What does Santal Complet smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin while still being noticed. Most voters pick fall and spring, though winter and summer are not far behind. It leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out, and it also works at the office. More voters call it feminine, but a good share see it as masculine.

It opens with coconut and lemon: the coconut brings the sweetness straight away and the lemon lifts it slightly. In the heart, violet adds a powdery softness while black pepper brings a spicy edge. The base of vanilla, sandalwood, musk and amber settles into a creamy, woody, sweet warmth.
