SANTOS - CARTIER

Santos (Cartier) / Archives Gilbert Bendoni
🗓 Launch Year: 1981
🧪 Concentration: Eau de Toilette (EDT)
🔬 Olfactive Family: Oriental Woody
👃 Perfumer: Daniel Molière

An audacious masculine fragrance from the early '80s, Santos is a masterclass in density and refinement. Built around a powerful axis of Vertofix, Patchouli, and Cedryl Acetate, this formula is an architectural interplay of spice, moss, and polished woods.

The radiant volatility of Bergamot, Lemon, and Lime Distilled opens the composition with classical freshness, while Sandalore, Lilial, and Methylionone Alpha weave a silky, floral-woody heart, almost suede-like in texture. The smoky resinous base—enriched by Benzoin, Oakmoss, and Castoreum—grounds the scent with confident sensuality.
