A cult-classic smoky-woody fragrance that weaves creamy Australian sandalwood and cedarwood with spicy cardamom, powdery iris & violet, and leathery-musk accents.
Santal 33 is an iconic unisex scent launched in 2011 by perfumer Frank Voelkl. It evokes sitting by an open fire on the vast American plains—heartfelt warmth, flickering smoke, and expansive skies. The blend opens with spicy cardamom and airy violet/iris, leading into a heart anchored by a burning wood alloy of sandalwood and cedarwood. The base deepens with supple leather, amberresin, and soft musk. Rich yet effortless, it's addictive and universally expressive
