What does Santalové smell like?

It opens with ylang-ylang and bergamot, and sandalwood carries the heart. In the base, tonka bean and vanilla sweeten it, leaving a creamy, resinous warmth. Spicy and earthy touches stay in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and leisure time. It reads more feminine and classic, though a fair number of voters find it masculine. Alverde Oriental Touch and Georges Rech Oriental Dream have a close profile.
