8 Best Sana Jardin Perfumes Reviewed
I have tried & tested every fragrance from the brands’ discovery set and have complied my take on the best Sana Jardin perfumes to experience. Let’s dive in.
1. Sana Jardin Sandalwood Temple Eau de Parfum
Review
Sandalwood Temple Eau de Parfum was launched in 2017 and is a comforting woody vanilla scent that represents the sacred sanctuary and escapism of East Indian temples.
This beautiful blend unfolds with the sparkling note of citrus bergamot, orange blossom and sweet neroli oils. It is soon cocooned by the warming heart of cedarwood, adding depth and resinous freshness to the scent.
In the dry down, this perfume is enriched further by an exotic accord of sandalwood and the sweet spiciness of guaiac wood. Sensual vanilla and smoky vetiver finalise the composition, settling down to a pleasingly creamy, sandalwood vanilla scent that is oh so soft and soothing.
Top Notes:
Bergamot, Neroli, Orange Blossom
Mid Notes:
Cedarwood
Base Notes:
Guaiacwood, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Vetiver
Seasons & Longevity
In my opinion, Sandalwood Temple Eau de Parfum is more of a daytime scent that is casual and suitable for any season.
The fragrance projects arm’s length and will stay on the skin for around 4+ hours before turning into a skin scent. Consider layering with Sana Jardin Jaipur Chant to add an exotic richness and depth.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | A minimalistic, pleasant sandalwood scent Relaxing & calming |
| Cons | Moderate sillage and projection |
2. Sana Jardin Tiger By Her Side Eau de Parfum
Review
Tiger By Her Side Eau de Parfum is an exotic floral fragrance inspired by the ancient priestesses of Egypt. It symbolises feminine strength and delivers a captivating bouquet of faraway aromas.
Zesty bergamot and the sweet spices of cinnamon and coriander seeds create a stunning opening. Moroccan rose in the heart blends with resinous benzoin, senna and patchouli.
Labdanum and incense continue the resinous line in the base and are joined by a creamy vanilla pod note. Dries to a warm spicy scent with the hints of rose that is very similar to Chanel Coromandel.
Top Notes:
Bergamot, Cinnamon Bark, Coriander Seed
Mid Notes:
Rose Absolute, Siam Benzoin, Patchouli
Base Notes:
Labdanum, Vanilla, Incense
Seasons & Longevity
Tiger By Her Side is definitely a cold season fragrance, perfect for those mysteriously dark nights out. Also consider pairing it with Berber Blonde to add a splash of orange sparkle.
You can expect a decent 6+ hour of wear with silage and projection strong enough to get you noticed without being disruptive.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Captivating bouquet of exotic notes Comforting & mysterious evening scent |
| Cons | Lacks of resinous depth |
3. Sana Jardin Berber Blonde Eau de Parfum
Review
Berber Blonde Eau de Parfum is pure warmth and sunshine in a bottle that immediately transports me back to the summer countryside. Brace yourself for a joyous orchard of Moroccan orange trees!
This white floral citrus fragrance begins with a bitter juice of orange and petitgrain, accompanied by zesty bergamot tart. Neroli oil in the heart deepens the composition, with orange blossom essence delivering its sweet floral note.
The musk accord in the base somewhat softens and rounds out the harshness of neroli, providing a sense of cleanness. Settles down to an uplifting mix of heady white florals, musk and the hints of petitgrain.
Top Notes:
Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Petitgrain
Mid Notes:
Neroli, Orange Blossom
Base Notes:
Musk
Seasons & Longevity
Berber Blonde Eau de Parfum is absolutely ideal for wearing on warm spring and summer days to put a spring in your step.
It has moderate sillage/projection with 4+ hours of longevity. You should also consider Tom Ford Neroli Portofino for a similar scent that lasts longer.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Gorgeous orange scent Warming & harmonious |
| Cons | Slightly bitter |
4. Sana Jardin Jaipur Chant Eau de Parfum
Review
Jaipur Chant Eau de Parfum was launched in 2019. It is a vibrant white floral fragrance with a vintage feel to it with a somewhat contemporary twist.
A beautiful bouquet unfolds with the refreshing aroma of citruses spiced with a dash of clove leaf oil. White florals of tuberose, narcissus and jasmine soon make their grand entrance.
The musk in the base smoothes and softens, delivering a fresh yet creamy scent. Settles to a well-balanced bouquet of white florals accompanied by a lemony edge. Also consider Frederic Malle Carnal Flower.
Top Notes:
Italian Lemon, Lemon Blossom, Clove Leaf Oil
Mid Notes:
Tuberose Absolute, Jasmine Absolute, Narcisse Absolute
Base Notes:
Musk
Seasons & Longevity
Jaipur Chant Eau de Parfum is perfectly blended for spring and summer wear, suitable for any time of day.
It features pretty strong projection and sillage lasting on the skin for 6+ hours. To enhance its exotic powers, consider pairing this fragrance with Sandalwood Temple.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Perfectly balanced, beautiful summer fragrance Harmonious tuberose scent |
| Cons | After few hours becomes close-to-skin scent |
5. Sana Jardin Revolution de la Fleur Eau De Parfum
Review
Revolution de la Fleur Eau De Parfum is a playful and elegant perfume that encapsulates feminine energy, inner strength and confidence, wrapped in tropical florals.
It opens up with a blast of frangipani, rose and ylang-ylang. This sweet, powdery concoction soon moves to an intriguing heart of jasmine and neroli, bringing a sparkly spice.
In the base, the composition is greeted by the creamy accord of vanilla extract and the warming embrace of sandalwood. This is a very unusual scent that I can’t compare to anything else I’ve smelled before!
Settles to a creamy, dreamy, floral oasis of ylang-ylang and frangipani that is very similar to another frangipani scent I have reviewed, Aerin Lauder Hibiscus Palm Eau de Parfum.
Top Notes:
Rose, Frangipani
Mid Notes:
Neroli, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine
Base Notes:
Vanilla Bean Extract, Sandalwood
Seasons & Longevity
Not too overpowering or sweet, the perfume is ideal for wearing for any occasion and most suitable for warmer spring, summer and autumn months. Layer with Nubian Musk for a slightly cleaner and more formal vibe.
Projection and sillage are both moderate with the longevity of around 5+ hours, slightly longer if applied on clothing.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Sophisticated tropical floral scent Elegant & contemporary |
| Cons | Slightly on the sweet side |
6. Sana Jardin Celestial Patchouli Eau de Parfum
Review
Celestial Patchouli Eau de Parfum is an intriguing chypre floral woody scent for women. Created by Carlos Benaim, this deep, aromatic perfume captivates with its warm, fragrant aura of woods, florals and spices.
The opening is crisp, spicy and floral, leading to a powdery heart of rose and osmanthus. Cypriol gives a slightly green twist to the fragrance with cinnamon, adding spicy sweetness.
Settles to an intriguing musky/earthy patchouli and woody fragrance supported by spices and florals. Check out my review of Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Eau de Parfum as it’s very similar but with a touch more rose.
Top Notes:
Coriander Seed
Mid Notes:
Orris, Osmanthus, Rose Absolute
Base Notes:
Cypriol, Cedarwood, Cinnamon Bark, Leather, Patchouli, Sandalwood
Seasons & Longevity
This is a cold season fragrance that is ideal for the autumn and winter months. Well worth a try, especially if, like me, you crave a bit more character from your fragrance.
Performance is good, and you can expect 6+ hours of longevity with decent sillage and projection.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Deep, warm & aromatic fragrance Relaxing & calming |
| Cons | Gorgeous yet weak floral notes |
7. Sana Jardin Savage Jasmin Eau de Parfum
Review
Savage Jasmine Eau de Parfum was launched in 2017 and is an ode to the tropical and sweet jasmine flower brought to our lands from exotic Morocco.
This mesmerising fragrance unfurls its petals with pure jasmine blended with spicy cloves. Its sharp, heady scent takes me right back to my childhood with my hands full of freshly picked jasmine and my nose buried in their blossoms.
Musk and tobacco notes join the crowd, bringing somewhat sweet and slightly woody, mossy earthiness. Tobacco and cloves fade after a while, leaving a raw, most realistic jasmine fragrance with the musk rounding and soothing the scent.
Top Notes:
Cloves
Mid Notes:
Jasmine
Base Notes:
Musk, Tobacco
Seasons & Longevity
This versatile fragrance is perfect for spring, summer and autumn. Wear it on a shopping day, your wedding day and everything in-between.
Performance is not incredible, but it will last 3+ hours with moderate sillage. For a long-lasting jasmine fragrance with more depth, I recommend Bvlgari Jasmin Noir Eau de Parfum.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Beautifully natural, raw jasmine scent Great for layering |
| Cons | Some may find this fragrance too sharp |
8. Sana Jardin Nubian Musk Eau de Parfum
Review
Nubian Musk Eau de Parfum is a floral woody musk fragrance. Although this unisex fragrance leans slightly more towards the male side, I personally feel it’s an attractive and magnetic scent for women.
A striking opening of grapefruit blossom and jasmine releases a subtly sweet, sparkling bitterness. The powdery rose note in the heart is soon engulfed by the exotic warmth of sandalwood accord.
Evergreen Cypriot, earthy patchouli and vetiver give a spicy finish, with hints of vanilla extract tipped with musk. Settles to a warm and musky woody scent that is powdery and oriental at the same time. Also consider Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur Eau de Parfum.
Top Notes:
Grapefruit Blossom
Mid Notes:
Jasmine Sambac, Rose, Sandalwood
Base Notes:
Cypriol, Patchouli, Vetiver, Vanilla Bean Extract, Musk
Seasons & Longevity
This seductive scent is gorgeous during colder autumn, winter and early spring months. Ideal as a dressy daytime scent.
It has a longevity of 7+ hours; however, the sillage and projection are only moderate. Try layering it with Sandalwood Temple to boost performance.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Spicy, warm patchouli/musk scent Modern, quirky & unusual |
| Cons | Close to skin, could have a better sillage |
Conclusion
Sana Jardin is far more than your average perfumery; they are changing the planet and the people on it. Here is living proof that a fragrance house can be people and planet conscious yet remain consumer-focused with highly desirable products.
Each Sana Jardin perfume in the collection is well blended and incredibly niche-like. What I also love about this brand is that the low cost of entry. You can start by purchasing a 2ml sample, 10ml rollerball, or discovery set, then working up to a full 50ml/100ml bottle.
