Matiere Premiere Santal Austral Extrait de Parfum

A creamy sandalwood fragrance that is both powerful and long-lasting.

Founder and Perfumer Aurélien Guichard has introduced Black Cardamom Absolute Nepal as a guest ingredient, enhancing the original formula. This version boasts a higher perfume concentration and increased amounts of Organic Sandalwood Oil from Australia, resulting in a unique intensity that adds spicy and vibrant dimensions to the scent.

MATIERE PREMIERE is the French phrase for “raw material”. Our fragrances are built around one central natural ingredient, used in its highest dosage.​

Between Paris and Grasse, Aurélien Guichard, Founder and Perfumer of the House, reveals the unique texture and the most beautiful facets of each central ingredient, with contemporary, direct, understandable fragrances.

The fragrances are composed to offer an unparalleled “sillage”, an emotional imprint that will never fade. We pay particular attention to pushing each step of the ageing process, from maturation to maceration to ensure a unique quality.

MATIERE PREMIERE perfumes contain between 85% and 92% natural ingredients. They are vegan, phthalate free and without any colouring agent.
