SmokyWhat does Santal Insolent smell like?
It opens with pepper, elemi resin and cardamom, so the spice comes first. In the heart, cedarwood, sandalwood and frankincense build a woody, resinous core. The base of papyrus, leather and amber settles into a smoky, earthy, leathery warmth.
Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, while few choose summer. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small. Davidoff Leather Blend and Emir Rich Santal have a close profile.
