Miller Harris Peau Santal Eau de Parfum | Sandalwood Perfume (50ml)

Product Information

The skin we’re in is sixteen percent of our overall body weight and the largest organ we possess; calibrating a vast array of stimuli that can raise us to ecstasy or bring us to our knees, supplicant in agony. We pierce, ink and cut our surfaces but also soothe, salve and ritualise. Without skin, perfume is nothing but molecules hanging in time; complex blended accords, intricate structures waiting for the heat of throat, thigh, wrist and collarbone. It is this delicious legerdemain of perfume expanding and projecting from the body that makes the wearing of scent so utterly compelling.

Woody fragrances are exactly what you expect them to be: perfumes created using and inspired by woods. There are many types of wood used in perfumery but, perhaps two of the most prevalent, and famous, are sandalwood and cedar wood, with each having many natural and synthetic variants that form part of the perfumer’s palette. PEAU SANTAL: Alcohol Denat., Parfum (Fragrance), Aqua (Water), Limonene, Linalool, Farnesol, Citral, Evemia Furfuracea Extract, Coumarin. Using a top-notch skin care regimen is a no-brainer if you are a man about town. The best part is you will be rewarded with many benefits, including a sexier man, better looks, and improved self-esteem. To top it off, you can disburse more time at the club, thus reducing your social anxiety.If you’re looking for a ‘day-to-day’ scent, the more delicate Miller Harris Powdered Veil Eau de Parfum Spray is a fragrance that will make you feel beautiful. Tactile and subtle, If Peau Santal is a mature juice, then Powdered Veil is its blossoming younger sister. The scent is not for the young and the uninitiated, but it is a classic for a reason. There’s a tremendous amount of freshness and longevity to this fragrance. SANTAL 33 is a perfume from Le Labo. It was created by the company’s perfumer Frank Voelkl. He was born in Germany but grew up in France. He studied perfumery at ISIPCA and worked for the fragrance house Firmenich before launching his brand of perfumes.

First things first, can we talk about how beautifully evocative the name ‘ Powdered Veil‘ is? It makes one think of a shower of powder – a deluge of fine dust that lands on the skin in delicate, silky drops, coating the body in a gauzy mist of beauty. What it leads one to imagine is a fragrance of transparency and that’s exactly what this is – a clear take on the usually dense note of amber seen through a veil of flowers. This style of perfumery can be many things and is awash with contrasts. Woody fragrances can be both cool and warm, hard and soft, rough and smooth, rich and sparse, spicy and mineral, and also much, much more. They can evoke warm skin, hot days and finely milled powders, overlapping with the other fragrance families and blurring all gender lines. Floral-woody-musky combinations are reminiscent of the woodland, pairing wild forest flowers with more earthy tones for a very natural-smelling result. Bergamot, saffron and pink pepper make up the top of this particular EdP. Next the middle of incense, violet and papyrus fills the air. As the fragrance matures, the base of vanilla, amber, sandalwood, cashmere and moss climbs to conclude the olfactory experience. If you're into discovering this scent-profile, why not try Hermès Voyage too. Miller Harris Fragrances: Price UK Sandalwoods are the in thing at the moment and the fresh, transparent sandalwood is even more in (see dunhill London Century), with many interpretations of sandalwood moving away from the warm, creamy facets of the material to something fresher, milkier, and more contemporary. Peau Santal most certainly sits on the more translucent end of the spectrum, feeling like a breeze of sandalwood presented with coolness and freshness.

Lashings of vanilla form the foundations of its heady base, with the creamy richness of sandalwood enriching this Eau de Parfum with an alluring skin-scent that is heightened by the rich warmth of cashmere, bergamot and moss. Its dry sensuality will make you smell utterly irresistible. Woody fragrances are often seen as masculine, and much of mainstream masculine perfumery indeed uses wood notes; however, to say they are exclusively masculine isn’t 100% true. Take Feminite du Bois by Serge Lutens, which was one of the first fragrances to explore the theme of woods from a feminine point of view, for example. In this iconic Lutens scent, spicy, skin-like cedar is contrasted by plum, creating a striking juxtaposition between the stark, angular quality of woods and the soft, juiciness of fruit. The result is a singular and bold fragrance that showcases the feminine elegance of woods. Peau Santal is sophistication bottled and will linger long after you’ve left the room. Distinctive, addictive and excitingly mysterious, don’t be surprised if this Eau de Parfum becomes your signature.
