AnimalWhat does Art Collection - 203 Man / Micallef Studio - Imperial Santal smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. It leans towards calm, everyday wear for men.
It opens with bergamot and grapefruit, a fresh, slightly green citrus. In the heart, vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood build a woody body, and the musk and fir balsam in the base soften it into a powdery, faintly animal warmth. Fruity and sweet touches stay in the background. Schlossparfumerie Wolff & Sohn Stuttgart Impérial Santal and Costume National Homme Parfum have a close profile.
