What does Palo Santo smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening, leisure and nights out leading the occasions. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it reads comfortably on either side.
It opens with rum and davana, then moves into Venezuelan tonka bean, milk and Paraguayan gaiac wood. The base of Haitian vetiver, Atlas cedar and Dominican amyris sets a woody floor. The sweet, gourmand side stays creamy and soft, while the spicy and smoky tones are balanced by the wood.
