What does Santal Pondicherry smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen least. Wear is spread across leisure, business and evening. It reads equally masculine and feminine, with no clear lean either way.

Frankincense, cedarwood and citrus notes open it, while saffron and cardamom bring spice at the heart. In the base, sandalwood, vanilla and amber settle into a sweet, creamy, powdery woodiness, with cedarwood returning. Giorgio Armani Emporio Armani Stronger With You Sandalwood and Bon Parfumeur 302 Ambre Iris Santal have a close profile.
