Glorious sunsets, black sand beaches, whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches, volcanic cliffs — the Greek island of Santorini is supernaturally beautiful. This namesake fig and sandalwood fragrance conjures its escapist allure with earthy green coconut, luxury orris and sensual musk.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon after the beach, with the heat beginning to ease and conversation drawing closer. Leafy fig keeps the mood bright, while milky coconut and soft musk bring a relaxed sensuality without the sugary character of a tropical cocktail.
How to wear
The green, creamy balance lends itself to spring and summer, especially mild to warm weather. Start with one or two sprays on skin: a restrained application keeps the coconut sweetness measured and lets the softer orris, woods and musk form a subtle backdrop.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to leafy fig fragrances with a creamy underside, rather than sharp citrus or overtly sugary tropical scents. It suits a taste for understated sensuality, soft woods and green fruit, with coconut adding texture rather than dessert-like richness.
Release year
2022–2023
Ampersand’s story
Ampersand puts fragrance before elaborate branding, pairing accessible niche perfumery with restrained design and gender-neutral presentation. The house describes its scents as vegan and cruelty-free, handmade in small batches in the UK, with responsibly sourced ingredients.
Santorini’s concept
Santorini translates its island namesake’s escapist appeal into green fig, coconut and soft woods. The contrast between leafy freshness and creamy warmth carries the concept: a fragrant impression of Mediterranean scenery rather than a literal marine composition.
Extra info
The packaging includes recycled boxes without coated papers and handcrafted caps made from recycled timber. The bottle pictured in the 2024 catalogue lists rhubarb and states 25% parfum, details specific to that documented presentation.
