Now that Santal Blanc has been shifted to the exclusive Palais-Royal collection, Serge Lutens's export line was bereft of a scent showcasing one of the major materials of his oriental palette. Santal Majuscule, which means “sandalwood with a capital letter”, plays on the secular harmony of this creamy, smoky, almost floral note with roses. The unexpected twist is the addition of cocoa – not the dry, powdery type matched with patchouli in Borneo 1834, but a smooth touch of chocolate that marries with the milkiness of sandalwood in a subtly gourmand accent. A tender, subtle rendition of the note: in “majuscule”, you could read “magic” – as in the magical world of a little black-eyed boy called Serge, who put capital letters to words like “Gold”, “Fire” and “Flowers”.

 

Notes:

Sandalwood, rose, cocoa, tonka bean

Beautiful, comforting sandalwood

Such a great scent profile, the chocolate note grounds the sandalwood and makes it so serene and comforting. It is subtly sexy as with all SL I’ve smelled.

So far, I have been incredibly impressed with the quality of samples I have received from Scent Split. Concentration and freshness/ purity seem to be perfect. This review is for Santal Majuscule. As the description promised, this is the most luscious, rich, chocolately sandalwood I have ever worn. A paradox of simplicity and opulence. The rose is such a classic combination and lends a tender supporting note in the background. It has a velvety soft, enveloping character that carries you throughout the day on a pillow of luxury. This will uplift and elevate just about any occasion. Making dinner at home or going to the opera, it will bring your greatness to your nose wherever it goes!
