Santal du Pacifique Extrait

The notes given here are not precise enough. According to the official Perris Monte Carlo web site, the exact ones are: -Head: Carrot -Heart: Creamy notes, Orchid, Violet, Gurjun Balsam -Base: Pacific Sandalwood, Dry Woods, Musk The sandalwood is the obvious main note which goes from top to bottom. A delicious, creamy sandalwood. The Carrot note is subtle but clearly noticeable at the beginning and makes the sandalwood "livelier". Unfortunately, it doesn't last for too long. I like it, it is an uncommon note and here it is blended very well, I wish it would last longer... Then the Orchid + Violet are clearly perceived as the "floral notes" indicated here. I'm not sure what exactly is the "Creamy note" made of, but it is certainly very noticeable, enveloping the sandalwood for hours during the evolution of the scent. Thus the creamy sandalwood which I wrote about earlier. Unfortunately, I don't know Gurjun balsam and I don't know what it smells like. But I can smell a very subtle balsamic scent in the back. It could be that, but I'm not sure. The dry woods are spelled as "fry woods" in the PMC web page, which is most probably a mistake! The scent is very woody, so I suppose that they were added to empower and make the already woody scent of the sandalwood more "woody" (if that makes any sense). The exact type of wood is not specified, so I suppose it must be some aromachemical with a woody odour profile (maybe Timbersilk?). The musk (probably the white one, since I cannot detect any animalic vibe) is also clearly there at the base, rounding it all and making the woody notes last longer. The good: a very fine perfume extract, very concentrated, lasts 10 to 12h on skin and much more in clothes. I love the creamy sandalwood + florals + woody/musky composition, it's pretty nice. I've already got some compliments on my first day wearing it. The bad: it does not project a lot, maybe heavy with 2m at the beginning and later moderate at an arm length for several hours, but after that, maybe 6h, the sillage reduces quickly until it becomes a personal scent (between soft and moderate). This can be good for someone, but I would prefer it to be beast-mode. The ugly: the price! I understand that it is an "Extrait the Parfum", but IMHO it's just too expensive...

On initial spray, for the first few seconds, I thought yeah, another sandalwood. But, wow, all sandalwoods are not created equal, and this quickly shows it’s on another level to everything else. Yes it has the characteristic sandalwood smell. But it is sweet, and smooth, and has no harsh edges at all. There is a floral sharpness, but absolutely no hint of pickle. In the smells like section I think this is much sweeter and more floral than Sacred Wood or Santal 33, and the dry down is maybe most like Santal Blush, but I’ll have to compare them directly another day. It’s definitely more sandalwood than floral.

I bought this recently and I'm liking it a lot. Great longevity 12+ hrs with just one squirt on each wrist. Sillage is pretty good too without being overbearing as some sandalwoods can have the cloying sweet quality projected in the sillage. The sandalwood in this scent is the Australian, the oldest sandalwood around, and unlike the Indian/South Asian kind is not as sweet. Hence the name - Pacific Sandalwood. For me it sits right on the fence between masculine and feminine, one twitch and it could easily have flipped either side. A happy scent, I think it will be around in my mix.

The most expensive blind buy for me, lol. I was noseblind to it at the first spray. But the scent started to show after a while. It is a very subtle sandal, with a touch of floral and astringent (not sour). An intimate scent but quite beautiful. On subway a girl leaned very close to me even though there's quite lot of space around. I don't know if she's enjoying the scent. I was. I don't know if I'd like to promote this to others, but I'm very happy with my bottle.

There's actually aquatic notes added to the Extrait (coincide with its name "du Pacifique"), and to my surprise, it upgrades the already "pretty good" original to "Nice! This is quite good and different!" The aquatic vibe here is a comfortable sea-breeze similar to Epice Marine (Hermessence) as opposed to the bitter mossy mess in men's colognes. Definitely one of the better dry/refreshing & natural sandalwood fragrances out there. Best of the line in my opinion!

My favourite summer fragrance, this is sandalwood in it's purest form, pure is best word to describe this fragrance. Green floral notes that are in no way feminine livens up this fragrance and makes it modern. 10/10 The best Sandalwood fragrance ever made ★★★★★

It is a very nicely blended green, fresh, and powdery sandalwood. Good for all year round. Sits very close to skin. However, with this price tag, I definitely expect more sillage and projection. Very over-priced in my opinion.

Come on people let's get serious, please don't review this one, we're all trying to gatekeep it.

I LOVE this perfume ❤️❤️ It’s a perfect creamy sandalwood that lasts all day

Creamy sandalwood. Sweet cooked carrots. Floral with a hint of musk. Coconut. Serene. Santal du Pacifique, along with the 3 other extraits I've sampled from Perris Monte Carlo, is beautifully blended. This is why I need to stop sampling fragrances I can't afford in bottle. It's such a tease.

Nothing to do with S33! To me, it's a bubblegum-y sandalwood. Yes, it is floral, but for some reason, the mixture of flowers and sweet, creamy sandalwood gives this bubblegum-y smell(!) It's OK, but definitely not buying it. There are better sandalwood perfumes out there, especially when taking the steep price into consideration.

Santal du Pacifique Extrait - Perris Monte Carlo: A Serenade to the Sacred Sandalwood Santal du Pacifique Extrait de Perris Monte Carlo is a profound and soulful ode to the revered sandalwood. This extrait de parfum intensifies the original Eau de Parfum, transforming it into a richer, more intimate experience. It is a fragrance that whispers of serene forests, soft earth, and the timeless mystique of an ancient, sacred ingredient. If the Eau de Parfum is a soft melody, the extrait is a symphony—a deeper, richer, and more resonant exploration of sandalwood’s complexity. A Journey Through the Fragrance Opening: The extrait opens with a soft, creamy warmth, enveloping the senses like a silken veil. The notes of sandalwood are immediately present, rich and velvety, intertwined with subtle spices that lend a gentle, glowing heat. Unlike the Eau de Parfum, which introduces a more diffuse and airy impression of sandalwood, the extrait begins with a direct, almost tactile intensity. It feels denser, as though you are walking through a sunlit forest, the trees exhaling their sacred, resinous breath. Heart: As the scent settles, the heart reveals its true beauty. The sandalwood deepens, infused with milky, buttery nuances that feel almost edible. There is a whisper of floral notes—subtle, like a breeze carrying the distant scent of blooming flowers—but they never distract from the wood’s central role. The extrait introduces a richer layer of sweetness compared to the Eau de Parfum, as though the sandalwood has been warmed by the sun and blended with a touch of creamy vanilla. Base: The dry-down is where Santal du Pacifique Extrait truly shines. The wood becomes earthier and more grounded, with faint touches of amber and resins adding depth and complexity. The extrait feels more meditative and introspective here, lingering on the skin like a second layer. Unlike the Eau de Parfum, which fades into a lighter, more powdery finish, the extrait holds close, offering hours of creamy, smoky, and woodsy elegance. Differences Between Eau de Parfum and Extrait • Intensity: The extrait is richer, more concentrated, and longer-lasting than the Eau de Parfum. It feels denser, like a velvet cloak compared to the lighter silk of the original. • Projection: The extrait is more intimate, creating a closer scent bubble, while the Eau de Parfum has a more diffused and airy projection. • Complexity: The extrait emphasizes the creamy, resinous facets of sandalwood, while the Eau de Parfum has a fresher, more ethereal quality. • Longevity: The extrait lasts 10–12 hours on the skin, with a steady and luxurious evolution, compared to the Eau de Parfum’s 6–8 hours. Temperature and Season Ideal Temperature: • Best worn in cooler climates (10°C to 20°C) where its creamy warmth and richness can envelop without becoming overwhelming. • In warmer weather, its density might feel too heavy, but it could work in air-conditioned environments or during summer nights. Ideal Seasons: • Autumn and Winter: The extrait thrives in the crisp air of fall and the chill of winter, creating a cocoon of warmth and comfort. Occasions for Use • Formal Events: Perfect for elegant dinners, art exhibitions, or concerts, where its depth and sophistication can shine. • Introspective Moments: Ideal for personal reflection, meditation, or quiet evenings at home, as its meditative quality enhances tranquility. • Romantic Settings: Its creamy, intimate sillage makes it a beautiful choice for dates or evenings spent with a loved one. What It Transmits Santal du Pacifique Extrait speaks of calmness, refinement, and grounded elegance. It tells a story of someone who values quality and timeless beauty, someone who finds luxury in simplicity. To those around you, it will feel inviting, sophisticated, and deeply comforting—like the quiet confidence of a person who doesn’t need to raise their voice to be heard. Final Thoughts Santal du Pacifique Extrait is a masterpiece of sandalwood, elevating the already exquisite Eau de Parfum to a richer, more intimate level. It’s a fragrance for those who appreciate subtle complexity and the timeless allure of wood scents. Whether worn for introspection or to make a quiet yet profound statement, this extrait offers a journey through the soul of sandalwood—soft, creamy, and deeply rooted in elegance. If you already enjoy the Eau de Parfum, the extrait is not just an upgrade; it’s a transformation, offering a deeper dive into the sacred warmth of sandalwood. For cooler days and serene nights, it’s a perfect companion that wraps you in its timeless embrace.

Practically the same as the EDP, but the notes are more distinct and the Sandalwood creamier. The longevity is not bad (actually insane 12+ hours), but still the scent sits very close to the skin. Santal du Pacifique needs definitely a warm weather in order to shine. The retail price (275€ for 50ml) is a pure blasphemy! If you like Sandalwood I would suggest you to try Islamabad by Al Faransi.
