Guerlain commits to the bee, sentinel of the environment

A powerful, floral interpretation of sandalwood

Nature becomes Art as the strength of sandalwood is enveloped in tender rose petals. Between bark and blossom, a score of contrasts is underpinned by a refreshing, spicy overture played by cardamom and a darker base of agarwood and notes of myrrh.

Santal Pao Rosa borrows its name from Guerlain’s heritage, with Pao Rosa being the name of a fragrance composed by Aimé Guerlain in 1877 and evoking an encounter between wood and rose.

The fragrance artist’s touch

Powerful, sacred sandalwood is enveloped in rose.

"If it were a sculpture, a wooden work by Giuseppe Penone."

With Santal Pao Rosa, sandalwood essence is bottled in excess. This creative endeavour 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.

Sandalwood

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.

In the Perfumer’s words

“Sandalwood can sometimes take on a rosy pink hue. Santal Pao Rosa is both woody strength and floral grace. It is like a sacred love.”

Delphine Jelk,
Guerlain Perfume Creation Director & Perfumer
