Miller Harris' Peau Santal is a niche composition compiled from high quality components and targeted at the consumer who wants to wear something out of the ordinary. Mathieu Nardin is the perfumer behind this poignant creation. Artisan scents, such as this one, offer a heartening change from conventional designer fare. They are created by companies that concentrate in this area rather than bigger haute-couteur houses. However, some of these smaller businesses have now been swallowed up by large corporations. A Symphony for the NoseTo my senses Powdered Veil is a very specific shade of pink, something muted and bandage-like, a piece of faded circus poster cached behind tracing paper that has been used over and over. I’m quite obsessed by it. Pink is a strange hue, ranging from eye bright neon and princess tones to the unsettling camouflage Mountbatten Pink used in the 1940s and Baker-Miller Pink used experimentally on moods and emotions in the late 70s. This doesn’t mean that Powdered Veil is sweet or gourmand, the powder is ghostly and transparent, touches of fruit and lush white orchid add form to shadow. There is a smell of childhood doll skin, plastic and malleable and just enough patchouli and labdanum to halt any potential boudoir overdosing. Santal 33 is available in France, the U.K., Japan, Australia, and Korea. It also has a presence in New York, London, and Tokyo. You can find it in stores, boutiques, and online. Featuring traditional masculine and feminine notes, Santal 33 is an excellent unisex fragrance that will last very long. Its ingredients include woody cedar, sandalwood, and spicy Cardamom. Peau Santal 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 It's worth highlighting that "santal" is a translation of "sandalwood," a note that has long been associated with masculine fragrances in perfumery due to its smooth, woody aroma and earthy nature. However, it is also milky and slightly sweet, which widens its appeal.

Juliette Has a Gun is a brand that knows how to have fun, so it’s no surprise that Sunny Side Up comes in a bottle that, when viewed from above, looks like an egg. The theme here is hot sunny days spent on beaches where the sand is so hot you could fry an egg on it. The scent evokes sun lotion, using the creamy aspects of sandalwood to recreate hot, sun-kissed skin coated in coconutty sun cream. It’s as enjoyable as a hot summer’s day spent at the beach (which is to say, very enjoyable). 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.

Le Cedre is a good example of the sensual softness of woods. Boasting a delightfully delicate and powdery note of cedar wood, which is spicy and human but also reminiscent of pencil shavings, with pepper and orchid for contrast, Le Cedre is an introverted skin scent that feels introspective and quiet. I genuinely think it is one of the most handsome fragrances out there, evoking the image of a handsome, foppish man with great hair and excellent taste in books. Woody fragrances are simply some of the most intriguing, evocative and beautiful. Here are five you need to know about.

If you’re into perfume, you’ll know that sandalwood is very much having a moment right now, thanks mostly to Le Labo. Their cult Santal 33, approaches this usually rich, woody note from a new angle that is both fresh and expansive. Peau Santal explores a similar theme, but I think it does so in a more interesting manner – one that is more textural and tactile. Sandalwood here is clean and crisp, but also creamy and warm. It undulates, moving seamlessly from cool to warm, with freshness extended by the mineral greenery of violet leaf. It is quite something, and I’ll leave you with one crucial piece of info: Peau Santal is my most worn woody fragrance. Enough said. 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. 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. 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. The scent is less long-lasting than some wood-based fragrances, but it improves with time. The smell is also a bit cleaner, though it’s not quite as sharp as AnOther 13. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys woody, herbal, or citrus notes.

SANTAL 33 was created by a perfumer named Christophe Laudamiel. This fragrance is a woody fragrance that is not overly masculine. It also has a touch of violet. The aroma is said to be good for sleep, which is good if you want a good night’s sleep.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.
