Santal Blush
Fenugreek and carrot seed in the opening give Santal Blush a savory, slightly nutty quality that most spiced florals would avoid. Cinnamon and caraway anchor the spice with warmth before ylang-ylang and jasmine take the heart into tropical-floral territory, rose adding a fullness that prevents the ylang from becoming heady. The sandalwood base is the foundation everything is built on: creamy, smooth, and persistent, benzoin adding a quiet sweetness that the spiced opening earns.
Why We Carry This
Vasnier's spice-to-sandalwood construction in Santal Blush is one of the more original arrangements in the Private Blend catalog. The fenugreek opening is the kind of material choice that most mainstream houses would not approve, and it gives the composition a savory warmth that makes the sandalwood base feel genuinely earned rather than decorative. One of our most consistently requested Tom Ford titles.
