What does Santal Galore smell like?

It opens with durian fruit and Indonesian sandalwood absolute, giving a fruity, creamy sweetness. At the heart, rose, jasmine, osmanthus and Turkish rose water form a floral veil over a soft sandalwood. The base brings clove and cassia spice, while deer musk, oakmoss and tonka bean pull it towards an animal, chypre-leaning, sweet finish.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, with winter and spring following and summer least favoured. Being unisex, it suits anyone who wants a rich, dense scent without a gender label. Jaguar Essentially Jaguar and Vandini Sensual have a close profile.
