What does Santal smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters wear it across the seasons, with spring and autumn slightly ahead. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and it is also chosen for the office. Most voters find it masculine, though a fair number read it as feminine.
It opens with cypress, green mandarin orange and lemon, bright and crisp. In the heart, myrtle and rosemary add a green, herbal touch. In the base, cedar, musk and Australian sandalwood settle into a woody, powdery finish. Goutal Eau d'Hadrien and Ted Baker Skinwear have a close profile.
