Perfumer: Mathieu Nardin
Perris are fascinated by nature’s fragrant treasures and make perfume materials THE story of each of their perfume. So much so that they experiment with the same perfume material in different perfume architectures: eau de parfum and in extait.
How does this work?
The EdP version of Santal du Pacifique smells drier and woodier. The perfumer added more dusty sharp carrot seeds and shifted the focus to the lighter top layer.
The extrait option is creamier (softer) and somehow has a stronger floral presence with an echo of leathery violets or some fantasy black orchids.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is sandalwood for close conversation: soft warmth against a plain cotton shirt, with violet lending a faintly leathery edge. Its creamy texture suggests an unhurried presence—sensual without turning the encounter theatrical.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on the chest or forearms, allowing the creamy wood and floral shading to settle before adding more. Mild to cool weather suits its warm texture; in summer heat, use a lighter application to keep the sandalwood softness from feeling too enveloping.
Who it’s for
For sandalwood lovers who prefer creaminess to dry, sharp woods, and for those drawn to violet’s softly leathery character. It suits a taste for restrained sensuality and material-focused perfumes, with floral nuance rather than overt sweetness.

The nose
Mathieu Nardin is a Robertet perfumer whose work combines an affinity for natural materials with contemporary clarity and texture. His compositions often explore the nuances of familiar ingredients rather than overwhelming them. In Santal du Pacifique Extrait, sandalwood takes on a softer, creamier presence, with floral shading that distinguishes it from the drier Eau de Parfum.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo makes exceptional raw materials the subject of its perfumes. Guided by Gian Luca Perris, the house combines traditional perfumery craftsmanship with modern extraction techniques, defining luxury through ingredient quality. Its Extraits revisit these material-focused compositions to reveal richer textures and subtler facets.
Santal du Pacifique Extrait’s concept
Santal du Pacifique explores sandalwood and its Pacific provenance. The Extrait brings the material into a warm, smooth composition, with natural irone enriching its floral dimension. Conceived alongside the Eau de Parfum rather than as a later flanker, it offers a creamier interpretation of the same central ingredient.
Extra info
The Extrait’s official description specifically highlights natural irone, an aromatic material associated with iris character. It is a distinctive detail of this version, whose composition should not be confused with the Eau de Parfum’s fuller published note pyramid.
