Warm enough to feel right. Easy enough to forget.

Some choices just work. This one keeps working. The best kind of invisible.

Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.

Projectionmid-range0.45

Riskfamiliar0.28

Santal Blanc is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 31st percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.42

Santal Blanc carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 22nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.48

Santal Blanc carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 67th percentile for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
