ORANGE X SANTAL by Natalie Gracia-Cetto
“I imagined a fresh and sensual fragrance where the sparkling and luscious facets of bitter orange from Italy play with a magnificent, soft and creamy Australian sandalwood album. It is the alchemy of lightness and depth, the contrast between theoretical rigor and poetry.”
Radiant and joyful, natural bitter orange and natural sandalwood transport you to the Italian coast. The bright juice of the orange is offset by the aromatic bitterness from its peel, rounded out with green basil from Egypt.

We use natural sandalwood oil harvested by Aboriginal communities in Western Australia, promoting a sustainable supply of the precious ingredient.
OUR STORY
With more than 25 years of experience in the fragrance industry, we founded Essential Parfums with a rebellious spirit and the mission to restore the essence of haute perfumery.
