What It Does: Nature becomes art as the strength of sandalwood is enveloped in tender rose petals. Between bark and blossom lies a refreshing, spicy undertone infused with cardamon and deeper notes of agarwood and myrrh.
Santal Pao Rosa is a name buried deep in Guerlain’s heritage, with Pao Rosa being the name given to a fragrance by Aime Guerlain, created in 1877, and evoking the unique encounter between wood and rose.
With Santal Pao Rosa, sandalwood essence is bottled in excess. This creative endeavor evokes the art of Giuseppe Penone, who led the Arte Povera movement. His work takes the form of installations and sculptures comprising scented and organic woods.
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.
