What does Santos (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and few suggest summer. It is mostly linked with evenings and nights out, though it also finds a place at work and in daily wear. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters call it masculine and classic.

Basil, juniper and lavender open it. Towards the heart, vetiver, rosemary and pepper take over, and in the base vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli soften and sweeten it. The overall feel is green, earthy and lightly smoky. Amouage Memoir Man and Caron Yatagan (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
