Nature becomes Art as the strength of sandalwood is enveloped in tender rose petals. Between bark and blossom, a score of contrasts is underpinned by a refreshing, spicy overture played by cardamom and a darker base of agarwood and notes of myrrh.
Santal Pao Rosa borrows its name from Guerlain’s heritage, with Pao Rosa being the name of a fragrance composed by Aimé Guerlain in 1877 and evoking an encounter between wood and rose.
THE FRAGRANCE ARTIST’S TOUCH
Powerful, sacred sandalwood is enveloped in rose.
"If it were a sculpture, a wooden work by Giuseppe Penone."
SANDALWOOD
Harvested mainly in Australia and distilled on site, sandalwood is distinguished by its woody, creamy note. The tree takes fifteen years to reach the required maturity to yield its essence.
In Santal Pao Rosa, the woody note of sandalwood is underpinned by fig and hazelnut tones.
A beloved ingredient among Guerlain Perfumers, sandalwood lights up numerous House masterpieces with its woody-milky note.
