What does Santal Pao Rosa smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is also worn for leisure. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine.

Fig, rose and hazelnut build a sweet frame. Sandalwood and cardamom add a woody, spicy warmth inside it, while oud and myrrh bring a smoky, resinous depth. The accords read distinctly oriental. Tom Ford Oud Fleur and Ormonde Jayne Belle de Nuit have a close profile.
