by Fragonard
Santal Cardamome by Fragonard is a clean, aromatic, and balanced woody-spicy fragrance with a subtle, menthol-like freshness at the opening. It unfolds with cardamom, pepper, and red berries, set against a nuanced base of sandalwood, benzoin, and musk, creating a warm yet transparent scent that feels both refined and unisex. The aroma is characterized by its linear evolution—spices and wood remain consistent without heavy floral or gourmand embellishments. It is particularly appreciated for its elegant simplicity, clean projection, and ability to be worn across seasons, with some users noting it lingers best in cool weather or during autumn and spring. The longevity is moderate, and the sillage is moderate to intimate, with most users agreeing it wears close to the skin and does not project strongly beyond arm's length.
