What does Mon Santal smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring well behind. Leisure and evening are the most chosen occasions, while daily wear, business and nights out follow close behind. Votes for feminine, modern and masculine sit near each other, so it doesn't lean firmly toward either gender.

It opens with cardamom, pink pepper, nutmeg, grapefruit and bergamot, bright and spicy. In the heart, frankincense, palo santo and lactone soften it. The base of Australian sandalwood, vanilla, caramel and musk leaves a sweet, creamy trail.
