Santal Odeyar by Chopard Reviews & Perfume Facts

Chopard is bringing new additions to its Gardens fragrance collection. Three new fragrances, Bois Nomades, Patchouli de Sumatra and Santal Odeyar. All three have joined Chopard with wood themes. The f ... ocus of the new trio, developed by perfumers Alberto Morillas and Dora Baghriche, is on ethical sourcing and sustainability.

These fragrances are in line with Chopard’s sustainability ethos, which began in 2013. By choosing to source responsibly, the house realized that true luxury should be ethical and responsible.

For the co-president and artistic director of the brand, Caroline Scheufele, a perfume is personal, it allows you to express your personality. She is the muse behind the new fragrances: Santal Odeyar, Bois Nomades and Patchouli de Sumatra. “They are the embodiment of a vision, that of Caroline Scheufele. This vision is not projected on a white screen, but on the skin, on a cashmere sweater, in the hair or in the air around us, and everyone can tell the story in their own way,”

"I decided to work with perfumers I knew – Alberto Morillas and Dora Baghriche – because, just like in my jewelry studio, I surround myself with people who are dear to me," Scheufele explains. Master perfumer Alberto Morillas wanted to create a garden that looked like a thousand and one nights. Morillas also created Bois Nomads.

In an emerald green bottle is Santal Odeyar in its woody essence, but floral and fruity from the first spray. Because sandalwood became an endangered species in India, it was transferred to Australia in the 1990s. Its top notes of bergamot from Calabria and mandarin orange, both from Italy, and pear and of mango offer a unique hit to the nose. Orange Blossom from Tunisia and Morocco, Jasmine Grandiflorum Infusion from Egypt, Jasmine Sambac from India and Damask Rose from Turkey form the heart of the fragrance. Dry down notes include white sandalwood from Australia, cistus absolute from Spain and benzoin gum from Siam.
