The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Immortali Santi is the 2026 release from Santi Peccatori, composed by Maud Chabanis. Here, the contradiction runs through the juice itself: bright, almost celebratory top notes sitting on a dense floral heart that doesn't behave. Chabanis built it as a floral-citrus Eau de Parfum around a champagne accord, Italian bergamot, and Sicilian blood orange, then buried something thicker underneath. The bergamot lifts the opening with a green-citrus snap, the blood orange adds a softer, almost candied sweetness just behind it, and the champagne accord carries the fizz that ties those top notes to what comes next. The structure is a pivot point, not a landing. It opens like a toast and settles into something you have to sit with. The florals underneath aren't polite either.
Champagne as a perfumery note is rarely a protagonist. Usually it skims across the top of a fragrance for thirty seconds and evaporates. Here, it threads through Sicilian blood orange and Italian bergamot at the surface, then reappears in the drydown riding against tuberose absolute and Ambroxan. Iso E Super and Cashmeran build a skin-warm haze underneath. The result is a composition where the line between the bright opening and the heavier heart blurs with every hour. The champagne accord doesn't vanish after the top notes fade.
The evolution
The first fifteen minutes belong to citrus. Sicilian blood orange and Italian bergamot crackle against the champagne accord, sharp, almost effervescent, like the sound of a cork still echoing in a room. Then the florals arrive, and they don't tiptoe. Indian tuberose absolute pushes forward with Indian jasminum grandiflorum right behind it, joined by honeysuckle for a greenish-sweet thread. Clary sage cools the edges. Iso E Super and Cashmeran start pulling everything closer to skin. By the two-hour mark the citrus is gone, replaced by a warm, musky floral that reads creamy without being powdery. Ambroxan lifts the base, giving it a woody-amber hum that lasts into the drydown. The transition from the opening sparkle to the mid-phase creaminess happens faster than you'd expect, almost as if the florals were waiting just beneath the citrus the whole time.
Cultural impact
Immortali Santi entered the fragrance space in 2026 as part of Santi Peccatori's expanding lineup. The composition is listed as fresh-floral in its main accord, with a champagne-forward opening that gives way to a dense tuberose heart. At least one early wearer has commented on the way the tuberose reshapes what starts as a citrus composition, noting how the floral takes over and reorients the entire scent within the first hour. Because the release is recent, there's limited feedback to draw from, but the early response points to a fragrance that trades easy accessibility for a more layered, evolving wear.
