ResinousWhat does Santal Auster (Parfum Extrait) smell like?
Its longevity is rated as good, and half of the voters call it strong, though the vote count is small, so treat that as a first impression. It is classed as a masculine fragrance.
Sandalwood and oud form the woody core, while patchouli and opoponax add a sweet, resinous depth. Styrax and castoreum bring out the creamy, faintly animalic side. Dior Oud Ispahan and Tom Ford Oud Fleur have a close profile.
