What does Sandalo (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Lemon, lavender, petitgrain and bitter orange give it an open, fresh start. In the middle, Mysore sandalwood, Java patchouli and cedarwood lead, with lilac adding a soft floral touch. The base of musk, amber and vanilla sweetens it and leaves a warm, powdery finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin yet remains noticeable through the day. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring close behind. Business, daily wear and leisure are the leading occasions. It reads masculine to most, though a fair share of voters call it feminine. Guerlain Héritage and Parah Parah Noir have a close profile.
