Elie Saab La Collection Essence N°8 Santal 100ml

Woody Oriental

Notes: Sandalwood, Osmanthus.

Globally-coveted haute couture fashion house Elie Saab and Armenian perfumery maestro Francis Kurkdjian present La Collection des Essences; an exquisite compilation of nine fragrance editions composed of pure, high-grade botanical essences.

Creamy, buttery, smoky and rich, N°8 Santal celebrates Sandalwood in all its glory. An unparalleled interplay of dark, charred woods and Osmanthus that lends slightly sweet apricot-like facets offer a complexity that’s intoxicating and evocative of smooth leather.

Housed in a multi-dimensional glass flacon that exposes the rich amber hues of the concentrated essence with pure clarity.

Mist one or two sprays around your neck and on your pulse points (areas where the body is warmer, such as the wrists, ankles, inside the elbows and behind the knees) from a minimum distance of 6 inches, then allow to dry without rubbing.

Tip: Can be worn alone or layered with other essences within the collection for a bespoke fragrance.

Founded in 1988, Maison Margiela is synonymous with unconventional principles, synergising unique heritage with an exploration of deconstruction. The brand’s fragrances Mutiny and Untitled echo the designer’s values of nonconformity, diversity and creativity, while the best-selling Replica fragrance collection is designed to resonate with the imagination. Re-transcribing the scents of our collective memory, each unisex fragrance is housed in an apothecary-style bottle with a cotton label.

Like an haute couture dress, Elie Saab fragrances adorn the feminine form with radiant sensuality. The Lebanese designer’s segue into the world of perfumery in 2011 resulted in a curated scent collection that evokes the same elegance and presence as the couturier’s gowns.
