What does Armani Privé - Santal Dān Shā smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without pushing itself on the room. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer and winter close behind. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen settings. More voters call it masculine, though the feminine vote is strong too.

Violet leaf, Calabrian bergamot and Guatemala cardamom open it fresh, green and lightly spiced. In the heart, elemi resin, frankincense and musk soften it and make it creamier. New Caledonian sandalwood, Dreamwood™ and Virginia cedar carry the woody base. Composed by Fabrice Pellegrin, it shares a close profile with French Avenue Essence de Blanc and Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Cypress.
