What does X Santal smell like?

Sandalwood's soft woodiness is joined by the spice of cardamom. In the heart, papyrus, orris root, violet and shea butter lean floral and creamy. The base of amber, vanilla and musk sweetens and softens everything. The overall feel is fresh and woody, with a slightly synthetic sheen.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and suits anyone. There are too few votes to say which seasons or occasions it favours. Its profile is close to RP Santal Rouge and Byredo Desert Dawn.
