Story & heritage
Imagine sitting in solitude on the rugged, wide plains of the American West, firelight on your face, indigo-blue night skies above. There is nothing around save for the soft, desert wind. You. Are. Free. From this defining vision was born SANTAL 33: a perfume that touches the vast and wild universality of this dream... that intoxicates... It combines a mix of cardamom and notes of iris and violet, which crackle in the formula. Added to this smoking wood alloy (Australian sandalwood, cedarwood) are some spicy, leathery, musky notes, giving this perfume its signature and addictive comforting scent. Here is, in a few words, what SANTAL 33 is... An open fire... The soft drift of smoke... Where sensuality rises after the light has gone.
Le Labo (French: the lab) is a slow perfumery brand born in Grasse, France, based in New York City and owned by Estée Lauder. Le Labo was founded in 2006 in New York City by two friends. It was purchased by Estée Lauder Companies in 2014. Le Labo fragrances are named after the principal scent note and the total number of ingredients combined to make them.
Materials & craft

How to choose & style
Let it sit against simple clothes and low-noise accessories so the petals stay elegant, not decorative.
