Creamy sandalwood, coconut and lemon
Santal Complet is a Parfum from Fragrance Du Bois, composed in 2016 by François Merle-Baudoin as the house's tribute to sandalwood. Lemon and coconut give the start a holiday feel, violet and black pepper add warmth, and the base settles on musk, sandalwood, amber and vanilla. Creamy woods vary a lot with skin, so a sample is a smart first step.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Lemon and coconut
Lemon is quick and clean, coconut soft and a little milky. Together they give the start the easy, sunlit feel the brand calls summery. Nothing sharp here: the citrus just brightens the coconut. Use the decant to check whether you enjoy coconut in a woody perfume at all.
-
Violet and black pepper
Violet adds a powdery, cool softness and black pepper a dry, warm backbone. This is where the scent moves from holiday to something calmer, and where the pepper keeps the creamy notes from turning flat. It is a short stage, so notice it on the first day.
-
A creamy sandalwood core
Sandalwood, musk, amber and vanilla form the base, with the wood smooth rather than dry. Amber brings warmth and vanilla a gentle sweetness. The brand says the perfume suits every season, and a decant lets you test that claim in both warm and cold weather.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Put the decant on bare skin on a calm day, and notice the first few minutes separately from what follows. Wear it once in summer-type weather and once on a cool autumn day, since the brand says it suits every season. Keep it light, because a Parfum is concentrated and the creamy base spreads softly.
Who it is for
Unisex, and for people who like sandalwood and vanilla but want them light and creamy instead of dense and smoky. Santal Complet is for those who look for a calm, wearable scent for everyday use. If you expect a dry, austere wood, the coconut and vanilla could surprise you, and a sample shows that early.
Why try Fragrance Du Bois Santal Complet as a sample first
Santal Complet is about sandalwood, but the coconut, lemon and vanilla around it change the picture, so the name alone does not tell you what you will get. As a Parfum in a 100 ml bottle it is a big commitment. Wearing a 10 ml decant filled from the original bottle lets you check the balance first.

Frequently asked
What exactly is in the vial?
Santal Complet Parfum, filled by FragranceGems from the original 100 ml bottle into a 10 ml glass spray vial and labelled by us. It is not from Fragrance Du Bois, and we are not affiliated with the brand.
Is it a pure sandalwood scent?
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. A decant shows how much wood you actually perceive.
Can I test it in winter?
Yes. The brand says it suits every season despite its summery feel, and the warm base of sandalwood, amber and vanilla is what lets it work in colder months. Wear the decant on a cold day to see.
How many wearings does 10 ml give?
Many. You can try Santal Complet at the office, at the weekend and on a trip before deciding, which is the point of a decant: plenty of time with it, no need to buy a whole bottle first.
The brand
About Fragrance Du Bois
Fragrance Du Bois, from Paris, works under the motto 'Born in Nature, Crafted in France': the perfumes are composed in Paris, produced in Grasse, and most of them are sold as Parfum, the richest concentration. Oud the brand calls responsibly sourced runs through the Intense line, but the range also holds a cherry, a coffee-and-caramel gourmand and a creamy sandalwood. Dense perfumes like these deserve a 10 ml decant first; a few wearings tell you more than a shop visit.
- Paris house whose motto reads 'Born in Nature, Crafted in France'
- The brand states its perfumes are composed in Paris and made in Grasse
- Every perfume is signed by its own master perfumer, named on the brand's site

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
