Creamy sandalwood with coconut and lemon
Santal Complet is the house's tribute to sandalwood, composed in 2016 by François Merle-Baudoin as a soft, creamy and relaxed perfume. Lemon and coconut give the opening a holiday feel, violet and black pepper add warmth in the heart, and the base settles on musk, sandalwood, amber and vanilla.

How it unfolds
-
Lemon and coconut
Lemon is quick and clean, coconut soft and a little milky, and together they give the opening the easy, sunlit feel the brand calls summery. Nothing in the top is sharp; the citrus simply brightens the coconut so that it does not turn heavy.
-
Violet, pepper and warmth
Violet adds a powdery, slightly cool softness, and black pepper gives it a dry, warm backbone. This is where the perfume turns from holiday to something calmer, with the pepper keeping the creamy notes from going flat or too sweet.
-
Sandalwood at the centre
Sandalwood, musk, amber and vanilla form a soft, creamy base in which the wood is smooth rather than dry. Amber adds warmth and vanilla a gentle sweetness. The brand says the perfume suits every season, and this warm base is what carries it into the cooler months.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Easy to wear
Two or three sprays on skin are plenty for a Parfum; the creamy base spreads softly instead of pushing outward. It works as an everyday scent, at the office, at weekends or on holiday, and it is warm enough to carry into an evening.
Who it is for
Unisex, and for people who like sandalwood and vanilla but want them light and creamy rather than dense and smoky. A good choice if you look for a calm, wearable scent for every day, with no sharp edges.
Why choose Fragrance Du Bois Santal Complet
A tribute to sandalwood by François Merle-Baudoin, with coconut and lemon on one side and amber, musk and vanilla on the other. It stays soft and relaxed from start to finish, and comes in the faceted bottle with a crystal-studded cap and a velvet-lined gift box.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Santal Complet a sandalwood perfume?
Yes, the brand presents it as a tribute to sandalwood, but a creamy one: coconut, vanilla and musk soften the wood, while lemon and violet lighten it.
Can I wear it in winter?
The brand says it suits every season despite its summery feel. The warm base of sandalwood, amber and vanilla is what lets it work in colder months.
Which concentration and size is it?
It is a Parfum in a 100 ml bottle. A Parfum is a concentrated format, so a couple of sprays are a good place to start.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
