Base notes
Santal Blanc by Van Cleef & Arpels (2019) is a unisex Collection Extraordinaire Eau de Parfum by Michel Almairac, built around New Caledonian sandalwood. A mandarin and fig milk top gives way to violet and sandalwood, settling into musk, tonka bean and benzoin. The fragrance comes in the line's iconic bottle lacquered white to reflect the theme of purity.
Scent story
Santal Blanc is sandalwood distilled to its softest, milkiest essence — creamy New Caledonian sandalwood wrapped in fig milk and a powdery musk, with just a flash of mandarin at the top. It's quiet, luminous and serene, like wearing cashmere. For beginners: one of the most approachable niche-grade sandalwoods you can buy — gentle, office-safe, and works year-round in Indian weather without ever feeling heavy.
