Vétiver Santal successfully combines the rustic scent of vetiver with the smooth scent of sandalwood by way of vetiver's hazelnut facets and sandalwood's milky facets. This brilliant pairing is further augmented by the addition of sweet notes of benzoin and the earthy din of patchouli for a perfume that exudes elegance and modernity.
However, vetiver is the main theme all the way long, and it has what we like the most – the slightly naughty and earthy feeling of this root. It is smooth and silky, not suffocating.
In Vetiver Santal, you can admire and enjoy the aromas of a rare variety of sandalwood from New Caledonia, vetiver from Haiti, patchouli from Indonesia, and benzoin from Siam, among other exquisite materials.
It's a long lasting eau de parfum.

Marie Jeanne uses natural, cruelty-free natural essences in all its products. Working with Robertet perfumers, Marie Jeanne founder George Maubert – scion of a family that has been very influential in the perfume industry since 1850 – focuses on creating stripped-down, elegant compositions that emphasize the native variety of their ingredients.
Robertet is a bit like De Beers of the fine natural perfume materials - matières premières; for decades, they have been dealing with the finest, purest, and most precious stuff a perfumer can dream of.
