by Dries Van Noten
Santal Greenery by Dries Van Noten is a fresh, green-tinged citrus-sandalwood fragrance that opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and grapefruit, quickly evolving into a soft, creamy fig nuance enhanced by violet leaf and a delicate ozonic freshness. The heart is dominated by a watery, green fig presence that feels natural and restrained, while the base settles into a smooth, powdery sandalwood and white musk blend that gives the scent its supple, creamy drydown. The overall impression is one of simplicity and balance — a well-executed, accessible interpretation of familiar themes found in fragrances like Philosykos and Santal 33. It's light, bright, and most at home in spring and summer, delivering moderate sillage and longevity that works well for daytime wear.
