This is another beautiful fragrance from Serge Lutens. Unfortunately I can't find it in the original bottle (seen above, the tall bottle), but I have it in the newer square botlte. It opens with...

Starts off with savoury spices (I mostly smell fenugreek) before the sandalwood emerges, somewhat sweet and creamy, but not at all nauseating in the way that sandalwood can sometimes be to me. In...

Santal blanc is a linear, quiet, natural smelling, sweet, creamy, calming powdery sandalwood once it dries down and I find this part truly lovely. My gripes are: i) The performance is average...

Eventually creamy sandalwood that starts with an argumentative tone and then decides to make peace with me. I don't like the top notes on my skin, some dark and not so deep spiciness accompanied...

I worship the beginning of this, and I am not a sandalwood girl. But then it does something less than pleasant, before settling into a very nice, perfectly pleasant drydown. The end is creamy woods...

As with Lutens' Arabie, this stuff reaks too. Terrible. I like strong, heavy perfumes (Coco Chanel, Shalimar, Tabu, Angel etc) but this I can't stand. Just like Arabie, it makes me feel sick to my...

So many SL fragrances have an overpowering pencil-shaving note to my nose and Santal Blanc is no exception. There's some lovely sandalwood in there, but it's been smothered by a massive note of...

This started off smelling like a mild curry on me then gradually softened and I could smell the sandalwood. Not my favourite but ok,probably wouldn´t buy it again as I don´t fancy smelling like a...

Notes: white sandalwood, cinnamon, fenugreek, pink pepper, rose, jasmine, orris root, musk, benzoin and copaiba balsam. This fragrance opens with a blast of spices dancing on a sandalwood...

Not my favourite Lutens, for a start. I also expected something sandalwood like, creamy, cozy. I get something very sirupy at the beginning, enhanced with disturbing peppery notes (white...

When I first tried it on, it was a spicy, heady, stinky mess. Even the shopgirl, told me "not this, try something else". However, 5-10 minutes later I got whiffs that were not bad at all. I was...

This is a very enjoyable, pleasant scent on paper. I can smell the sandalwood, and it is light and woodsy and accompanied by Lutens' typical (and overrated, in my opinion) sweet syrup smell. I was...

This is a woody fragrance with the perfect combination of White Sandalwood spice. While it is not a light sandalwood it is easy to wear and not overpowering. As one may at time find, spicy...

This was my first SL fragrance purchase and it made me buy many more. It was everything I wanted and more. I received a small sample first, and was not even going to try it and when I did, I could...

This is one of my favourite Serge Lutens perfumes. Smells extremely nice and cosy, though not without some naughtiness and mystery, I especially appreciate the oriental part of this scent. I have...

Generally, I fond Santal Blanc to be rather disappointing. I was hoping for a lightly spiced, creamy sandalwood fragrance with just the hints of soft florals and a musky/incense base. I was...

OK- I am going to *try* and be fairly objective at first. To my nose, Santal Blanc is gourmand/semi-leather fragrance with pungent top notes of sweet cinnamon and coffee. If you compared its first...

ew. This smells dirty, and not in a good way. Usually, Im disappointed when people cannot smell my perfume without placing their nose against my wrist. In this case, I was afraid they would be able...

Santal Blanc missed being a great fragrance by a hair. Serge Lutens was very close to a memorable sandalwood fragrance-- the cumin in the drydown destroys this fragrance--- on paper it isn't too...

Starts as a blast of pepper and wood. Next, balsams and benzoins appear, softening the mix and then these fade into faint florals. None of the notes vanish completely on me, and they mesh into a...
