Santal takes its inspiration from a Sandalwood fragrance originally created in the 1800s which has then been given a distinctive contemporary edge.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Santal suits the measured pace of a morning spent in close conversation across a desk. Citrus and lavender suggest freshly finished grooming, while pepper and sandalwood give that composed first impression a warmer, less austere edge.
How to wear
Try Santal in mild weather or on cooler days, when its citrus-aromatic opening can sit comfortably against the warm woody base. Start with two sprays on the neck and chest for close-range wear; use a lighter hand in heat, which can make the spice feel more prominent.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy aromatic freshness but want more warmth than a straightforward citrus fragrance. It will appeal to lovers of sandalwood, dry woods and measured spice, particularly anyone drawn to traditional fougère structure with a contemporary finish.

Floris’s story
Floris brings a family perfumery tradition rooted in London's Jermyn Street into contemporary fragrance. Its identity rests on craftsmanship, personal memories and continuity, treating its archives as material for new compositions rather than simply preserving the past.
Santal’s concept
Santal reinterprets a sandalwood fragrance created by Floris in the nineteenth century. The modern Eau de Toilette gives that archival theme a sharper outline through citrus, aromatic lavender and warm spices, retaining sandalwood at the centre without claiming to reproduce the historical formula.
Extra info
Santal is also catalogued as Eau de Santal. Despite its sandalwood-led identity, Floris classifies it as a woody fougère. A separate Santal Intense edition followed in 2024.
