Santal 33
Eau de parfum
A campfire on the plains of the American West, between sandalwood and leather.
Santal 33 was born from an image: alone on the vast plains of the American West, face lit by a fire, under a deep blue night sky, with only the desert wind for company. Le Labo drew from it a woody scent that evokes both freedom and comfort.
Cardamom, iris and violet crackle at the opening. An alloy of smoky woods, Australian sandalwood and cedar, then takes over, carried by spicy, leathery and musky notes that give it its signature, enveloping and easy to recognise.

Santal 33 in detail
Le Labo, a New York house, names its fragrances after a material followed by a number. Santal 33, from its Classic Collection, evokes a campfire on the great plains of the American West: a dry, slightly leathery woody fragrance that plays on powder and smoke.
The house lists its notes without sorting them into stages. Cardamom brings a spicy freshness. Orris and violet give a powdery texture. Sandalwood and cedarwood form the woody heart of the composition, while leather and musk add a warmer, more sensual note.
Santal 33 is worn in spring, autumn and winter, by day or by night: at the office, at a dinner, or every day for those who love dry woods.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share its materials: Mojave Ghost by Byredo brings together sandalwood, violet, cedarwood and musk; Ormonde Woman by Ormonde Jayne pairs cardamom, violet, cedarwood and sandalwood around a conifer note; Oud by Acqua di Parma finds cedarwood, leather, sandalwood and musk again.
