What does Santal des Indes smell like?

Absinth and frankincense open on a resinous, slightly sharp note. In the heart, narcissus absolute and Turkish rose absolute bring a powdery floral softness, while curry leaf and Chinese toon push the spicy, earthy side. The base joins Mysore sandalwood, vetiver, musk and Morocco leather into a creamy wood with a leathery warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and also works for business and nights out. Taklamakan and Santal Noble have a close profile.
