What does Santal Sultan (Pure Parfum) smell like?

Most voters find its longevity very strong and its sillage strong. Spring and fall lead the season votes, with winter close behind, and evening and leisure are the most named occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though some call it feminine.

The scent as a whole rests on sandalwood, cedarwood, amber and patchouli, giving a woody, resinous, creamy base. Pineapple and lemon add a fruity, citrusy brightness, jasmine and mimosa a soft floral touch, and rosemary a spicy edge.
