What does Santal Volcanique smell like?

Lime and ginger give it a bright, slightly sharp freshness, with cardamom adding spice. Sandalwood and cedar build a woody base, ylang-ylang brings a soft floral note and musk adds a creamy sweetness. Coffee absolute stays in the background of the blend.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. More voters call it masculine, though it reads as unisex.
