About Sanctuary
Sanctuary: A New Olfactory Retreat from Clandestine Laboratories
Sanctuary is the latest release from niche house Clandestine Laboratories, created by perfumer Mark Sage. This unisex fragrance invites introspection and balance.
Launched in 2026, the composition balances zesty citrus with warm resins. Early reviews have given it an average rating of 4.07 out of 5.
Sanctuary opens with a bright burst of bergamot and citron, two citrus notes that deliver immediate freshness. They are soon joined by tomato leaf and yerba mate, adding a green, aromatic, and gently spicy character.
In the heart, opoponax and incense unfold a resinous, almost sacred depth. Peru balsam and labdanum bring warmth and sweetness, while a subtle woody undertone begins to emerge.
The base rests on a soft musk that wraps the entire composition. The effect is both deep and airy, with a sillage that lasts for hours without becoming overwhelming.
Mark Sage has crafted a fragrance that plays with contrasts: light and shadow, freshness and warmth. It evolves on the skin over time, revealing new facets with each wear.
This is a scent for those who appreciate character and nuance. It works equally well for formal occasions or quiet, personal moments.
Sanctuary will appeal to anyone who loves contrasts—women and men who enjoy both sparkling citrus and deep resins, and who seek a distinctive, refined signature.
With Sanctuary, Clandestine Laboratories delivers a masterful, elegant composition. A niche fragrance that deserves a place in any serious collection.
