Drawing inspiration from the old Marlboro ads. A man and his horse in front of the fire on a great plain under tall, blue evening skies - A defining image of the spirit of the American West with all it implied about masculinity and personal freedom. This man, firelight in his face, leaning on the worn leather saddle, alone with the desert wind, an icon so powerful that every man wanted to be him and every woman wanted to have him. From this memory is born Santal 33: the ambition to create an olfactive form inspired by the great American myth still a source of fantasy for the rest of the world. A perfume that touches the sensual universality of this icon - that would intoxicate a man as much as a woman - that introduces a use of cardamom, iris, violet, ambrox which crackle in the formula and bring to this smoking wood alloy (Australian sandalwood, papyrus, cedarwood) some spicy, leathery, musky notes. It gives this perfume a unisex signature and addictive comfort. Santal 33 is an open fire. The soft drift of smoke. Where sensuality rises after the light has gone.
Le Labo hand-blends every fragrance to order in its boutiques, stamps the date and the customer's name on the label and sends them home with something genuinely personal. Santal 33 has become one of the most culturally omnipresent fragrances of the past decade; the broader collection, from Rose 31 to Bergamote 22, rewards those who explore it.
