Like their previous thundering success, Dmitry Bortnikoff and Rajesh Balkrishnan combine the finest and rarest absolutes from all over the world to create an incredible red floral dream. The perfume opens with delicious aromatic notes of luscious pink grapefruit, Tahitian vanilla flower and dreamy Indian jasmine sambac. The heart contains the finest Himalayan pink lotus absolute and white Thai lotus infusion. The perfume settles on a powdery bed of red Siam benzoin crystals, exotic Dragon’s Blood incense resin from Yemen and a mixture of Mysore and Indonesian sandalwood. An exercise in perfume creation like no other where Bortnikoff carefully created special infusion extracts of the lotus and jasmine with sandalwood for making this dream scent. Absolutely unique and resplendent like a shimmering ruby with even the perfume description embossed in 24 karat gold on the bottle, Santa Sangre is an infusion of new blood designed to bring peace and happiness in today’s troubled world.
What We Think
A scent that takes you on a spiritual journey and only comes around once in awhile. Soft, delicate, mysterious, with beautiful nuances; A perfume with true originality. Santa Sangre is definitely a fine example of what niche perfumery is all about.
