Santal Volcanique in detail
Maison Crivelli builds each fragrance on a travel story and on a contrast of materials. Santal Volcanique imagines a sandalwood blackened by lava, found on the side of an active volcano; the contrast is this powerful wood set against the softness of a coffee lifted with spices. It was created with Richard Ibanez.
The house lists its key raw materials without tiers. Roasted ginger and crackling cardamom bring the spices; burnt sandalwood and cedarwood, the woody heart; dried ylang-ylang, a floral touch. Coffee flows like a soft lava, and musks soften the whole. The detail that changes everything, according to the house: lime, whose sparkling zest cuts through the dark woods.
Santal Volcanique suits autumn and winter, by day or by night.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: No. 89 by Floris shares ylang-ylang, cedarwood, musk and sandalwood; No1 Masculine by Clive Christian pairs cardamom, lime, sandalwood and musk; Danaë by Argos finds cedarwood, sandalwood and musk again.
