The woody yet refreshing scent of SANTAL DĀN SHĀ evokes the light breeze wafting through the gardens of imperial palaces, combining the balsamic sensuality of sandalwood with the crisp freshness of bergamot and cardamom. Blending these elegant notes, the captivating woody fragrance of sandalwood is awakened by invigorating bergamot, creating the captivating, majestic, and comforting effect of SANTAL DĀN SHĀ. This tranquil mood is evoked by the fragrance's sandalwood notes. Sandalwood, in turn, inspires the enchanting name of SANTAL DĀN SHĀ, as its rich cinnabar color is known in China as dān sha. The captivating effect of its scent evokes a sense of immersion in nature, in the otherworldly atmosphere of palace gardens, and recalls the abundance of their lush landscapes. The intense red hue of sandalwood also echoes the magnificent facades of imperial palaces. The top notes of SANTAL DĀN SHĀ open with a core of fresh, juicy, and sparkling bergamot from Calabria, which blends with a heart of warm and spicy cardamom from Guatemala, enlivened by a violet leaf accord. At the heart of the perfume is Elemi, a resin extracted from tropical trees, complemented by incense extract and musk, which lends a lingering effect. The fragrance's defining sandalwood is found in the base. Its creaminess combines with Virginia Cedar Essence and Dreamwood™, a synthetic note that amplifies the natural scent of sandalwood.560555 10 -
