Santal Journey by Habibi NY is a
unisex woody fragrance launched in 2021. Crafted by master perfumer Marion Costero, it is designed as a fresh, sophisticated twist on classic Eastern sandalwood, blending cool spices with creamy woods.
Fragrance Profile & Notes
The perfume offers a 20% perfume oil concentration, giving it a long-lasting wear time of over 6 hours. It transitions through three distinct phases:
-
Top Notes: Fresh cardamom, lush violet, and crisp pear provide a cool, slightly sweet, and spicy opening.
-
Heart Notes: Cedarwood, transparent florals, and earthy orris root settle into a suave, adventurous core.
-
Base Notes: Rich sandalwood, warm amber, and smoky agarwood (oud) deliver a deep, luxurious finish.
Best Wear & Versatility
-
Occasions: It excels as a scent for romantic date nights, professional business meetings, and formal celebrations.
-
Vibe: Reviewers describe it as bright and clean initially—reminiscent of an expensive, high-end body wash—before it matures into a smooth, creamy wood profile.
-
Seasonality: While it carries deep base notes of oud and amber, its fresh pear and violet top notes make it versatile enough for warmer weather and all-season wear.
