About This Perfume

Think sparkling bergamot and pineapple, warm pepper: that is Yves de Sistelle Santino. It opens with bergamot, coriander and pineapple, moves into iris, nutmeg and pepper and settles on amber, musk and woody notes. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.

This eau de toilette is best in fall and winter and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2012.

Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
  • Sample first if: citrus is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.

Around $85.

Yves de Sistelle Sanderling (2011) comes across as sunlit garden flowers with soft powdery warmth, with bergamot and gardenia leaf at the start and vanilla, musky notes and precious woods at the base. Yves de Sistelle Chairman (Eau de Toilette) reads as baked apple pie with cinnamon, cedar and vanilla, opening on candied apple and basil and drying down to vanilla, cedarwood and amber. Yves de Sistelle Only Me Passion (Eau de Parfum) opens with tropical fruits and ends on musk; overall it reads as tropical fruit sorbet with rose petal musk.
