What does Orange x Santal smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick it for spring and summer, and for daytime, leisure and office wear; few see it as a winter scent. Votes lean somewhat masculine, though a fair share call it feminine.

Bitter orange and Italian orange give it a citrusy, fruity freshness. Australian sandalwood and cypress set that brightness on a woody base, oakmoss absolute adds a green edge, and Egyptian basil leaves a spicy trace. A creamy softness lingers around the sandalwood. Goldfield & Banks Bohemian Lime and Dries Van Noten Santal Greenery have a close profile.
