What does Santal smell like?

Sandalwood sits at the centre, with saffron and rose adding a spiced, floral warmth. Red fruits bring out the sweetness, while frankincense, Indonesian patchouli and vetiver give it a woody, earthy depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, with summer chosen least. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on men and women alike. Its profile is close to Ard Al Zaafaran Mithqal and Xerjoff 400.
