Devoti Peccatori: A New Woody Oriental from Santi Peccatori

Devoti Peccatori, the latest fragrance from Santi Peccatori, arrives in 2026 as a woody oriental creation designed for men and women. It was composed by perfumer Xavier Blaizot, whose work here centers on contrast and texture.

According to the official notes, it opens with ambergris, galbanum, and cocoa; develops through Indian sandalwood, tonka bean, and cypriol (nagarmota); and settles into vanilla absolute, amber, and oak. The result is a scent built on contrast, with a green, resinous start and a sweet, earthy finish.

Santi Peccatori has built the entire composition around amber and wood, but the supporting accords are unusually rich. The listed accords include vanilla, green notes, cocoa, aromatic, earthy, balsamic, warm spicy, and sweet. That combination gives the perfume an expansive personality that reveals itself slowly.

The opening is especially distinctive. Ambergris adds a salty, mineral shimmer; galbanum brings a sharp green facet; cocoa introduces a dark, bittersweet gourmand touch. Together they create an introduction that is neither purely fresh nor purely sweet — a tension that carries through the heart.

In the middle, Indian sandalwood and tonka bean soften the structure with creamy, milky depth. Cypriol (nagarmota) adds an earthy, woody counterpoint that keeps the sweetness from becoming too heavy. The drydown then moves toward vanilla absolute, amber, and oak, where the fragrance feels warm, balsamic, and softly resinous.

With a perfect early rating of 5/5, Devoti Peccatori is a statement piece for the house. It is also a shared fragrance, positioned for men and women rather than as a strictly masculine or feminine composition.

This will appeal to fragrance lovers who enjoy bold, amber-forward scents with a gourmand undercurrent — and to anyone looking for a new signature for cool weather, evenings, or special occasions.

Devoti Peccatori is a daring addition to Santi Peccatori's line: a woody oriental that reconciles light and shadow, sweetness and earth. For a new launch, it already feels like a composition with a strong identity, one that invites repeated sampling and quiet reflection.
