What does Sel Santal smell like?

Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, while winter draws far fewer. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. On character, masculine leads and feminine follows close behind.

It opens with bergamot, nutmeg and mandarin orange leaf, a cool, lightly spiced start. In the heart, violet, iris, hazelnut cream and salted fig add a soft, creamy floral touch. It dries down to sandalwood, musk and amber, with a warm woody finish.
