A luminous take on sandalwood that feels at once airy and addictive, Santal Volcanique opens with a bracing splash of ginger and limette that crackles like cool air over warm rock, then eases into a creamy yet mineral wood accord where sandalwood and cedar mingle with a whisper of ylang ylang before settling into a soft trail of coffee and musks that feels clean, modern, and quietly sensual.

Story and Positioning
Inspired by the founder’s memory of smelling scorched sandalwood on volcanic slopes, this scent contrasts bright spicy freshness with an addictive wood and coffee duet for a polished everyday signature. It occupies a refined woody aromatic space that can appeal to fans of clean sandalwood styles while adding a lively coffee sparkle. If you enjoy the crisp woods and spice vibe associated with classics like Gucci Envy or the woods and spice profile referenced by retailers for vintage-leaning fougère styles, Santal Volcanique offers a contemporary and gender free twist. Within Maison Crivelli’s collection, it stands as one of the brand’s foundational releases that set the house code of sensory adventures and surprising contrasts.
Bottle and Design
Presented in Maison Crivelli’s sleek, clear glass flacon with a thick base and a clean white label, the bottle feels modern and tactile in the hand. The cap is cast in Zamac with an unpolished finish and the Maison monogram stamped on top, so each cap shows subtle variations that add character. The brand highlights thoughtful presentation with gift-ready boxing. Select retailers note that the glass is produced in France and Spain.
