SmokyWhat does Santal smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, though with so few votes these ratings are only a rough guide. It has no gendered lean and sits comfortably on anyone.
Taken as a whole, the scent has a woody, spicy backbone. Sandalwood lays a creamy base while frankincense adds a smoky air and cumin brings a spicy warmth. Violet gives a powdery, floral softness, and peach adds a fruity freshness that lightens the weight.
