Perfumer: Mathieu Nardin
Creamy rich sandalwood with a hint of smoke and a lot of ambery vibes.
Also available as an extrait. The EdP version smells drier and woodier (there is more focus on carrot seeds in the opening). The extrait option is smoother and somehow has a stronger violet flowers presence.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon at a wooden desk, with the room quiet enough to notice small details. The dry carrot-seed opening and creamy sandalwood suit a composed, inward-looking presence; violet softens the edges without making the mood overtly floral or romantic.
How to wear
Try it in mild weather or cooler months, when the creamy wood and amber warmth can feel enveloping without becoming too dense. Start with one or two sprays on the upper body; a restrained application keeps the focus on the contrast between the dry opening and softer sandalwood. Apply more lightly in heat.
Who it’s for
For those who favour sandalwood with a dry, earthy edge rather than pronounced sweetness. It suits an appetite for creamy woods, subtle violet and a hint of smoke, especially when floral notes are preferred as texture rather than the main event.

The nose
Mathieu Nardin is a Grasse-born perfumer from a perfume-making family, working with Robertet. His approach combines a grounding in natural materials with contemporary clarity and texture. In Santal du Pacifique, he frames creamy sandalwood with earthy carrot seed and delicate floral nuances, keeping the wood central rather than turning it into a heavily sweet composition.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo places raw materials and perfume-making knowledge at the centre of its identity. Its approach combines travel, traditional craftsmanship and modern extraction techniques, favouring the substance of a fragrance over decorative spectacle. The Black Collection explores precious ingredients through contemporary compositions.
Santal du Pacifique’s concept
Santal du Pacifique draws on a journey between Asia and Oceania in search of sandalwood. Its warm, velvety wood and softened floral edges evoke the contemplative atmosphere of sandalwood incense used in Hindu and Buddhist ceremonies. Within the Black Collection, it presents this material through a restrained, contemporary woody composition.
Extra info
The Extrait is not presented simply as a stronger version: its description specifically highlights natural irone, while the Eau de Parfum gives greater emphasis to the dry, woody carrot-seed opening. The fragrance’s name refers to its Pacific sandalwood inspiration.
