf.

For award-winning perfume expert and author Dariush Alavi, it's the particular combination of papyrus, leather and spices that gives it tremendous personality and tenacity. "It's bold, assertive and room filling, but without resorting to sweetness or vanilla or 'spiky' amber notes. When it emerged, it felt like a breath of fresh (if balmy!) air," he says.

The base notes are amber, cedarwood, and sandalwood, with a touch of iris, leather, and papyrus. There’s also a good amount of musk, which gives the scent a rich, velvety texture. The smell also has a good amount of terphenyl acetate, providing a slightly warm, herbal character.The most famous scent from Le Labo, Santal 33, is a woody, masculine fragrance. The notes are dominated by sandalwood, but there’s also a touch of iris and leather. This fragrance is designed as unisex, meaning that it can be modeled by men and women alike.

For their latest launches, Peau Santal and Powdered Veil, Miller Harris has laid flora gently to one side for an imagining of dream skin, how perfumes diffuse and adore our surfaces. I have been wearing them for a while now, on their own and even more deliciously layered together, creating a mix of vanillic woodiness dusted with butterfly wing delicacy. They are private scents, a genuine comfort amid the cacophony of modern perfumery. Using a top-notch skin care regimen is a no-brainer if you are a man about town. The best part is you will be rewarded with many benefits, including a sexier man, better looks, and improved self-esteem. To top it off, you can disburse more time at the club, thus reducing your social anxiety. The Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de parfum is a woody, leathery fragrance. It is a perfect scent for those who like to be trendy. It is an oil-based fragrance and is cruelty-free.

Santal 33 is available in France, the U.K., Japan, Australia, and Korea. It also has a presence in New York, London, and Tokyo. You can find it in stores, boutiques, and online. Woody fragrances are often seen as masculine, and much of mainstream masculine perfumery indeed uses wood notes; however, to say they are exclusively masculine isn’t 100% true. Take Feminite du Bois by Serge Lutens, which was one of the first fragrances to explore the theme of woods from a feminine point of view, for example. In this iconic Lutens scent, spicy, skin-like cedar is contrasted by plum, creating a striking juxtaposition between the stark, angular quality of woods and the soft, juiciness of fruit. The result is a singular and bold fragrance that showcases the feminine elegance of woods.
