Perfumer: Sidonie Lancesseur
A clean versatile formula with stunning ingredients mixed for you by Marie Jeanne.
Vetiver Santal is a novel fresh sandalwood (coming from an archipelago at the edge of the world), dry vetiver from Haiti and a spark of benzoin from Siam.
Marie Jeanne is a new perfume house from Grasse, founded by a young perfumer from a family connected to Robertet for several generations.
Robertet is a bit like De Beers of the fine natural perfume materials - matières premières, for decades they have been dealing with the finest, purest and most precious stuff a perfumer can dream of.
In Vetiver Santal you can admire and enjoy aromas of a rare variety of sandalwood from New Caledonia, vetiver from Haiti, patchouli from Indonesia and benzoin from Siam among other exquisite materials.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A freshly pressed cotton shirt, a wooden worktable, an afternoon spent in close conversation. The citrus opening brings alertness, while dry vetiver and milky sandalwood suggest a composed, tactile presence—quietly warm rather than dressed for ceremony.
How to wear
A natural fit for mild spring and autumn weather, when the citrus lift and woody warmth can sit in balance. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms for close-contact wear. In warmer conditions, keep application light; let the opening settle before deciding whether to add more.
Who it’s for
For those who favor dry woods over sugary richness and want freshness with texture rather than a purely citrus scent. Particularly appealing to lovers of vetiver, soft sandalwood and understated compositions in which the materials remain recognizable.
Release year
2019 (or 2020)
The nose
Sidonie Lancesseur is known for contemporary compositions that give distinctive materials room to express themselves. Her work includes Kilian’s Straight to Heaven and Good Girl Gone Bad, demonstrating a range from textured woods to expansive florals. Her affinity for vetiver and patchouli finds a natural expression in Vétiver Santal’s restrained, material-led construction.
Marie Jeanne’s story
Founded in Grasse by Georges Maubert, Marie Jeanne draws on his family’s multigenerational connection to Robertet and its expertise in natural aromatic materials. The house favors simplified formulas that preserve the recognizable character of ingredients, with provenance central to its identity. Laboratory-inspired green glass and restrained packaging extend that practical, material-first approach.
Vetiver Santal’s concept
Vétiver Santal marked Marie Jeanne’s move from its earlier colognes, Marcel and Marcelle, into Eau de Parfum. Its concept rests on contrasting woody textures: the hazelnut-like facets of vetiver, milky sandalwood, earthy patchouli and sweet benzoin, lifted by citrus. Haitian vetiver and New Caledonian sandalwood give the composition a distinctly provenance-led identity.
Extra info
The hazelnut impression mentioned in the fragrance’s description is a facet of vetiver, not a separately listed note. Its official pyramid also identifies the origins of several materials, including New Caledonian sandalwood, Haitian vetiver, Indonesian patchouli and Siam benzoin.
Celebrity connection
Japanese designer and model Kikuno said she used Vétiver Santal in JUN ONLINE’s July 22, 2022 KIKUNO’S EYE feature. She praised its slight sweetness, elegance and depth, and suggested sharing it with a partner.
