From your scent profile
H&M Santalum Eau de Parfum is a sweet, spicy woody-oriental with a creamy, resinous side, and it reads as unisex.
Skunky's take: Comes alive when it gets cold; fall and winter are its seasons.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the votes come from a small sample. It wears as both a men's and a women's scent.
Myrtle, cypress and pine open green and resinous. In the heart, white peach, white blossoms and jasmine soften and sweeten it. It dries down to musk, Virginia cedar and sandalwood, a woody, creamy base.
