Perfumer: Julien Rasquinet
Sparkling in it’s pure simplicity, evoking the sweet blonde texture of fresh sandalwood shavings and champagne. Sharp and generous rose tones that project confidently. Woody facets are sprinkled with frankincense and sweetened with the bright fruity nuances of red berries.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The first toast has been poured, and conversation starts to loosen. SANTAL matches that rising energy: champagne-like brightness and red fruit carry above the warm sandalwood, while rose gives the wearer a confident presence across the table rather than a scent reserved for close proximity.
How to wear
Try it in mild or cooler weather, when the sweet sandalwood can feel generous without becoming overly rich. Start with one or two sprays on skin: the assertive rose and fruity brightness call for restraint indoors. In warmth, apply more lightly and let the woody texture settle before adding more.
Who it’s for
For lovers of sandalwood who want brightness and projection rather than a quiet, meditative wood scent. It suits a taste for sweet fruit, expressive rose and champagne-like sparkle, with frankincense adding an edge to the polished woody foundation.

The nose
Julien Rasquinet trained under Pierre Bourdon and is known for compositions that combine expressive materials with carefully shaped contrasts. His work includes Royal Oud for Creed and The Moon for Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle. In SANTAL, he sets sandalwood’s soft, sweet texture against sparkling fruit and an assertive rose accord.
Headspace’s story
HEADSPACE translates fleeting sensory experiences into fragrance, combining signature natural materials with reconstructed scent impressions captured through headspace analysis. Founded by Nicolas Chabot, the house treats science and imagination as complementary tools, embracing both natural and synthetic perfumery.
SANTAL’s concept
Part of HEADSPACE’s inaugural seven-fragrance collection, SANTAL pairs its signature sandalwood with the captured scent impression of vintage rosé champagne. The idea is celebratory rather than contemplative: pale wood shavings, bright fruit and generous rose evoke champagne’s buoyancy without losing the substance of a woody perfume.
Extra info
Vintage rosé champagne is SANTAL’s designated headspace inspiration, listed separately from its fragrance notes. Its bottle, designed by Jules Dinand for the house, references perfumers’ working vials through a minimalist paper label and black Bakelite cap.
