What does Santal Segar smell like?

It opens with May rose, rose otto and summer flowers for a floral freshness. In the heart, yuzu and bergamot keep the citrus note going while vanilla and sandalwood soften it. The base of tonka bean, amber and vanilla leaves a sweet, creamy, slightly smoky warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it is used mostly for leisure and daily wear. Feminine, classic and masculine votes sit close together, so it reads comfortably across genders. Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur Ambra et Fleurs and Acqua di Parma Zafferano have a close profile.
