What does Zenith Santal smell like?

Saffron opens at the top, and chestnut and lavender follow in the heart. Sandalwood, vanilla and cedarwood sit in the base. The creamy and resinous accords soften the sweetness, while the woody side keeps the scent balanced.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, with most voters scoring both high. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It sits comfortably on both men and women, leaving a warm, dense trail. Maison Alhambra Your Touch Santal and Giorgio Armani Emporio Armani - Stronger With You Sandalwood have a close profile.
