What does Santal 33 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer not far behind, and it is chosen for leisure and daily wear as well as for the office. Votes lean masculine, though a good share call it feminine.

The scent stays in one fresh, green, woody register. Sandalwood and cedarwood form the core, cardamom adds spice, and leather brings a dry, leathery edge. Iris, violet and papyrus soften it with a powdery, slightly creamy feel, while ambrox adds a clean, synthetic gloss. Scentiments Sandalwood 33 and RP Santal Rouge have a close profile.
