What does Santal Volcanique smell like?
The opening. Fresh and spicy. Ginger and cardamom with a squeeze of lime, which Maison Crivelli call the perfumer's secret.
The heart. Dark, mineral woods. Sandalwood and cedar, with ylang-ylang running through them.
The base. Coffee absolute and soft musks. Smooth and dry rather than sweet.
Fragrantica's top accords for it are woody, warm spicy, citrus, fresh spicy and powdery.
Who should wear it, and when?
Anyone who wants a sandalwood that isn't creamy or sugary: this one is spicy, fresh and dry. It's unisex: Fragrantica and UK stockists list it for women and men.
Fragrantica voters pick it most for spring and autumn, and more for the day than the night. Two sprays, chest and the back of the neck.
