Santal Calling in detail
Santal Calling is signed by Antoine Maisondieu for Ex Nihilo and built around Australian sandalwood album. Volute files it among woody fragrances: a creamy sandalwood, made softer still by milky, musky notes.
The official pyramid opens with a milky accord, rendered here as milky notes, and lightly spiced nutmeg. The heart pairs orris, rose and Cashmeran, rendered as felted, woody cashmere wood. The base gathers sandalwood, Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar and musk.
Santal Calling suits autumn and winter, by day or by night; its milky softness makes it a comforting scent in cold weather. With eight notes in all, its pyramid stays simple and keeps sandalwood in the foreground; orris and rose in the heart give it a powdery touch.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Bosco by Sospiro shares orris, cashmere wood, sandalwood and musk; Ceylon by Xerjoff finds sandalwood, musk and vanilla again; No1 Masculine by Clive Christian pairs nutmeg, sandalwood, vanilla and musk.
