EarthyWhat does Santal Extreme (2021) smell like?
It opens with mint and Italian bergamot for a cool first impression. The heart of tonka bean, almond and vanilla turns sweet and creamy. Patchouli, nutmeg and sandalwood in the base settle it onto an earthy, spicy and woody footing.
Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Maison Tahité Arabican Rose and Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Extreme have a close profile.
