I love Santal Noir and luckily it’s easy to get in the UK if you live in a big city. It comes in 40Ml, 125Ml and 250Ml from ‘flagship’ stores. I got my 40Ml bottle from Selfridges, Manchester for £80. The smaller bottles are hidden away and you kind of need to ask but they are there for the whole Maison Christian Dior line. The new light florals in this line are aimed at the Chinese market though Santal Noir along with Oud Ispahan and Purple Oud are aimed at the Arabic market. Manchester has large numbers of wealthy Chinese students who shop in Selfridges and Harvey Nichols and it also has significant Arabic visitors perhaps because of Manchester City’s Arabic ownership and sponsorship by Etihad Airways. Selfridges stock Frederic Malle’s ‘The Night’ at £950 for 100Ml for instance! Even the label on that fragrance is in Arabic. There is substantial investment in the city from both groups. Either way the rest of us win with our Maison Christian Dior selection :)

Original formulation Samsara with that Mysore is where my sandalwood love affair started! Vintage Samsara parfum is the gold standard for all sandalwood fragrances. That's probably not fair since the conventional wisdom and aptly so is Mysore is the benchmark, however it's use in perfumery is heavily restricted if not abandoned altogether. Santal Noir is it's own beautiful creation which I'm in love with but the sandalwood in SN does give me the same vibes. Awesome review Sebastian and still as true today as when you produced it a couple years ago! 🌳❤️👃

Great review, as usual. .. I've just bought it from Rinascente in Rome, Italy (it comes in all 4 sizes, 40, 125, 250 and 450ml) and it quickly becomes one of my favorites from the whole collection (including the old ones). The very beginning is reminiscent of Oud Ispahan and the rest of it carries strong similarities with Ambre Nuit. Performance is just perfect, long lasting but not overpowering, perfect for Fall, Winter and early Spring. From the new line, the only ones I own and really like so far are Santal Noir, Balade Sauvage and Purple Oud.

However i agree with you about the new collection it's a lot of light and floral fragrances, not the intense perfumes from the old collection!

Sounds lovely. Sometimes I really don’t care for ambrette though; I find it more sweet/berry-ish in a lot of fragrances, rather than musky. Dior is really starting to get on my nerves with making certain fragrances hard to get, for pretty much no reason. I have Ambre Nuit and when I imagine it with some added sandalwood, I think I’d like it.

I think you might like this but then perhaps not? I'm afraid the fruity touches might be a bit too much? You know since i shot this video a month + ago I have worn a lot of Santal Noir and up to yesterday I couldn't figure out what it reminds me of but I finally did. I think a new video might be due since I know what this is really smelling like. A comparison perhaps with Dalya. I can give a clue it smells like a men's fragrance from a designer that was launched very early 90s. Stay tuned! :)

Dior’s private collection doesn’t excite me. The SA’s at the boutiques are more focused on their leather goods than fragrances. I’m satisfied with my vintage bottles of Miss Dior and Diorissimo. Will you look into the Strangers Parfumerie niche brand? There aren’t many reviews out there and I’m curious about San Clemente. It has some of my favorite notes; leather, rum, smoke, coffee, iris, cherry, rose and more according to fragrantica.

Dear Sebastian, Finally I figured out how to post comments on KZitem. Your channel got me into fragrances and plz allow me to say you are arguably the best fragrance reviewer out there (especially niche frags) with very rich content, respectful to others’ opinions recognizing the subjectivity of the scent perception, bringing awesome guests, and great audio and video quality. Please consider full episodes where you speak of individual notes (like you did with vetiver) and prominent note-dominant perfumes, individual perfumers and their prominent creations, perfume houses history with famous releases, blind reviews with the help of your featured guests (happy to send you a bottle :-), among other ideas that may enrich the scope of this awesome channel. Pardon the imposition; it is your channel to veer, please keep it going.

I gotta admit that the new La Collection lineup (whatever they're called) hasn't really grabbed my attention. In fact, as much as the old lineup interested me (I have Leather Oud, Vetiver, Ambre Nuit, Bois d'Argent, Mitzah, Cuir Cannage, Patchouli Imperiale and Eau Noire) I have almost zero interest in anything in their new private line. Sad, but true! Regardless, perhaps my opinion will change should I ever find the motivation to them. Cheers!

As I did, maybe try a $4.00 sample of Guerlain's Santal Royal--it will likely change your conception of the note of rose. Magical juice, that. Tom Ford's Cafe Rose is also not feminine, to me. I dont know a great deal about fragrance, just a scent dabbler here. I don't care for feminine rose for myself either. For example, Montales Black Oud (that so many fragrance guys seem to like) to my nose smells like loud, girls' rose, nothing else. It's not for me.

Are you sure this hasn't been discontinued? I can't find it on the Dior France site. There's about 10 others shown for Maison Dior. The reviews on Fragrantica make it sound like this is niche strength. I don't know why Dior and every house doesn't sell everything they make direct on their websites. Explain that certain fragrances are just sold in other countries so the order will be on hold until they have enough orders to place a shipment order. Dior sells direct around the world so how hard could it be? There no reason DHI isn't sold on the USA website. What worries me is that DHP is temporarily out of stock on the French website.

With all respect due to a man of your fragrance experience, what happens with us frag heads sometimes (more times than not) we get too used to beast mode niche fragrances and when we smell a more refined and subdued scent, we instantly dislike it or dismiss it as weak. What I find is, with luxury fragrances and the more reputable/high end side of designer-e.g. Clive Christian, Dior, Cartier, etc..- they make scents geared towards ritzy scenarios where subdued works. Beast mode can be viewed as trying too hard versus the cavalier attitude of the rich guy wearing Clive’s “Psychedelic”, for instance...if that makes any sense. Although I’ve never smelled Santal Noire I have smelled a large part of there line (I like Patchouli Imperial!) and as you’re saying: they’re mild. But, IMO: qualitative. Take this from a guy that frequently applies “Tyrannosaurus Rex” by Zoologist.
